Stocking Density Induced Stress on Plasma Cortisol and Whole Blood Glucose Concentration in Nile Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) of Lake Victoria, Kenya
(International Journal of Zoology, 2020-07-17)
Effects of high stocking densities (HSDs) were evaluated for Nile tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) under culture to determine its influence on plasma cortisol and whole blood glucose concentration. Plasma cortisol ...
Status of Micro-Hydrokinetic River Technology Turbines Application for Rural Electrification in Africa
(MDPI-Energies, 2022-11-28)
Energy accessibility, reliability and availability are key components of improved quality of life and human development in all spheres. As the United Nations’ SDG 7 calls for access to electricity for all by 2030, Africa ...
Mostar Index of Cycle-Related Structures
(Journal of Chemistry, 2022-03-07)
A topological index is a numerical quantity associated with the molecular structure of a chemical compound. This number remains fixed with respect to the symmetry of a molecular graph. Diverse research studies have shown ...
On A Class of Idealized Near-Rings Admitting Frobenius Derivations.
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020-07-15)
In this paper, we use the idealization procedure for finite rings to construct a class of quasi-3 prime Near-Rings N with a Jordan ideal J(N) and admitting a Frobenius derivation. The structural characterization of N; J(N) ...
Metagenomic Profiles of Bacterial communities and environmental factors associated with proliferation of malaria vector mosquitoes within the Kenyan Coast
(Microbiology Society, 2023-04-12)
Background: Anopheles mosquitoes are the main malaria vector and as malaria cases decline in Sub Saharan Africa, there is a growing realisation that new interventions need to be added to complement the existing control ...

(African Journal of Educational and Social Science Research (The), 2022-10-31)
The theory of human capital postulates an increase in earnings at different levels of educational qualifications. However, there are mixed findings and interpretations on return to investment in education around the world. ...
Polymorphisms in the Fc Gamma Receptor IIIA and Toll-Like Receptor 9 Are Associated with Protection against Severe Malarial Anemia and Changes in Circulating Gamma Interferon Levels
(ASM Journals, 2012-11-12)
An understanding of the immunogenetic basis of naturally acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum infection would aid in the designing of a rationally based malaria vaccine. Variants within the Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) ...
Nonsynonymous amino acid changes in the α-chain of complement component 5 influence longitudinal susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum infections and severe malarial anemia in kenyan children
(Frontier in genetics, 2022-08-14)
Background: Severe malarial anemia (SMA; Hb < 5.0 g/dl) is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission regions such as western Kenya.
Methods: We investigated ...
