PREVALENCE AND KNOWLEDGE OF CONTACT LENS UPTAKE IN KENYA: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
(European Journal of public health studies, 2022-12)
Background: The use of contact lenses is welcomed for refractive error correction, for therapeutic/diagnostic reasons and for cosmetic reasons, more so in developed countries, unlike in third world countries like Kenya. ...
Accurate Ab-initio calculation of elastic constants of anisotropic binary alloys: A case of Fe–Al
(Solid State Communications, 2022-09-15)
The final formed phases of alloys are functions of the chemical compositions of the mixture. The overall mechanical moduli of the alloy are also functions of the phases present. Most of the previous computed elastic constants ...
Effect of antimony concentration on optical, electrical and structural properties of copper antimony sulphide thin films deposited by spray pyrolysis technique
(Iranian Journal of Physics Research, 2022-09)
Copper antimony sulphide (CuSbS2) is a semiconductor with narrow band gap and a potential absorber material for applications in various optoelectronic devices like infrared detectors and solar cells. In this paper, CuSbS2 ...
DETERMINATION OF IRRIGATION WATER REQUIREMENT OF TOMATO CROP IN RACHUONYO NORTH SUB CATCHMENT OF WESTERN KENYA USING CROPWAT MODEL
(East African Agricultural and Forestry Journal, 2022-08-26)
Irrigation water management is necessary for a successful irrigation system. Knowledge and tools on irrigation management is thus a requisite for profitable and sustainable use of the scarce water resources in Kenya. The ...
Vital relations in the metaphors of Covid-19 in Lukabaras
(Journal of contemporary research, 2022-09-28)
Since the emergence of Covid-19 pandemic in late 2019, the metaphorical framing of this respiratory disease also known as the Corona Virus, has been manifested variedly in different social contexts and discourses. The ...
Synthesis, Characterization, and Evaluation of the Remediation Activity of Cissus quadrangularis Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle-Activated Carbon Composite on Dieldrin in Aqueous Solution
(Journal of Nanotechnology, 2022-04-21)
In this study, zinc oxide-activated carbon nanocomposite was used as the adsorbent for the remediation of dieldrin in aqueous media. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZNPs) were synthesized from Cissus quadrangularis (C. quadrangularis) ...
Synthesis of mesoporous akaganeite functionalized maize cob biochar for adsorptive abatement of carbamazepine: Kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics
(Cleaner Materials, 2022-07-17)
In this work, akaganeite (β-FeO(OH)) impregnated maize cob biochar (Fe-MCB) was prepared by direct hydrolysis, and its adsorptive potential was tested against aqueous solutions of carbamazepine (CBZ), an emerging contaminant. ...
Teacher Education Students’ Pedagogical Content Knowledge: Retooling the Mentorship Process Within Schools of Education in Kenya
(African Journal of Teacher Education, 2022-06-30)
The impact of globalization has brought changes to education which requires teachers to demonstrate practical pedagogical wisdom in critical features of teaching, namely: the subject matter being taught, the classroom ...
The Cell Membrane of a Novel Rhizobium phaseoli Strain Is the Crucial Target for Aluminium Toxicity and Tolerance
(CELL, 2022-03-03)
Soils with low pH and high aluminium (Al) contamination restrict common bean production, mainly due to adverse effects on rhizobia. We isolated a novel rhizobium strain, B3, from Kenyan soil which is more tolerant to Al ...
High-performance liquid chromatography local reference ranges of hemoglobin fractions (HbA, HbA2, and HbF) in detection of hemoglobinopathies in western Kenya
(The Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2022-12-29)
Background
Western Kenya, being a malaria-endemic region, has a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathies mostly sickle cell and thalassemia. The hemoglobin fractions or variants, HbA, HbA2, and HbF, serve as biomarkers for ...
