Effect of Different Fermentation Methods on Physicochemical Composition and Sensory Quality of Coffee (Coffea arabica)
(IOSR Journals, 2017-06)
Fermentation of coffee beans is primarily done to remove mucilage and can be done using two methods; dry and wet fermentation methods. This research aimed at determining the effect of different fermentation methods on ...
Evaluation of Warburgia ugandensis Extracts and Compounds for Crop Protection against Prostephanus truncates
(2020-11)
Insect pests cause a significant loss of maize production in Africa. Maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motchulsky) and the larger grain borer (Prostephanus truncatus Horn) are the most destructive insect pests of maize. ...
Effectiveness of community health workers in improving early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding rates in a low-resource setting: A cluster-randomized longitudinal study
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2020-04)
Little evidence exists in Kenya on the potential of community health workers (CHWs) in promoting exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and early breastfeeding initiation (EBI) in resource‐restricted settings where very low EBF ...
Monitoring Claim Processing Duration Using Statistical Quality Control
(2019-04)
Statistical quality control is an important tool used widely at service provision fields to monitor the overall operation. The significant application of the SPC analysis elements to the operation will make the process ...
Antiplasmodial activity, in vivo pharmacokinetics and anti-malarial efficacy evaluation of hydroxypyridinone..
(2015)
Background: During the erythrocytic stage in humans, malaria parasites digest haemoglobin of the host cell, and the toxic haem moiety crystallizes into haemozoin. Chloroquine acts by forming toxic complexes with haem ...
Some Antibacterial and Antifungal Compounds from Root Bark of Rhus natalensis
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2019-09)
Phytochemical studies on Rhus natalensis root bark collected from Iten, Kenya led to isolation and characterization of five compounds namely epicatechin (1), 3-sitosterol (2), 3-sitosterol glucoside (3),stigmasterol (4) ...
Effect of Grashof Parameter on Velocity for Unsteady Fluid Flow Past an Infinite Vertical Porous Flat Plate
(2015)
Natural convection of an incompressible fluid flow past an infinite vertical flat plate with constant suction velocity is investigated. In this work, we investigate the effect of Grashof parameter on velocity profiles. ...
Analytic solution of a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation
(2016)
We study a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation
whose nonlinearity is as a result of a feedback effect. This is an illiquid mar-
ket effect arising from transaction costs. An analytic solution to the ...
Synthesis, Antiplasmodial Activity, and β‑Hematin Inhibition of Hydroxypyridone−Chloroquine Hybrids
(American Chemical Society, 2013)
A series of noncytotoxic 4-aminoquinoline-3-hydroxypyridin-
4-one hybrids were synthesized on the basis of a synergistic in vitro
combination of a precursor N-alkyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one with chloroquine
(CQ) and tested ...
