Phytochemical and biological studies of the genus Croton for the development of agrochemical and pharmaceutical products
(2004)Over the past two centuries, research into the chemical and biological properties of natural products has yielded novel and more effective therapeutic agents for treatment of many human ailments. There is, therefore, need ... -
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 ... -
Determination of insecticidal activity of Kenyan Bt isolates against the spotted stem borer, chilo partellus
(2010)The delta – endotoxin crystals containing insecticidal Cryproteins were isolated from 20 unidentified local Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt)isolates and a reference isolate Bt aizawai(Bta) using froth floatation and ... -
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 ... -
New Catalytic Reactions of Iron(III) Porphyrins
(2014)Metalloporphyrins have long been known to be effective catalysts for a variety of organic reactions. These include cyclopropanation, epoxidation, and aziridination of olefins. Iron porphyrins are also efficient catalysts ... -
The Reaction of Molybdenum halocarbonyls , [Mo(CO)4X2]2 ( MoX=Cl,Br) with Cyclic Amine
(Kenyatta University, 2014-09-29)The reaction of tetrahalooctacarbonyldimolybenum (II) complexes with various alylamines has studied with the aim of finding out the nature of the organic oxidation products. In these reactions, piperidine, I-ethylpiperidine, ...
