Full-Length Genome Sequences of Recombinant and Nonrecombinant Sympatric Strains of Rice yellow mottle virus from Western Kenya
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017)
Five isolates of Rice yellow mottle virus from western Kenya were fully
sequenced. One isolate of strain S4lv had been collected in 1966. Two isolates belonged
to the emerging strain S4ug recently described in Uganda. ...
An intercomparison of remote sensing river discharge estimation algorithms from measurements of river height, width, and slope.
(Water Resources Research, 2016-05-13)
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission planned for launch in 2020 will map river elevations and inundated area globally for rivers >100 m wide. In advance of this launch, we here evaluated the ...
Residue levels and discharge loads of antibiotics in wastewater treatment plants ( WWTPs), hospital lagoons, and rivers within Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya.
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2016-08)
The detection of antibiotics in water systems has instigated great environmental concern due to the toxicological effects associated with these compounds. Their discharge into the environment results from the ubiquity of ...
Insights on adsorption of carbamazepine onto iron oxide modified diatomaceous earth: Kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, and mechanisms
(Environmental Research, 2020-01)
To ameliorate adsorbent recovery by an external magnetic field, naturally occurring diatomaceous earth (DE) was modified with iron-oxide, characterized and applied for adsorption of carbamazepine (CBZ) from synthetic ...
Allellopathic potential of invasive Psidium guajava L., against selected native tree species in Kakamega Tropical Forest, Western Kenya.
(IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences, 2016-05)
Studies have previously attributed P. guajava invasiveness to its aggressive regeneration and profuse seeding. This study, however verified that its allellopathic influence on native plant species also plays an important ...
