Effect of larval food plants and seasons on the quality of the African wild silkmoth, gonometa postica walker (lepidoptera: lasiocampidae) cocoons
(Kenyatta University, 2009)Wild silkmoth farming offers an economic incentive for forest-adjacent communities to fully participate in forest conservation initiatives. Gonometa postica Walker is known to produce high-quality silk. It is being ... -
Comparative determination of heavy metals bioaccumulation in bamboo as a phytoremediative process to polluted riverine wetlands
(Kenyatta University, 2009)Nairobi's unplanned settlements have resulted into open drained domestic and industrial waste into tributaries that join the larger Nairobi River at different stages of its development. Polluted water, to is either ... -
Animal feed suppliment from avocado residue and other locally available materials
(Kenyatta University, 2009)Kenya's population has been on the increase, and more than 15 million people are poor and live in rural Kenya. Of these, 70% are women, who are particularly vulnerable because they do not have equal access to social ... -
Seasonal Variability in the Diversity of Microbial Assemblages and Antibiotic Resistance Determinants of an Estuary System
(2015)Antibiotic resistance (AR) promoted by heavy metal pollution, is widely found in environmental microbes [1-3]. The mobility and acquisition of AR genes depends on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) [4]. Estuaries are metals ... -
Conducting polyamic acid membranes for sensing and site-directed immobilization of proteins
(2013)Poly (amic) acid (PAA) is a functionalized conducting polymer substrate that provides electrochemical detection control of biospecific binding. In this work, we report a biosensor platform based on the PAA for oriented ... -
Current State of Handling, Processing and Quality of Omena (Rastrionebola argentea) in Mfangano and Rusinga Islands, Kenya
(2010-12)The livelihood of many Small Scale Fishers in Lake Victoria is based on the Omena Rastrionebola argentea fishery. The processing and trading in Omena in Kenya is dominated by women (80%) who derive their livelihood from ...
