Physicochemical and Antimicrobial Properties of Post-Synthesis Betanin and Chitosan Oligosaccharide functionalized Silver Nanoparticles
(Springer, 2020)
Size uniformity and defined surface coating are important parameters for the biological properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Green synthesis uses biomolecules either in pure form or plant extracts as both reductants ...
Broad diversity of simian immunodeficiency virus infecting Chlorocebus species (African green monkey) and evidence of cross-species infection in Papio anubis (olive baboon) in Kenya
(Wiley, 2020)
Background: Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) naturally infects African non-human primates (NHPs) and poses a threat of transmission to humans through hunting and consumption of monkeys as bushmeat. This study investigated ...
Monetary Value of Disability-Adjusted Life Years and Potential Productivity Losses Associated With Neglected Tropical Diseases in the East African Community
(Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine, 2023)
Introduction: In 2019, the East African Community (EAC) lost 12,048,918 disability-adjusted life-years (DALY) across all ages from neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The specific objectives of the study reported in the ...
The Incompatibility between Euclidean Geometry and the Algebraic Solutions of Geometric Problems
(European Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2023)
The transition from the “early-modern” mathematical and scientific norms of establishing conventional Euclidean geometric proofs has experienced quite mixed modes of reasoning. For instance, a careful investigation based ...
Evaluation of physico-chemical properties of expansive soils stabilized by limestone calcined clay cement
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)
Expansive soil covers a big portion of the world's land area. It is one of the main contributors to cracks in structures such as buildings, roads, and pavements among others. Soil stabilization is aimed at reducing plasticity, ...
Accessibility and utilization of information resources in the post COVID-19 era: A case of selected university libraries in Kenya
(KLISC Journal of Information Science and Knowledge Management, 2023)
University libraries play a pivotal role in fostering teaching, research, and innovation by offering essential information resources. However, patrons often encounter challenges in using these resources. The research aimed ...
Effects of ferulic acid on the polymerization behavior of gluten protein and its components
(Elsevier, 2023)
The effects of ferulic acid (FA) at different concentrations on the aggregation behaviors of gluten and its components (gliadin and glutenin) were determined in this study. Results showed that the free sulfhydryl content ...
Camel milk products beyond yoghurt and fresh milk: challenges, processing and applications
(Springer India, 2023-01-09)
Camel (Camelus dromedarius and (Camelus bactrianus) are commonly domesticated in the arid and semi-arid regions because they are well adapted to live in harsh climatic conditions. Camel milk is widely consumed in these ...
Deep Learning Incorporated Bu¨hlmann Credibility in the Modified Lee–Carter Mortality Model
(Hindawi, 2023-03)
This research study proposes the inclusion of randomness or an error term in the modified Lee–Carter model, which improves the traditional Lee–Carter model for modeling and forecasting mortality risk for years in the ...
Classification of Stateless People through a Robust Nonparametric Kernel Discriminant Function
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2022-10-11)
Statelessness is the absence of any Nationality. These include the Pemba, Shona, Galjeel, people of Burundi and Rwanda descent, and children born in Kenya to British Overseas Citizens after 1983. Frequently, they are not ...
