Prevalence, Incidence and Severity of Anthracnose in Carica Papaya Fruits in Baringo and Elgeyo-Marakwet Counties
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2020)
Papaya is the fourth most important fruit crop in Kenya after oranges, mangoes and
bananas. It has also become an important export crop in the arid and semi-arid lands.
Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides ...
INCIDENCE AND SEVERITY OF ANTHRACNOSE (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) ON SELECTED COMMON BEAN (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) GENOTYPES
(American Journal of Agricultural Research, 2020)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), is among the most important
legume crop for protein source in peoples’ diet globally and including
Kenya. Anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) is a common
disease of legumes ...
INCOMMENSURATE CRYSTALLIZATION OF NEUTRON MATTER IN NEUTRON STARS
(EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS, 2020)
The composition of the neutron stars from its surface region, outer-core, inner-core, and to its center is still being investigated. One
can only surmise on the properties of neutron stars from the spectroscopic data ...
Water Defluoridation by Adsorption Using Aluminium Modified Chicken Feathers
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2021)
Sufficient fluoride (F-
) ingestion through food, soil and water is necessary for the
development of healthy bones and teeth while excess of it results in dental, skeletal and
soft tissue damage. To protect people ...
Insecticidal Activity of Chrysanthemum Cinerariifolium & Allium Sativa Natural Oils against Prostephanus truncatus
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2021)
The larger grain borer (Prostephanus truncatus) is one of the most destructive
post-harvest pest that affects maize and other crops like cassava. Synergists are
substances added to pyrethrin increase efficacy and also ...
Multiple drug resistance of Campylobacter jejuni and Shigella isolated from diarrhoeic children at Kapsabet County referral hospital, Kenya
(BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021)
Background: Diarrhoea is a common cause of mortality and morbidity in children under five years old. In Kenya, it
has a 21% case fatality with Enteropathogenic E. coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Shigella spp. and Salmonella ...
Potable Water Fluoride Rapid Detection Based on TBAF Desilylation by a Novel Fluorogenic 7-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-3-cyano-4-methylcoumarin Compound
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology (AJEST), 2021-05)
This article reports the synthesis and properties of a novel fluoride detector, 7-O-tertbutyldimethylsilyl-3-cyano-4-methylcoumarin, which emits a lavender blue fluorescence in aqueous solution when fluoride ions are ...
Computation of the Expectation Value of the Electron – Phonon and Coulomb Interaction Hamiltonian using Second Quantization and Many Body Techniques
(International Journal of Research and Analytical Reviews (IJRAR), 2020-12)
The problem of the strong electron coupling in the theory of superconductivity has been discussed in many studies on the basis of electron and phonon spectral functions. For the rationale of investigating the effect of ...
Design of simultaneous multicolor coherent light generation in a single MgO:PPLN bulk crystal
(Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 2020-11)
We report on simultaneous sum-frequency mixing and doubling of C-band and 980 nm laser sources using a
single segmented periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal in a single-pass configuration. Our theoretical
analysis ...
Health Risk Assessment Levels of Selected Heavy Metals on Solanum Nigrum, Soils and Water Collected Along River Moiben, Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya
(Archives of Organic and Inorganic Chemical Sciences, 2020-09)
The study investigated heavy metals’ levels in soil, Solanum nigrum and irrigation water from intense Moiben irrigated farms
located in Meibeki Karuna, Uasin Gishu County. Purposive sampling was used to identify farms ...
