Comparative studies using reptiles as experimental animals in pain research could expand our knowledge on the evolution and adaptation of pain mechanisms. Currently, there are no data reported on the involvement of ...

Soil and root samples were randomly collected from the rhizosphere of Calotropis procera (Calotropis) growing in two wild locations of Makueni and Tharaka-Nithi Counties, Kenya. The root samples were assessed for arbuscular ...

Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed climate changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of climate ...

Understanding the dynamics of the land cover changes and behaviour of hydrological processes in the river basin is important in the sustainable management of water resources. However, there is limitation of data and ...

Low and continuously deteriorating soil fertility coupled with frequent droughts and extended mid-season dry spells scenarios brought about by low and unreliable rainfalls have had a significant negative influence on ...

Kalundu reservoir is one of the water reservoirs in arid and semi-arid lands in Kenya that has been experiencing periodic siltation since 1950s. Lack of data and information on the hydrological processes and land use ...

Genetic integrity of an accession should be preserved in the conservation of germplasm. Characterization of diverse germplasm based on a molecular basis enhances its conservation and use in breeding programs. The aim ...

Nowadays, attention is being paid to exploration of possibilities of exploiting new and under-utilized plant resources with the aim of meeting the growing societal needs. Calotropis procera is one among the many ...

Many peri-urban and rural households use traditional stoves which have low energy use efficiency leading to wasteful use of woodfuel, increase in indoor air pollution and putting more pressure on biomass sources. Energy ...

Nematodes are among the most abundant organisms in marine ecosystems where they play a critical role in nutrient cycling, provision of nourishment to the higher organisms in the food web, pest control, and act as disease-causing ...
