(University of Embu, 2021-09)Supply Chain Management practices are activities carried out by an organization to enhance the effectiveness of its supply chain. The practices improve organizational performance and enhance competitiveness. Milk processors ... -
Suppression of Sup35 amyloid fibril formation by group II chaperonin from Thermoplasma acidophilum
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)The Group II chaperonin from Thermoplasma acidophilum was added to the in vitro amyloid fibrillation reaction of yeast Sup35NM protein to assess its effects. By measuring the formation of Sup35NM fibrils in real time using ... -
A survey of root knot nematodes and resistance to Meloidogyne incognita in sweet potato varieties from Kenyan fields
(Elsevier, 2016-11)The root knot nematode, Meloidogyne is one of the most economically damaging plant parasitic nematode groups, and are widely distributed in Kenyan agro-ecosystems. The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of ... -
Survey of sweet potato viruses in Western Kenya and detection of cucumber mosaic virus.
(2010)Sweet potato is an important food crop worldwide, but several pests and diseases limit its production. In eastern Africa, virus-induced diseases rank second to weevils in causing yield reduction. Symptomatic sweet potato ... -
Survey on Nanotechnology
(2019-07)Nanotechnology is a field where scientific knowledge and ideas emanating from the sub-atomic, atomic and molecular levels are applied in the manufacture of new and smart materials. Nanotechnology makes use of the novel ... -
Survey on Routing in Pocket Switched Network
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-09)Pocket switched Network (PSN) is an emerging research magnet that has been attracting researchers. This paper provides an introduction to PSN and covers some of its basic features and challenges. Continuous connectivity ... -
Survival of HIV Infected Children Born to Mothers Enrolled in a PMTCT Program in a Resource Poor Setting
(Scientific Research, 2013-06)Background: Pediatric HIV is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The substantial expansion in PMTCT has generated information on rates of transmission and associated factors, but there are limited studies ... -
Susceptibility of common weeds and cultivated crops in major maize growing agroecological zones of Uganda to viruses causing maize lethal necrosis disease
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019-10-01)Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) disease is caused when maize plants become coinfected with Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and potyviruses notably Sugarcane Mosaic Virus (SCMV). Apart from maize, little is known about ... -
The Sustainability of Japan’s Government Debt: A Review
(Scientific Research, 2017-10)This paper reviews the literature on the sustainability of Japanese government debt/deficit. First, we offer an overview of the approaches and the key findings on the sustainability analysis. Second, we introduce the ... -
Sustainability of the Small-Scale Tea Processors in Kenya
(University of Embu, 2019-04)The tea industry remains vital for export earnings, employment creation and GDP growth. These processors, however, are experiencing a persistent rise in their cost of production. They have pursued sustainability initiatives ... -
Sustained Effectiveness of a Mandatory Employee Influenza Vaccination Policy at a Cancer Center
(Scientific Research, 2014-11)Objectives: Despite the well-known advantages associated with immunization, it has proven difficult to achieve high levels of influenza vaccination among Health Care Professionals (HCPs). This report describes results ... -
Synthesis And Investigation Of Properties Of Cerium Doped Calcium Oxide (Cao: Ce3+ )
(University of Embu, 2019)Over the decade’s luminescent materials have found their use mostly in production of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), where different alkaline earth has been used in production of different colors. Phosphors have been used ... -
Synthesis and Modification of Carboxylated Multi Wall Nanotubes with Atenolol
(Scientific Research, 2014-07)In this paper functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (FMWCNT) were modified using atenolol as a class of drugs that were used in cardiovascular diseases containing reactable nitrogen, which could attach chemically to ... -
Synthesis of Luminescent CdTe Nanorods on Anodized Aluminum Oxide Template and Their Utility in Divalent Heavy Metal Ion Sensing
(Scientific Research, 2014-07)A simple one-pot hydrothermal method to grow luminescent CdTe nanorods on porous anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template is described. These CdTe nanorods on the AAO template were further applied as an optical probe to ... -
Systematization of basic divergent integrals in perturbation theory and renormalization group functions
(Elsevier, 2009-02)We show that to n loop order the divergent content of a Feynman amplitude is spanned by a set of basic (logarithmically divergent) integrals I (i) log(λ2), i = 1, 2,...,n, λ being the renormalization group scale, which ... -
