Contrasts between the Vibronic Contributions in the tris-(2,2′-bipyridyl)Osmium(II) Emission Spectrum and the Implications of Resonance-Raman Parameters
(Department of Chemistry, 2009)The emission spectrum of the tris-(2,2′-bipyridine)osmium(II) metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited-state frozen solution at 77 K differs qualitatively from that expected based on its reported resonance-Raman (rR) ... -
Contribution of Seed Quality to the Occurrence of Fungal and Bacterial Diseases of Farmer Produced Common Bean in Varied Agro-Climatic Zones of Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)Abstract: Farmers often recycle farm saved bean seeds from previous harvest for planting in subsequent cropping seasons resulting in reduced quality and buildup of seed borne diseases. This study investigated the quality ... -
