Adsorption of Caffeine and Ciprofloxacin onto Pyrolitically Derived Water Hyacinth Biochar: Isothermal, Kinetic and Thermodynamic Studies
(2006-09)
In this work, the adsorptive features of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) derived biochar for sequestration of
ciprofloxacin and caffeine from aqueous solution is reported. The isothermal behaviour, adsorption kinetics, ...
Environmental impact assessment of risk associated with groundwater overdraft remediation in cone of depression, Jining, China
(Environmental Geology, 2007-03-21)
In this paper, a simple scenario and probabilistic approach is used to assess the potential groundwater risk due to proposed overdraft remedial actions in cone of depression, Jining City, China. Focusing on the concentrations ...
Groundwater overdraft vulnerability and environmental impact assessment in Arusha
(Environmental Geology, 2006-07-11)
A simple approach is proposed for identifying areas vulnerable to groundwater overdraft. The methodology utilizes GIS techniques to analyze and evaluate controlling factors in areas with little data. The proposed methodology ...
Groundwater overdraft and the impact of artificial recharge on groundwater quality in a cone of depression, Jining, China
(Water International, 2009-12-03)
Groundwater overdraft has led to cone of depression formation in Jining City, China. This paper investigates spatial groundwater overdraft severity by an index and Geographic Information System (GIS) method, and impact of ...
Prospects for Developing Odour Baits To Control Glossina fuscipes spp., the Major Vector of Human African Trypanosomiasis
(plos neglected tropical diseases, 2009-05-12)
We are attempting to develop cost-effective control methods for the important vector of sleeping sickness, Glossina fuscipes spp. Responses of the tsetse flies Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (in Kenya) and G. f. quanzensis (in ...

Farmers’ collective marketing has successfully been implemented in Western Kenya, but the potential has remained unexploited in Uganda. The project seeks to enhance marketing efficiency by improving access to credit for ...
In vitro Regeneration by Indirect Organogenesis of Selected Kenyan Maize Genotypes using Shoot Apices
(Biotechnology, 2008-09)
The study reports a reliable and reproducible regeneration system of two open pollinated varieties-OPV`s (Katumani KAT and dry land cultivar DLC1), a hybrid (DH01) and an inbred line (TL08) using shoot apices as explants ...
Environmental impact assessment using FORM and groundwater system reliability concept
(Environmental Geology, 2007-09-20)
In this paper, fist-order reliability method (FORM) is used to evaluate the impacts of uncertainties posed by traditional deterministic models on the environment in Jining, China. Because of groundwater contamination in ...
