(Journal of Ecological Engineering, 2020-02)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects that supplemental irrigation (SI) has on Kale (Brassica Oleracea) crop yields as compared to wholly rain-fed crop. The experiments were conducted in Kieni, Central Kenya ...
Synthesis, structural assignments and antiinfective activities of 3-O-benzyl-carvotacetone and 3-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-p-benzoquinone.
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
In an attempt to synthesize carvotacetone analogues, new 3-O-benzyl-carvotacetone (10) and previously reported 3-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-p-benzoquinone (11) were synthesized from piperitone (7). In this work, we ...

On Unitary Invariance of Some Classes of Operators
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
It is a known fact in operator theory that two similar operators have equal spectra but they
do not necessarily have to belong to the same class of operators. However, under the
stronger relation of unitary equivalence ...
