A New Sterol Diglycoside from Conyza floribunda
(The South African Journal of Chemistry, 2009)Chemical investigation of CH2Cl2 and MeOH extracts of Conyza floribunda have led to the isolation of (24S)-ethylcholesta-5, 22E, 25-trien-3-O-glucosyl (1” 4’)-rhamnoside (1), (24S)-ethylcholesta-5,25-dien-3-O- -glucoside ... -
Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes Synthesised by Pyrolysis of (4-{[(Pyridine-4-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl)ferrocene
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-08-13)Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) were synthesized by pyrolysis of (4-{[(pyridine-4-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl) ferrocene in a solution of either acetonitrile or toluene as carbon source. This was achieved by testing ... -
Nutrition knowledge, attitudes and practices among healthcare workers in management of chronic kidney diseases in selected hospitals in Dar es Salaam,Tanzania; a cross-sectional study
(Munuo et al., 2016)Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem. All health care professionals need to be knowledgeable and competent in nutrition as it applies to health promotion, prevention and treatment of ... -
NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION OF THE PUMPKIN (Cucurbita spp.) SEED CULTIVATED FROM SELECTED REGIONS IN KENYA
(2013)Cucurbita is one of the underutilized crops and its existence in Kenya is presently threatened due to neglect. The pumpkin is a rich source of nutrients and has medicinal properties. However, owing to the perception that ... -
Nutritional evaluation of Kenya alpine dairy goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) milk: Effect of geographical location vs. feeding practices
(2016-07)This study used a randomized complete block design to assess milk nutritional and chemical composition, with each region treated as a block. Ten pedigree dairy goats were identified in each region, where randomization was ... -
Nutritional Evaluation of Some Kenyan Pumpkins (Cucurbita spp.)
(2014)The nutritional potential of thirteen varieties of Cucurbita fruits collected from selected regions of Kenya were evaluated for their proximate values, mineral and β-carotene content. The results indicated that the moisture ... -
Nutritional quality and physicochemical properties of Mucuna bean (Mucuna pruriens L.) protein isolates
(2010)The potential for mucuna bean protein isolate (MBPI) application as functional ingredient in foods is unknown. In this study nutritional quality and physicochemical properties of MBPI were investigated. Bean samples were ... -
NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF ADULT MALE ON ART AT KERICHO DISTRICT HOSPITAL, KERICHO COUNTY, KENYA
(2016-08)Background: Nutrition and HIV are strongly related and any immune impairment as a result of HIV leads to malnutrition while malnutrition leads to immune impairment and thus worsens the effect of HIV. Individuals living ... -
The nutritional status of pulmonary tuberculosis patients aged 25-44 years attending tuberculosis clinic at Lodwar County and Referral Hospital, Turkana County, Kenya
(2017-01)Kenya is ranked thirteenth of the twenty two high-burden tuberculosis countries in the world and fifth highest in Africa. The majority of the people affected by TB in Turkana Central District were aged 25 - 44 years, with ... -
Nutritional vulnerability of older persons living in urban areas of Lake Victoria Basin in East Africa: a cross sectional survey.
(Journal of Nutrition in Gerentology and Geriatrics, 2012)The aim of this study was to (1) determine the prevalence of malnutrition and (2) investigate factors affecting nutritional status of older persons living in urban areas of Lake Victoria Basin. The prevalence of underweight ... -
On Singular Cauchy Problem of Euler-Poisson- Darboux Equation
(2016)We solve the singular Cauchy problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation. The Riemann function, a solution corresponding to the adjoint equation is calculated and it enables us to evaluate any solution at a point by the ... -
Optimization of Germination Conditions Of Melia volkensii By Response Surface Methodology
(2016-09)Germination of Melia volkensii was modelled using response surface methodology (rsm) whereby second order models were developed and the associated response surfaces analyzed. The factors under investigation were soil pH, ... -
Optimization of Split-Plot Design in the Context of Mixture Process Variable Settings
(2021-04)In the presence of process variables, a mixture design has become well-known in statistical modeling due to its utility in modeling the blending surface, which empirically predicts any mixture's response and serves as the ... -
Organic Solar Cells with Boron- or Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes in the P3HT : PCBM Photoactive Layer
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015-12-02)Either boron- or nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (B- or N-CNTs) were incorporated in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells photoactive layer composed of poly(3 hexylthiophene) (P3HT) : (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ... -
A particular 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 transaction costs that lead to market illiq- uidity. After reducing the equation into a nonlinear parabolic porous ... -
