Antimicrobial Activity of Warbugia Ugandensis against Gramnegative Multi‐Drug resistant Bacteria
(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, 2014)The rise in antibiotic resistance has resulted in decreasing numbers of effective antimicrobial agents available to treat infections caused by multi‐drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. This has necessitated a search for new ... -

Antiplamodial Activity of some Kenyan medicinal plant extracts singly and in combination with Chloroquine
(2004)Sixty organic and aqueous extracts of eleven plants used for the control of malaria by local communities in Kisii District, Kenya were screened for in vitro anti-plasmodial activity. The plants selection was based on ... -
Aperture Maximization with Half-Wavelength Spacing, via a 2-Circle Concentric Array Geometry that is Uniform but Sparse
(2019-05)This paper proposes a new sensor-array geometry (the 2-circle concentric array geometry), that maximizes the array's spatial aperture mainly for bivariate azimuth-polar resolution of direction-of-arrival estimation ... -

Application of Marks to Computation of Ranks and Subdegrees of the Symmetric Group Acting on Ordered 4-Element and 5- Element Subsets
(UoEm, 2015)Ranks and subdegrees can be computed using combinatorial arguments, the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma and use of the concept of marks. However the concept of Marks has been given very little attention. In this paper we will apply ... -
Application of Marks to Computation of Ranks and Subdegrees of the Symmetric Group Acting on Ordered Pairs and on Ordered Triples
(Uoem, 2014)Ranks and subdegrees can be computed using combinatorial arguments, the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma and use of the concept of marks. However the concept of Marks has been given very little attention. In this paper we will apply ... -
Application Of Multiple Circular-Linear Regression Models To Animal Movement Data With Covariates
(2016-04)In a many biological and physical sciences studies, a set of techniques have been developed to analyse the relationship between the circular and linear data derived from the geographical positioning system (GPS) telemetry ... -
Approaches for Testing Uniformity Hypothesis in Angular Data of Mega-Herbivores
(2016-03)Circularstatistics is an area not used verymuch by ecologists to describe animal movement patterns.Nevertheless,the connection betweenthe evaluation of temporalrecurring events and theanalysis of directional data haveconverged ... -
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Colonization in the Rhizosphere of Aspilia pruliseta Schweif. ext Schweif in the Semiarid Eastern Kenya
(Sage, 2020-09)The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to enhance soil phosphate uptake is a biological technique considered to cure phosphate deficiency in soils. This study investigated association of Aspilia pruliseta Schweif ... -
Archaeal Diversity in the Haloalkaline Lake Elmenteita in Kenya
(Springer-Verlag, 2009-10-06)A non-culture approach was used to study the archaeal diversity in Lake Elmenteita, Kenya. Five different sampling points were selected randomly within the lake. Wet sediments and water samples were collected from each ... -
