Water quality status of a stream receiving fish pond discharge using physicochemical indicators in lake Victoria catchment, Kenya
(international Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Studies, 2019-10-10)
This study assessed the water quality of a stream receiving discharge from Tilapia and catfish fish ponds using some physicochemical parameters as key indicators. Measurements were done both in the field and in the laboratory ...
Assessing Capacity and Performance of Health Systems Using Principal Component Analysis: Results from Cross Sectional Survey in Kakamega County, Western Kenya
(Journal of Health, Medicine and Nursing, 2019-02)
Background: Strong health systems are fundamental if countries are to improve health outcomes and accelerate
the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) number 3 ‘Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing ...
Cyclooxygenase-2 haplotypes influence the longitudinal risk of malaria and severe malarial anemia in Kenyan children from a holoendemic transmission region.
(Journal of Human Genetics, 2019-10-29)
Cyclooxygenase-2 [(COX-2) or prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 synthase-2 (PTGS-2)] induces the production of prostaglandins as part of the host-immune response to infections. Although a number of studies have demonstrated the ...
Managing the invasion of guava trees to enhance carbon storage in tropical forests
(Science Direct, 2019-01-15)
Tropical forests account for a substantial percentage of the world’s carbon stocks, but the consequences to carbon storage of the rapid invasiveness of the guava tree in these forests is not known. Two different forest ...
Density Dependent Delayed Migration for Rosenzweig-Macaurther Model with Holling Type II Predator Functional Response
(Asian Research Journal of Mathematics, 2019-10-28)
The model describing the interaction between the predator and prey species is referred to as a predator-prey model. The migration of these species from one patch to another may not be instantaneous. This may be due to ...
Draft Genome Sequences of Two Staphylococcus warneri Clinical Isolates, Strains SMA0023-04 (UGA3) and SMA0670-05 (UGA28), from Siaya County Referral Hospital, Siaya, Kenya.
(ASM Journals, 2019-04-11)
We report the complete draft genome sequences of two Staphylococcus warneri clinical isolates, strains SMA0023-04 (UGA3) and SMA0670-05 (UGA28), each of which contains one chromosome and at least one plasmid. Isolate ...
RNA sequence analysis of diseased groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) reveals the full genome of groundnut rosette assistor virus (GRAV)
(Virus Research, 2019-12-10)
The complete genome sequences for two variant isolates of groundnut rosette assistor virus (GRAV) have been determined from symptomatic groundnut plants in western Kenya. The sequences of the two GRAV isolates (sc7.1 and ...
Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Levels of Heavy Metals in Water, Sediments and Fish in Sosiani River
(International Journal of Environmental Bioremediation & Biodegradation, 2019-10-09)
The objective of the study was to examine spatial and temporal levels of heavy metals in water,
sediments and fish in Sosiani River. This study was an experimental design approach in which a scientific analysis
was done ...
Evaluating flood extent mapping of two hydraulic models, 1D HEC-RAS and 2D LISFLOOD-FP in comparison with aerial imagery observations in Gorgan flood plain, Iran
(Natural Resource Modeling, 2019-02-20)
We compared flood mapping techniques using a one-dimensional (1D) hydraulic model HEC-RAS and two-dimensional (2D) LISFLOOD-FP for a 10-km reach of Gorgan River in Iran. Both models were run using the same hydrologic input ...
Genome Sequences of a Staphylococcus aureus Clinical Isolate, Strain SMA0034-04 (UGA22), from Siaya County Referral Hospital in Siaya, Kenya
(ASM Journals, 2019-04-25)
Here, we report the genome sequences of a Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolate, strain SMA0034-04 (UGA22), which contains one chromosome and one plasmid. We also reveal that isolate SMA0034-04 (UGA22) contains loci in ...
