Two-dimensional graphene–HfS2 van der Waals heterostructure as electrode material for alkali-ion batteries
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-07)
Poor electrical conductivity and large volume expansion during repeated charge and discharge is what has
characterized many battery electrode materials in current use. This has led to 2D materials, specifically
multi-layered ...
Ab initio insights into Graphene-Zirconium disulfide/diselenide heterostructure as electrode material for alkali-ion batteries
(Surfaces and interfaces, 2021)
In the search for an energy storage medium with higher electronic conductivity, rate performance and moderate volume expansion, van der Waals heterostructures
are a promising alternative. Herein, the potential of graphene ...
Frequency stability characterization: DFB laser and Raman pump performance on a distributed clock signal over 24.69 km fiber
(Journal of the Optical Society of America, 2020-07)
Distribution of timing and frequency signals in a fast-changing world requires unprecedented levels of stability for
characterization.Transfer of frequency references over long distance without introducing any additional ...
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Elevated Blood Pressure and Elevated Blood Glucose among Residents of Kajiado County, Kenya: A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Survey
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020)
Kenya is experiencing a rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), yet data
to inform effective interventions are limited. We investigated the prevalence of elevated blood
pressure, elevated blood glucose and ...
Effect of Aflatoxin Laced Diet on the Utero-Fallopian Tube Histology in New Zealand White Rabbits
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2022-06-01)
Fungi are extremely adaptable organisms with the capacity to metabolize a large variety of
substrates over a wide range of environmental conditions and are produced only under
aerobic conditions. Aflatoxin contamination ...

(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2022-06)
This study was conducted in Radat sub-location, Mogotio sub-county, Baringo county. The
objective of the study was to evaluate nutritive value, tannin bio assay and processing effects
of mature green Acacia species pods ...
Hatchability and Survival of silkworm Bombyx mori and Eri Worms under Controlled Environmental Conditions in Uasin Gishu County
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2022-06-01)
Eri worm (Samia Cynthia racini), a domesticated non-mulberry silkworm is polyphagous
and multivoltine, while mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori) is bivoltine and feeds on mulberry
leaves. Domesticated silkworms are highly ...
Investigation of Pavonia urens as Potential Biosorbent in Phytoremediation of Metal Pollutants through Complexation
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2022-06)
Environmental pollution involving metal ions represents a potential threat to life. This is due to different chemical wastes discharged to the environment with no or minimal treatment to reduce and decrease the harmful ...
Distribution and Morphometric Characteristics of Domesticated Rabbit Breeds in North Rift and Western Regions, Kenya
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2022-06)
Rabbits (Otyctolagus cuniculus) occur throughout the world with their breeds distinctively identified phenotypically by coat color, body size and shape. The common rabbit breeds in Kenya are New Zealand White, Californian ...
Uncovering the Interaction between Potassium, Magnesium and Sulfur on Cassava Growth and Root Yield
(Hill Publishing, 2022-10)
wide range of yield limiting factors causes a large yield gap. Next to pests and diseases, nutrient deficiencies and imbalances are likely contributors to low yields. Cassava has a high potassium (K) demand, yet previous ...
