Features Selection in Statistical Classification of High Dimensional Image Derived Maize (Zea Mays L.) Phenomic Data
(Science and Education Publishing, 2022)
Phenotyping has advanced with the application of high throughput phenotyping techniques such
automated imaging. This has led to derivation of large quantities of high dimensional phenotypic data that could not
have been ...
Effects of dibenzylbutyrolactone lignans arctigenin and trachelogenin on the motility of isolated rat ileum
(Elsevier, 2022)
Dibenzylbutyrolactone-type lignans are phenolic compounds of medical importance. The purpose of the study
was to determine the effects of two such lignans, arctigenin and trachelogenin on the motility of isolated rat
ileum ...
Genetic and phenotypic diversity of microsymbionts nodulating promiscuous soybeans from diferent agro-climatic conditions
(Springer Open, 2022)
Background: Global food supply is highly dependent on feld crop production that is currently severely threatened by changing climate, poor soil quality, abiotic, and biotic stresses. For instance, one of the major challenges ...
Application of Response Surface Methodology in Optimization of the Yields of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Using Animal Manures
(Science and Education Publishing, 2020-07)
The objective of design and analysis of experiments is to optimize a response variable which is
influenced by several independent variables. In agriculture, many statistical studies have focused on investigating the
effect ...
NEW METALLOCHROMIC INDICATORS FOR COMPLEXOMETRIC TITRATION OF COPPER (II) IN PRESENCE OF INTERFERING SPECIES
(Life Science Informatics Publications, 2020-09)
Six hydroxytriazenes has been introduced as a metallochromic indicator in the
complexometric titration with EDTA and applied successfully to the titration of copper (II). A direct
method of titration of Cu (II) with EDTA ...
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 ...
