Status of Water Quality of Naka River in Meru South, Kenya.
(2012)The study was carried out for a period of two seasons (wet and dry) in a year. The physicochemical, bacteriological parameters of water and trace metals in sediment samples were evaluated at ... -
Spectrophotometric Determination of Iron(III) by New Analytical Reagents Derived from Coupling Arylhydroxylamine and Aryldiazonium Salt
(2012)A highly sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of iron(III) in aqueous solution with hydroxytriazenes. In this work, the effect of pH variation, the composition of the complex ... -
Physico-Chemical Analysis of Ground Water from Kihara Division, Kiambu County, Kenya
(2012)Water quality is an index of health and is one of the areas of major concern to environmentalists, since industrialization, urbanization and modern agricultural practices have a direct impact on the water resources. Borehole ... -
Equivalent Banach operator ideal norms’’
(2012-01)Let X, Y be Banach spaces and consider the w'-topology (the dual weak operator topology) on the space (L(X, Y) of bounded linear operators from X into X with the uniform operator norm. L w' (X, Y) is the space of all T ∈ ... -
On Similarity and Quasisimilarity equivalence relations
(2012-01)Similarity and unitary equivalence can be shown to be of equivalence relations. We discuss a result showing that two similar operators have equal spectra (i.e. point and approximate point spectrum). More ... -
Volatility Modelling of the Nairobi Securities Exchang
(2012-03)In this paper we identify the most efficient ARCH-type model that can be applied to the Nairobi stock exchange data for forecasting and prediction of volatility which in turn is important in pricing financial derivative ... -
Study of Humidity and UV wavelength effects on degradation of photo irradiated polyethylene films using DMA
(2012-03-12)Plastic bags, mostly made of polyethylene, cause pollution as solid waste due to their nondegradable nature. Accelerated degradation, as a solution to mitigate the menace, can be achieved through moisture enhanced photolysis. ... -

Gas-phase total oxidation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes using manganese oxides and copper manganese oxide catalysts.
(American Chemical Society, 2012-05-17)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) continue to be the major source of direct and indirect air pollution. Here, cryptomelane-type octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) manganese oxide, amorphous manganese oxide (AMO), and mixed ... -
Efficiency Evaluation When Modelling Nairobi Security Exchange Data Using Bilinear and Bilinear-Garch (Bl-Garch) Models
(2012-06)In this paper, the weekly returns of the Nairobi Securities Market (NSE) are modelled using bilinear models and the bilinear-GARCH models so as to determine the most efficient and adequate model for forecasting of ... -
A review of hydrofluoric acid and its use in the car wash industry
(2012-09)Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is a common ingredient in car wash cleaning solutions mainly because it is highly effective and relatively inexpensive. Particulate matter from brake pads and discs, tire wear, and abrasion of road ... -
