Uptake, Bioaccumulation, Partitioning of Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) in Aquatic Organisms in Contaminated Environments
(Tailor and Francis, 2023-03)
Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) are non-essential heavy metals that, though they occur naturally, they are classified as toxic pollutants when they are released especially from unnatural occurrence through human activities. ...
High seroprevalence of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals amidst vaccination roll-out in western Kenya
(PLOS ONE, 2022-12-22)
The population’s antibody response is a key factor in comprehending SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology. This is especially important in African settings where COVID-19 impact, and vaccination rates are relatively low. This study aimed ...
Simulation guided prediction of zeolites for the sorption of selected anions from water: Machine learning predictors for enhanced loading
(Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2022-06-01)
The development of highly efficient adsorbents, especially those that can harvest anions like CrO42−, AsO43−, NO3– and PO43−, is one of the principal challenges in the water treatment field. The current study utilized a ...
