Investigation of the Effect Of Ce3+ Doping on The Luminescent Properties of Baal2o4:Ce3+.
(University of Embu, 2019)Discovery and invention of different luminescent material has greatly contributed to the growth of the global economy, especially the technology. Different elements especially the lanthanides have been research in terms ... -
Investigation of The Effect Of Initial Metal Ion Concentration on Chromium (Iii) Adsorption onto Thebanana Leaf Petiole as the Biosorbent
(University of Embu, 2019)There is a tremendous increasing demand for portable water due to the rising human population and urbanization and industrialization and climate change. There is no doubt that water in this county and largely the country ... -
An Investigation of the Latent Semantic Analysis Technique for Document Retrieval
(2014)Latent semantic analysis (LSA) application in information retrieval promises to offer better performance by overcoming some limitations that plagues traditional termmatching techniques. These term-matching techniques ... -
Is leaf pubescence of Cape Proteaceae a xeromorphic or radiation-protective trait?
(CSIRO Publishing, 2012-03)Although pubescence has traditionally been considered to be related to the water economy of plants, the results are ambivalent and vary between different species. We tested two contrasting hypotheses for the functional ... -
Is the World Objective?
(Scientific Research, 2014-05)The assumption of an objective world underlying all our experiences is deeply embedded in our everyday thinking and in our language, and has been an unquestioned presupposition of the scientific enterprise for at least ... -
Isolation and characterisation of bacteria from the haloalkaline Lake Elmenteita, Kenya
(Springer, 2010-04)Culture-independent studies show that soda lake environments harbour diverse groups of bacteria and archaea. In this study different enrichment and isolation media were used in an attempt to isolate novel groups of bacteria ... -
Isolation and Characterisation of Cellulose Degrading Fungi from Dead Wood Sediments at The University of Embu Forest
(University of Embu, 2019)Degradation of cellulose by fungi is a scientifically established phenomenon. This research a successful isolated five fungal isolates named OV1, OV2, OV3 and OV4 were obtained from dead decaying wood at the University ... -

Isolation and characterization of bacillus species from soil in Ngere tea catchment area of Murang’a county, Kenya
(2014-07)Bacteria are a very diverse group of organisms in soil, and major taxonomic groups are represented in most soils. The extent of the diversity of microorganisms in soil is seen to be critical to the maintenance of soil ... -
Isolation and Characterization of Bacteria from Lakes Olbolosat and Oloiden, Kenya
(Academic journals, 2020)There is still unexplored reservoir of microorganisms from sediments and water within Lakes Olbolosat and Oloiden using culture dependent technique. The current study compares bacterial diversity within Lake Olbolosat a ... -
Isolation and characterization of bacteria isolates from soil feeding termites and soil from Juja and Kakamega forest in Kenya
(2010)In the last several years information on the gut ecosystem of termites has continued to be gathered. Most studies have been focused on wood feeding termites but studies on soil feeders remain sparse owing to their difficulty ... -
