Cellular pathways involved in silica nanoparticles induced apoptosis: A systematic review of in vitro studies.
(Elsevier, 2017-12)
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been found to pass through biological barriers and get distributed in the human body. They induce cell apoptosis via various mechanisms in body organs. To understand these mechanisms, we ...
A uniform circular array of isotropic sensors that stochastically dislocate in three dimensions—The hybrid Cramer-Rao bound of direction-of-arrival estimation
(Acoustical Society of America, 2019-07)
An array’s constituent sensors could be spatially dislocated from their nominal positions. This
paper investigates how such sensor dislocation would degrade a uniform circular array (UCA) of
isotropic sensors (like ...
Influence of Starkeya novella on Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Cement Mortars
(Hindawi, 2020-04)
Cement-based materials are subject to degradation during their service life. Most of the structural failures have been associated with corrosion of the rebar due to chloride ingress, alkali aggregate reaction, and/or sulfate ...
Effect of time of Azolla incorporation and inorganic fertilizer application on growth and yield of Basmati rice
(Academic Journals, 2020-03)
Azolla tissue contains 5% N, which is slowly released into the soil upon decomposition. Timing of
incorporation is therefore important for maximum benefit to a crop. The effect of time to incorporate
Azolla biomass on ...
Medical Device Integration with Electronic Health Records: A Case Study of University of Nairobi Health Services, Kenya
(2020-06)
In this study, we describe a demonstration in which available electronic medical records system (EMR) was
successfully integrated with a wireless blood pressure monitor (BPM). This was implemented by adopting the
use of ...
Azolla Fern in Mwea Irrigation Scheme and Its Potential Nitrogen Contribution in Paddy Rice Production
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2019-11)
Azolla fern is invasive in Mwea Irrigation Scheme in Kenya and its management in paddy rice fields is a
challenge to farmers. A survey was undertaken to establish farmer’s knowledge and potential nitrogen
contribution ...
Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Azolla Accessions in Kenya
(Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2020-05)
Background. Azolla Lam., a mosquito fern, is invasive in major rice growing Schemes in Kenya, where it clogs
irrigation canals and forms dense mats in paddy fields. However, the species of Azolla has not been established. ...
Hybrid Cram er-Rao bound of direction finding, using a triad of cardioid sensors that are perpendicularly oriented and spatially collocated
(Acoustical Society of America, 2019-07)
Cardioid microphones/hydrophones are highly directional acoustical sensors, which enjoy easy
availability via numerous commercial vendors for professional use. Collocating three such cardioids
in orthogonal orientation ...
Socio-Demographic Factors And Knowledge Influencing Associated With ORS Use For Diarrhoea In Children At Miathene Sublocation, Meru County, Kenya
(2020-05)
Oral rehydration solution is the gold standard treatment option in childhood diarrhoea though there are
other practices like use of rice water, water sugar mixtures, continuous breast feeding for under six months ...
Cramer-Rao Bound of Direction Finding Using Uniform Arc Arrays
(2019)
Direction-of-Arrival estimation accuracy using arc array geometry is considered in this paper.
There is a scanty use of Uniform Arc Array (UAA) in conjunction with Cram er-Rao bound (CRB)
for Direction-of-Arrival estimation. ...
