Variant termination of the common carotid artery: cases of quadrifurcation and pentafurcation
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Knowledge of variant termination of common carotid artery is important to prevent inadvertent vascular injury during surgical, interventional and diagnostic radiological neck procedures. The variations show population ...
Adsorption of Congo Red Dye from Aqueous Solutions Using Roots of< i> Eichhornia Crassipes</i>: Kinetic and Equilibrium Studies
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Adsorption of Congo red (CR) from aqueous solution using dried roots of Eichhornia crassipes was studied. Batch experiments were carried out for sorption kinetics and isotherms. Experimental results obtained showed that ...
Determination of damage threshold of cassava green mite (Acari: Tetranychidae) on different cassava varieties for pest management
(2014)
Density threshold has been least considered in efforts to control cassava green mite (CGM) of
the Mononychellus species. Nine cassava varieties of varied cyanogenic contents were evaluated for
CGM density threshold. Mite ...
On reflectionless equi-transmitting matrices
(2014)
Reflectionless equi-transmit.ting unitary matrices are studied in connection to
matching conditions in quantum graphs. All possible such matrices of size G are described explicitly. It is shown that such matrices form 30 ...
