Iron Deficiency is Prevalent among HIV-Infected Kenyan Adults and is Better Measured by Soluble Transferrin Receptor than Ferritin
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2018-08-02)
Iron deficiency (ID) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection frequently coexist. Little data exist on ID in HIV-infected individuals, partly because the iron marker ferritin is altered by inflammation common in ...
Comparative assessment of landslide susceptibility by logistic regression and first order second moment method: Case study of Bujumbura Peri-Urban Area, Burundi.
(Journal of Engineering Research and Application, 2018-08)
Several landslides incidents in the Bujumbura region are reported regularly by independent sources. However,
few studies on the causes in the region have been conducted and no record of susceptibility map at a regional
exists. ...
Calibration and validation of EPA SWMM for stormwater runoffmodelling in Nyabugogo catchment, Rwanda
(Journal of Sustainable Research in Engineering, 2018)
Rapid urbanization isknown to have several negative impacts towards hydrological cycle. Urban growth contributes to the increase of impervious area which increases stormwater runoff peak flows and volumes. Nyabugogo ...
Probabilistic landslide risk assessment: Case study of Bujumbura
(2018)
A spatial probabilistic landslide risk assessment and mapping
model has been applied in a data scare region. The probabilistic model is
based on a physical model based on Mohr coulomb failure criterion. A
Monte Carlo ...
The Effect of Climate Change on Loss of Lake Volume: Case of Sedimentation in Central Rift Valley Basin, Ethiopia
(2018-12-11)
Evaluating the impact of climate change on sediment yield has become one of the major
topics in climate research. The purpose of this study was to investigate sediment yield contribution to
lake volume change under ...
A comparative study of Labeo victorianus (Bouelenger, 1901) and Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758) grown in polyculture systems
(2018)
A polyculture experiment with African carp (Labeo victorianus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was conducted for 24 weeks in 12 earthen ponds measuring 150 m² to assess their compatibility. Monoculture treatments ...
Fine Tuning the Microenvironment of [Euw10o36]9- Anion Leads to the Large Enhancement of the Red Light Luminescence
(North-Holland, 2018-04-01)
The polyoxometalate (POM) anion of europium (III) decatungstate [EuW10O36]9- exhibits great luminescence quantum yields of approximately 67% but suffers reduced red light emissions that are due to the low 5D0→7F2 transmissions. ...
Kachok Dumpsite Characteristics and Its Future – A Third Kenyan City Perspective
(International Journal of Waste Resources, 2018-01)
47 Counties inclusive of Kisumu were created as regional administrative units by the Kenyan constitution 2010.
The County Government immediately redirected Solid Wastes from other county’s townships to be disposed at ...
