Health Effects of Pesticide Exposure among Formulators, Repackers and Store Workers in Nairobi, Kenya
(Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2017-12)
Though it is widely believed that adverse health effects occur among farm workers who handle pesticides, few studies have been done to quantify the extent to which pesticide formulators, re-packers and store workers are ...
Effect of Light and Temperature through Poly Film Covers on Anthocyanin Content in Rose Cut Flowers
(International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2017)
Quality is the most important attribute in rose cut flowers for both export and domestic market.
Quality in cut flowers may be defined by many attributes however, among the most important is
colour. A group of pigments ...
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 ...
Investigation on decolorization of biologically pretreated cellulosic ethanol wastewater by electrochemical method
(Elsevier, 2017-04-25)
The biologically pretreated cellulosic ethanol wastewater poses a serious environmental concern because
of its refractory and color compounds. The decolorization of electrochemical oxidation using Sb doped Ti/
SnO2 ...
Simultaneous algae-polluted water treatment and electricity generation using a biocathode-coupled electrocoagulation cell (bio-ECC)
(Elsevier, 2017-06-21)
How to utilize electrocoagulation (EC) technology for algae-polluted water treatment in an
energy-efficient manner remains a critical challenge for its widespread application. Herein, a
novel biocathode-coupled ...
Hematite and multi-walled carbon nanotubes stimulate a faster syntrophic pathway during methanogenic beet sugar industrial wastewater degradation
(2017-09-22)
The quest to understand and subsequently improve the role played by bacteria and archaea in the degradation of organic matter
both in natural and engineered anaerobic ecosystems has intensified the utilization of ...
