(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2014-01-14)
Biochemical composition appears to be influenced by both genetic factors and plant growth conditions. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the biochemical composition of selected Ruiru 11 sibs and its relationship ...
Occurrence of Ck-1 gene conferring resistance to Coffee Berry Disease in Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 and its parental genotypes
(SCIENCEWEB PUBLISHING, 2014-03)
Abstract. Resistance to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) in Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 is known to be controlled by among others, the T (Ck-1) gene from Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre). The cultivar reportedly presents ...
Evaluation of an Antigen-Antibody “Combination” Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay For Diagnosis Of Hepatitis C Virus Infections
(2014-10)
BACKGROUND: Development of “combination” assays detecting in parallel, within a single test, Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antigens and antibodies, not only reduces the window period in HCV-infection but also costs. Reduction ...
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 ...
Assessment of Risk Predisposition to Human Papilloma Virus through Cervical Infections Screening of Women Attending an Outpatient Health Facility In Nairobi, Kenya
(IISTE, 2014)
There is limited data on comparative disposition to cervical cancer among HPV infected women in Kenya. We aimed to determine the distribution of HPV infection, cervical abnormalities and infections commonly reported on ...
Properties of blue emitting CaAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ phosphor by optimizing the amount of flux and fuel
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Long afterglow CaAl2O4:0.03Eu2+, 0.03Nd3+ phosphor was prepared by solution-combustion synthesis. The active role of boric acid (H3BO3) as a flux in enhancing the Eu2+ photoluminescence and the effect of a varied amount ...
Influence of alkaline earth metal cations; Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+ on the structural and optical properties of MAl2O4: Eu2+, Nd3+ phosphors.
(2014)
Eu2+ doped and Nd3+ co-doped MAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ (M = Ca, Sr, and Ba) phosphors were prepared by a solution-combustion method. The obtained powders were investigated in terms of their phase composition, particle morphology ...

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 ...
