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 ...
Mathematical Modelling of the COVID-19 Pandemic with Demographic Effects
(Springer Nature, 2021-03-17)
In this paper, a latent infection susceptible–exposed–infectious–recovered model with demographic efects is used to understand the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemics. We calculate the basic reproduction number (R0) by ...
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. ...
The Role of Bio-Extracted Reduced Graphene Oxide in the Crystallization Kinetics of Chitosan Bio-Polymer
(Scientific research and community, 2021-01-29)
Carbon nanomaterials have recently attracted wide scientific applications due to their tunable properties. These novel materials act as best fillers that can provide substantial benefits due to their high strength, thermal ...
