ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY, PHYTOCHEMICAL PROFILE AND CYTOTOXICITY OF SELECTED MEDICINAL PLANTS FOUND IN KAPTUMO DIVISION IN NANDI COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
In Kenya, medicinal plants have been used by the local people as traditional medicine to treat different human ailments from time immemorial. The efficacy and safety of most of these plants has not been determined hence ...
POTENTIAL OF TEA FACTORY WASTE IN REMOVAL OF SELECTED HEAVY METAL IONS FROM SIMULATED CONTAMINATED WASTE WATER
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Pollution of water resources has increased with human activities world over and heavy metals are major contaminants. In this study, removal of Cd2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+ ions from simulated contaminated water using ...
USE OF SLOW SAND FILTRATION TO IMPROVE TREATED EFFLUENT AT BOUNDARY SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT (ELDORET) FOR IRRIGATION
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Food insecurity in Kenya due to dependence on rainfall, coupled with drying up of rivers and wells during the dry season make it impossible to grow crops throughout the year. These factors have increased the demand on this ...
DETERMINATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF 17-α METHYLTESTOSTERONE ON SEX REVERSAL OF NILE TILAPIA, OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS AT DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
The aim of the study was to determinate the efficiency of 17-α methyltestosterone on sex reversal of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus at different developmental stages. Fish were seined from Eldoret fish farm and those ...
A DESIGN OF A LOW-REYNOLDS NUMBER AIRFOIL THAT LEADS TO THE FORMATION OF SEPARATION BUBBLES AT THE LEADING EDGE
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
The aerodynamics of airfoils at low Reynolds numbers (Re) has become increasingly important from both fundamental and industrial points of view, due to recent developments in small wind turbines, small unmanned aerial ...
NUCLEON-NUCLEON INTERACTION IN RHENIUM- 186Re.
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Properties of nuclear matter and large finite nuclei have been studied using different types
of nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction potential. In this study, focus is on the thermodynamic
properties of a large nucleus of ...
EFFECT OF GRAIN SIZE, BED DEPTH AND RETENTION TIME IN INTERMITTENT BIOSAND FILTERS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SECONDARY SEWAGE EFFLUENT QUALITY
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Biosand filtration (BsF) is a simple technique used for pathogen and particle removal
in drinking water purification. It may be adapted for wastewater stabilization but only
a few studies have been done on improvement ...
NUCLEATION OF SUPERCONDUCTING VORTICES BY EXCITING ACOUSTIC STANDING WAVES IN A TYPE - II SUPERCONDUCTOR
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Superconductivity nucleation phenomenon in superconductors under an applied magnetic field close to the upper critical field HC3 has been studied by many authors. Physicists Saint-James and De Gennes were the first to study ...
