Lonchocarpus eriocalyx (Harms) Herb Extract for Use as Painkillers
(Science Publishing Group, 2020-02-19)
Today, many herbal preparations are being prescribed as analgesics. In the past decade, there has been a resurgence of interest in traditional systems of medicine which has become a topic of global interest. Indeed, many ...
Land Use Changes and Impacts on Livelihoods of the Communities Adjacent to Mt Elgon Forest Ecosystem
(Journal of Geography, Environment and Earth Science International, 2020-09-28)
Forests play a critical role in providing essential goods and services to forest adjacent communities. There is, however, insufficient information on how land uses affect the availability and use of forest products and ...
Aflatoxin B1 Affects Kenyan Markets: How It Can be Managed
(Advances in Research, 2020-02-14)
Aflatoxin B1 is a toxin produced as secondary fungal metabolites by the fungus Aspergillus, particularly A. flavus. The toxin has significantly contaminated the food supply chain especially cereals in Kenya. Kenya Bureau ...
Design and Synthesis of Reusable Nanoparticles for Reversible Chemisorption of Hexavalent Chromium Anions from Aqueous Media and Catalysis
(Journal of Chemistry, 2020-07-14)
A magnetically active nanocomposite material has been synthesized from the reaction mixture of magnetite core iron nano-particles electrostatically coated with SiO2, hydrotalcite nanosheets ([Eu8 (OH) 20 (H2O)n] 4+), and ...
Agronomic Characterization of Soybean and Bambara Groundnut Genotypes Grown on Different Soils of Lake Victoria Basin
(Fundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2020-04-29)
Neglect and under-utilization of legumes such as soybeans and bambaragroundnuts are the reason for increased food insufficiency in the Lake Vic toria basin. Diversification of legumes into the cropping systems of LakeVictoria ...
Trace Metal Detection in Aqueous Reservoirs Using Stilbene Intercalated Layered Rare-Earth Hydroxide Tablets
(Hindawi, 2020-03-30)
Contamination of aquatic reservoirs with metal ions is a slow gradual process that is not easy to detect. Consequences of the metal ions, especially the ones with high atomic numbers (heavy metals) at high concentrations, ...
Layered Rare-Earth Hydroxide Unilameller Nanosheets: Synthesis, Characterization, and Adsorption
(Hindawi, 2020-01-28)
Unilameller nanosheets with a lateral dimension of one nanometer have been isolated from a colloidal solution of europium-containing layered rare-earth hydroxide (LRH) material by the flocculation method. The nanosheets ...
On Centre Properties of Irreducible Subalgebras of Compact Elementary Operators
(doi:10.30538/psrp-oma2020.0065, 2020)
In this paper, we characterize the centre of dense irreducible subalgebras of compact elementary operators that are spectrally bounded. We show that the centre is a unital, irreducible and commutative C∗ -subalgebra. ...
Sensitivity Analyses of Population Projection Matrix of Cestrum Aurantiacum
(Kenya Forestry Research Institute/Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of science and Technology., 2020)
The Lefkovitch stage specific matrix population models are divided into discrete stage classes defined by a growth variable such as size, height and diameter at breast height for trees. In matrix model, the deterministic ...
Extensions of Lefkovitch Matrix for Modeling Invasive Cestrum Aurantiacum Population Dynamics
(KEFRI/, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of science and Technology., 2020)
Modeling of invasive species using stage based matrix methods can be exploited to understand population dynamics of plants using stage based Leftkovitch matrix models. This study reviewed and extended the stage based matrix ...
