Effects of physico-chemical parameters on abundance and biomass of phytoplankton in chebara reservoir-Kenya
(2017-04)
River impoundment creates reservoirs of varying sizes that supply water for multiple uses including electric power generation, domestic, agriculture or industry. However, damming of rivers creates an aquatic habitat of ...
Spatial and temporal variation in community structure of phytoplankton in chebara reservoir-Kenya
(International Journal of Advanced Research in Management and Social Sciences, 2017-04)
River impoundments create reservoirs for many of varying, sizes which serve one or more functions, and change transform lotic aquatic systems to lentic ones, with changes in physical and chemical properties, biotic assemblage ...
Determination of Some Selected Heavy Metals in Fish and Water Samples from a Section of Migori River
(Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2017)
Samples of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were collected from a section of Migori River. The moisture content of freeze-dried body of the fish collected from four sites ranged ...
A Comparative Assessment Of Taro{Colocasia Esculenta L. (Schott)} Phenotypic Corms/Cormels Characteristics Among Kenya And Tarogen Core Taro Collections For Taro Crop Improvement And Breeding
(International Journal of Innovative Research and Advanced Studies (IJIRAS), 2017)
Determination of qualitative phenotypic taro cormels characters were scored based on the key International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) descriptors for taro (IPGRI, 1999). Twenty five taro germplasm each from ...
Determination of Appropriate Mix Proportions for the Kenyan Blended Portland Cement Concrete Production
(American Scientific Research Journal for Engineering, Technology, and Sciences (ASRJETS, 2017)
The Kenya’s vision 2030 seeks to address the rising needs of its population through infrastructure development. Reinforced concrete being the most commonly used construction material forms an integral part of this development ...

The occurrence and spread of the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms), in the Winam gulf has created numerous attributes to the human population that live around the lake, thereby making its control a priority. ...
Malnutrition and cachexia among cancer out-patients in Nairobi, Kenya
(JOURNAL OF NUTRITIONAL SCIENCE, 2017)
Cancer is the third leading cause of death in Kenya. However, there is scarce information on the nutritional status of cancer patients to guide in decision making. The present study sought to assess the risk of malnutrition, ...
A combined microbial desalination cell and electrodialysis system for copper-containing wastewater treatment and high-salinity-water desalination
(Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2017)
A new concept for heavy metal removal by forming hydroxide precipitation using alkalinity produced by
microbial desalination cell (MDC) was proposed. Four five-chamber MDCs were hydraulically connected
to concurrently ...
Performance of CSTR–EGSB–SBR system for treating sulfate-rich cellulosic ethanol wastewater and microbial community analysis
(2017)
Performance and microbial community composition
were evaluated in a two-phase anaerobic and aerobic system
treating sulfate-rich cellulosic ethanol wastewater (CEW). The
system was operated at five different chemical ...
