DIFFUSION OF ASPIRIN-(ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID) BASED DRUGSIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION AT 25C
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Diffusion is a macroscopic motion of components of a system that arises from concentration difference and plays a vital role in drug migration in the bodygoverned by Fickian diffusion laws. This project considers effective ...
SOIL FERTILITY AMENDEMENT USING MOLASSES WASTEWATER AND PIGWASTE AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON SOIL CHARACTERISTICS AND YIELD OF COWPEAS (Vigna unguiculata)
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Soil fertility is the number-one natural resource in Africa. However, due to high soil acidity and low fertility, food production has declined over the last decade. A case in point is in Uasin Gishu County, where farmers ...

(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Leishmaniasis is endemic in over 88 countries in the world and 350 million people are considered at risk. The standard drugs for treatment of leishmaniases are toxic, expensive and resistance against them is increasing. ...
Ab-initio STUDIES OF STRUCTURAL, ELECTRONIC, MAGNETIC AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF NICKEL OXIDE
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Nickel Oxide (NiO) has many applications in solar energy utilization, due to variations
in electronic, optical and magnetic properties. However, a satisfactory description of its
properties is still not available. There ...
MANAGEMENT OF POTATO LATE BLIGHT (Phytopthora infestans) USING ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a key food as well as cash crop in the highlands of Kenya, and is extensively produced by small-scale farmers. It is the second most significant food crop in Kenya after maize employing over ...
OPTIMAL DESIGN FOR SECOND-DEGREE KRONECKER MODEL MIXTURE EXPERIMENTS FOR MAXIMAL PARAMETER SUBSYSTEM
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Products in many disciplines frequently involve blending two or more ingredients
together. The design factors in a mixture experiment are the proportions of the

(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Endemic Burkitt’s lymphoma (eBL) is the most common cancer that affects children in Africa. Co-infection of re-current Plasmodium falciparum (P.falciparum) malaria with Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) is among risk factors of ...
MODELLING OF OPTICAL FIBRE SENSOR BASED ON STIMULATEDBRILLOUIN SCATTERING
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Distributed fibre optic sensing presents unique features that have no match in
conventional sensing techniques. The ability to measure temperatures and strain at
thousands of points along a single mode fibre is ...
EVALUATION OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGUS Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae FOR INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF TERMITES (Isoptera: Termitidae) IN MAIZE IN SIAYA COUNTY.
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Maize (Zea mays L) is one of the major staple food crops in Africa contributing significantly to food security; however its production has been declining in the recent past. Termites are one of major yield reducers accounting ...
GERMINATION PHYSIOLOGY OF AFRICAN BIRD’S EYE CHILI SEED
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Seed germination parameters may be determined by stage of seed maturity and the level of dormancy. These parameters subject the seed to varied responses on sensitivity to environmental factors that stimulate germination ...
