CONSTRUCTION OF MODIFIED THIRD ORDER ROTATABLE DESIGNS THROUGH PAIRWISE BALANCED DESIGNS
(2019-11-30)
Rotatable designs are designed for use of response surfaces. Rotatability is evidently a greatly popular property for Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM is a group of statistical and mathematical technique valuable ...
EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON THE VALUE OF SPECIFIC HEAT JUMP ON LITHIUM TITANIUM OXIDE
(2019-11-30)
Superconductivity is an observable scientific fact exhibited by some materials at extremely low temperature approaching 0 K where their specific heat capacities (a thermodynamic bulk property) change as they transition to ...
POST MORTEM INSECT SUCCESSION AND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS ON DECOMPOSING PIG (Sus domesticus L) CARRION IN ELDORET AND MARIGAT, KENYA
(2019-11-30)
The death of human provides a decomposing media in the carcass/carrion which act as reservoir for rapidly changing habitat and food source for microorganisms and arthropods. The pattern of micro/macro-organisms succession ...
ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF BLACK NIGHT SHADE (SOLANUM NIGRUM) GROWN IN THE RIFT VALLEY, WESTERN AND NYANZA REGIONS OF KENYA
(2019)
Solanum nigrum complex comprises of plant species that belong to Solanum section Solanum used as indigenous leafy vegetables in Kenya. The S. nigrum complex species have been used traditionally as medicine. Many species ...
ETIOLOGY OF LEAF RUST CAUSING FUNGI INFECTING SELECTED BRACHIARIA (Brachiaria mutica; Forssk) GENOTYPES IN KENYA
(2019)
These rust diseases causing pathogens are also of importance to many crops, hence the need to clarify the species delimitations in the natural lineages infecting brachiaria grass. The classification of yellow leaf rust ...
Community-acquired Invasive Bacterial Disease in Urban Gambia, 2005–2015: A Hospital-based Surveillance
(Oxford University Press for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2019)
"Background: Invasive bacterial diseases cause significant disease and death in sub-Saharan Africa. Several are vaccine preventable, although the impact of new vaccines and vaccine policies on disease patterns in these ...
The Occurrence and Pathological Characterization of Rust Causing Fungi of Brachiaria Grass in Kenya
(African Journal of Education Science and Technology, 2019)
Brachiaria grass is one of the most important grasses distributed throughout the tropics especially in Africa. The quality of forage yields and biomass of brachiaria is negatively affected by diseases among which leaf spot, ...
Optimal Kiefer Ordering of Simplex Designs for Third-Degree Mixture Kronecker-Models with three ingredients.
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2019)
This paper investigates the Kiefer optimality in the third-degree Kronecker model for mixture experiments. For
mixture models on the simplex, a better design is obtained, by matrix majorization that yields a larger ...
BIO-CONTROL OF SELECTED BARLEY FUNGAL PATHOGENS USING Paenibacillus polymyxa KaI245 ISOLATED FROM SORGHUM RHIZOSPHERE IN WESTERN KENYA
(2019)
The use of agrochemicals in agriculture has several advantages but has been reported to
cause phytotoxicity, hazardous to animals and the environment. In a quest to find
alternatives, this study sought to test selected ...
Modified Phenomenological Formula for the Ground State Energy of Light Nuclei
(World Scientific News, 2019)
A modified phenomenological formula for the ground state binding energy in the region of light nuclei is proposed. Since binding energy is proportional to the volume of a nuclide, the new formula contains a volume term ...
