Adsorption of Dursban (Chlorpyrifos) Pesticide by Loam Soil from Limuru, Kenya: Apparent Thermodynamic Properties
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
The adsorption phenomenon of chlorpyrifos by suspended loam soil particles from Limuru, Kenya in an aqueous
solution was studied using a model which assumes the adsorption/ desorption relations: nSX S nX ⇔ + ,

Metal-to-Metal Electron-Transfer Emission in Cyanide-Bridged Chromium−Ruthenium Complexes: Effects of Configurational Mixing Between Ligand Field and Charge Transfer Excited States
(2008)
Irradiations of the transition metal-to-transition metal charge transfer (MMCT) absorption bands of a series of cyanide-bridged chromium(III)−ruthenium(II) complexes at 77 K leads to near-infrared emission spectra of the ...
Natural Convection with Localized Heating and Cooling on Opposite Vertical Walls in an Enclosure
(2013)
This is a numerical study of turbulent natural convection flow in a rectangular enclosure. The flow
of heat is one form of Newtonian motion. We consider natural convection in a three dimensional rectangular
enclosure in ...
Surface passivation effect on CO2 sensitivity of spray pyrolysis deposited Pd-F: SnO2 thin film gas sensor
(2014)
Different thin films samples made of SnO2, F:SnO2, Pd: SnO2 and and co-doped Pd-F: SnO2 were deposited at a
substrate temperature of 450oC using optimized doping concentrations of F and Pd, thereafter the samples were ...
