Physicochemical Proprieties of Pond Water in the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) Fish Ponds in Tharaka-Nithi County, Kenya
(International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research and Innovations, 2020)
In an effort to attain food security, Kenya has embraced aquaculture as one of its strategies. From 2009,
the Government established thousands of fish ponds through the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP). TharakaNithi ...
Surface potential, fermi level and band gap energy of copper doped magnesium nickel ferrite nanoparticles
(Sami Publishing Compan, 2020)
Optical, electrical, and electronic properties of materials are essential in the
fabrication of electronic devices. These properties can be improved through
doping and reduction of the size of a material to nanoscale. ...
Optical and scanning kelvin probe microscopic characterization of sol-gel synthesized aluminum doped zinc cobalt ferrite nanoparticles
(academic Journals, 2020)
In this work, Zn1-xCoFe2AlxO4 (x=0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) ferrites were synthesized using the sol-gel
method. XRD analysis was done and confirmed the formation of spinel structure, where the particle size
and lattice ...
Synergistic Evaluation of Selected Plant Extracts on Potency of Pyrethrins against the Maize Weevil, Sitophilus zea-mais (MOTSCH.)
(Merit Res. J. Agric. Sci. Soil Sci., 2020)
The interest in utilization of botanical insecticides, particularly essential oils have become increasingly relevant in the control of insect pests. Many plant products and their bioactive compounds with repellent, antifeeding ...
Screening of Plant Extracts Possessing Methylenedioxyphenyl (MDP) Group as Potential Synergists in Insecticide Formulations using the Maize Weevil, Sitophilus Zea-mais (Motsch.)
(Merit Research Journals, 2020)
Synergists are compounds that are either negligibly toxic or non-toxic to insects when applied on their own, but enhance the efficacy of an insecticide. Many insects are able to detoxify insecticide molecules and survive ...
Characterization of rice husk ash prepared by open air burning and furnace calcination
(Academic Journals, 2020)
Rice husk (RH) is an agricultural waste, and easily available in rice growing areas. The husk is mostly
burnt as a way of getting rid of it. The ash obtained after burning or calcination may have economic
application, ...
Generating, Rectifying and Stepping Up the Voltage Output of Piezoelectric Plate
(International Journal of Research Publications, 2020)
Energy is required in all sectors that either supports or improves human life. However, some of the methods of power generation e.g.
the fossils fuels are non-renewable and have byproducts that harms the environment. For ...
Spectrophotometric Determination Of Copper (Ii) In Soil From Ahero Rice Irrigation Schemes Using Hydroxytriazene
(IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry, 2020)
A simple, rapid, sensitive and cost effective spectrophotometric technique for the determination of copper (II)
using 3-hydroxy-3-m-tolyl-1-O-carboxyphenyltriazene has been reported. The complex formed was greenishyellow ...

EFFECT OF COOKING METHODS AND DURATION ON ASCORBIC ACID CONCENTRATION OF SELECTED VEGETABLES
(RJLBPCS, 2020-12-01)
Cooking vegetables before they are consumed helps in making them more palatable
in addition to improving taste and texture. On the other hand, cooking causes a substantial change
in the composition of chemicals thus ...
