Isolation And Testing The Cholesterol Reduction Ability (In-Vitro) Of Lactococcus Lactis From Fermented Smooth Pigweed (Amaranthus Hybridus) Leaves
(Bioline International, 2011)
Probiotics are live microbial feed supplements, which positively affect the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance. Studies have shown probiotic activities of Lactococci isolated from dairy foods, which ...
Lake Naivasha, Kenya: Ecology, Society and Future
(Freshwater Biological Association, 2011)
We examine the degradation of the natural capital and ecosystem services of an important tropical lake, Kenya’s Lake Naivasha, in the context of human activities and exploitation since the mid-20th century. These factors ...
Genetic and morphological analyses indicate high population mixing in the endangered cichlid Alcolapia flock of East Africa
(2013)
Alcolapia is a minor genus of small-bodied, polymorphic cichlids inhabiting the lagoons and hot springs surrounding the soda lakes Natron (largely in Tanzania) and Magadi (Kenya). Three Alcolapia species are present at ...
Effects of the direction of a transverse magnetic field on unsteady MHD Couette flow with suction and injection
(International Journal of Education and Research, 2015)
In this paper, the problem of an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid flow subjected to a constant pressure gradient in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field applied ...
Comparison of Godunov’s and Relaxation Schemes Approximation of Solutions to the Euler Equations
(Journal of Applied Mathematics and Bioinformatics, 2015)
In this paper we deal with the study of Euler equations for isothermal gas that is governed by two hyperbolic equations. By analysing the equations we obtain two real and distinct eigenvalues which enables ...
Analytical and numerical investigation of unsteady wind for enhanced energy capture in a fluctuating free-stream
(Elsevier, 2017)
Unsteady wind is characterized by low energy content and large fluctuations. A
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based method for capturing wind energy in a
fluctuating free-stream, supported by analytical formulations, ...
An integrated OADM based on Bragg trans-reflectance in 1550 nm VCSEL optical fibre access networks
(Elsevier, 2018)
We experimentally demonstrate an all passive OADM using a single BGF, a pair of
optical circulators and the low cost and energy efficient VCSELs. In this study, double
reflection due to Bragg effect on a single fibre ...
Rhizons improved estimation of nutrient losses because of seepage in aquaculture ponds
(Journal of Earth Science & Climatic Change, 2017)
The effects of climate change have highly challenged the productivity of the agricultural sector. The increasing temperatures and erratic rains, as well as diseases and pests have significantly reduced crop yields in the ...
Analysis of Head Loss in Pipe System Components
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2014)
The problem under investigation is to determine the flow-field variables that is the total head which is the sum total of Elevation head, velocity head and pressure head instantaneous distributions as a function of distance ...
