Developments of oil-free Bakelite resistive plate chambers for particle physics experiments
(Journal of Instrumentation; IOP Publishing, 2014-07)
In this paper, we sumarized a Bakelite Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) with non-oil surface treatment. This type of RPC has been installed and run smoothly in BESIII Muon identification system and Daya Bay cosmic Muon veto ...
The economics and gender factor in soya bean production and profitability in Kenya: a case of smallholder farms in Western Kenya
(Int. J. Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology, 2017)
Soya-bean is among world’s major crops, cultivated for its high oil, proteins content and its ability in soil-fertility amendments. The study assessed the determinants, constraints and profitability/gross-margins of soya-bean ...
Catalytic degradation of methylene blue by iron nanoparticles synthesized using Galinsoga parvifora, Conyza bonariensis and Bidens pilosa leaf extracts
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2019-09)
Green synthesized metallic nanoparticles are environmentally friendly, bio-compatible, and highly stable. The aim of this
study was to synthesize iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) from FeCl3 solution using aqueous leaf extracts ...
Phytofabrication of Iron Nanoparticles and their Catalytic Activity
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019, 2019-06-20)
Metallic nanoparticles that have photocatalytic activity can be synthesized using aqueous plant extracts. The aim of
this study was to synthesize iron nanoparticles using Lantana trifolia extracts and to evaluate their ...
Multinomial Logit Modeling of Factors Associated With Multiple Sexual Partners from the Kenya Aids Indicator Survey 2007
(American Journal of Theoretical and Applied Statistics, 2015-05)
The number of lifetime sex partners of an individual has an important effect on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) status of an individual; hence modeling multiple sexual partnerships is an essential component of any ...
Analysis of the Impact of Cross-sectional Data Discrepancies on the Effectiveness of Radiation Shielding Design Using Monte Carlo Codes
(International Journal of Physics, 2019)
The effect of cross-sectional data discrepancies on the effectiveness of radiation shielding design has
been investigated in this paper. The MCNP code with cross-sections from ENDF/B-V and ENDF/B-VII has been
used to ...
Anti-inflammatory properties of methanolic bark extracts of terminalia Brownii in wistar albino rats
(Innovare academic sciences pvt ltd., 2016-06)
Liriomyza Leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae) Parasitoid Complex in Different Agroecological Zones, Seasons, and Host Plants in Kenya
(Environmental Entomology, 2015)
Liriomyza leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) are severe pests of vegetables and ornamentals worldwide. Previous studies revealed low leafminer parasitism across different agroecological zones in Kenya. The present paper ...
