Modeling the Impact of Soil Porosity on Nitrate Leaching to Groundwater Using the Advection Dispersion Equation
(2019-04)
Nitrogen is a vital nutrient that enhances plant growth which has motivated the intensive use of nitrogen-based fertilizers to boost crop productivity. However, Pollution by nitrate is a globally growing ...
Synthesis, characterization and applications of transition metal-doped manganese oxide catalysts.
(2019)
Manganese oxide octahedral molecular sieves exhibit good conductivity, tunable redox properties, high porosity and excellent thermal stability. Thus, these materials have several potential applications as cathodic materials ...
Application on soil Dehydrogenase activity on Sugarcane Cultivated Soils in Nzoia Sugarcane PlantationsFoot-care influence on foot ulcer development among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending clinics in Embu.
(2019)
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has become a global epidemic of 21st century with disproportionately high socioeconomic burden in the developing world. The prevalence of T2DM continues to rise resulting in significant ...
Effector gene vap1based DGGE fingerprinting to assess variation within and among Globodera species and populations.
(2019-11-12)
Population-level genetic tools to study the epidemiology of potato cyst nematodes (PCN) are needed to evaluate their adaptive potential and validate management strategies. The effector gene vap1 is essential in early ...
Reproduction and life history traits of a resistance breaking Globodera pallida population
(Society of Nematologists, 2019-12-05)
The main and most efficient measure to control potato cyst nematode (PCN) is the use of resistant cultivars. German and Dutch National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) recently reported the emergence of Globodera ...
Reproduction of Globodera pallida on tissue culture-derived potato plants and their potential use in resistance screening process.
(2019-06-17)
Globodera pallida infestation on potato is responsible for huge yield losses globally. Screening of potato germplasm for resistance to the nematode at the early stages of a breeding programme can significantly enhance ...
Shell-ferromagnetism and decomposition in off-stoichiometric Ni50Mn50–xSbx Heuslers
(AIP Publishing, 2019-01-28)
Off stoichiometric Heuslers in the form Ni50Mn50−xZx, where Z can be a group 13–15 element of the periodic system, decompose at about 650 K into a ferromagnetic full Heusler Ni50Mn25Z25 and an antiferromagnetic Ni50Mn50 ...
Complexometric determination on Nickel (ii) in its synthetic alloys using selected Hydroxytriazene as metallochromic indicator
(2019)
A simple, rapid and reasonable selective Complexometric technique for nickel (II) determination using some selected hydroxytriazene as a metallochromic indicator is reported in the present study. The colour change at the ...
Indigenous knowledge and applications of clay among rural communities in western Kenya
(2019-01)
A survey was conducted in Western Kenya involving 281 respondents to ascertain the clay applications and its health effects on human beings. Household survey, focus group discussions and direct observation were ...
Rapid,Economical and selective Compexometric Determination of Iron (III) in its synthetic alloys using 3 hydroxy-3 phynyl-1-(2,4,6-tribromophynyl)
(2019-09)
The present study describes a simple, selective, rapid and economical method for the determination of iron (III) in its synthetic alloys using 3-hydroxy -3- phenyl-1- (2,4,6- tribromophenyl) triazene as metallochromic ...
