The Efficacy of a Tropical Constructed Wetland for Treating Wastewater during the Wet Season: The Kenyan Experience
(2014)Constructed Wetlands are among the most promising treatment options for domestic and industrial wastewater streams in places where land is available. They need more land than conventional wastewater treatment plants but ... -
Efficacy of alternating therapy with oxamniquine and praziquantel to treat Schistosoma mansoni in children following failure of first treatment.
(University of Nairobi,Department of Zoology, 1991-05)Two hundred children infected with Schistosoma mansoni were treated with either 20 mg/kg oxamniquine or 60 mg/kg praziquantel. Cure rates (about 85%) were similar as was the percentage reduction (80%) in egg counts in ... -
Efficacy of Biological Control and Cultivar Resistance on Fusarium Head Blight and T-2 Toxin Contamination in Wheat
(© 2012 SciRes.School of biological sciences, 2012-02)Laboratory and green house experiments were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of fungicides, biological agents and host resistance in managing FHB and the associated T-2 toxin. In vitro activity of fungicides and ... -
Efficacy of microencapsulated repellents based on Psiadia punctulata exudate and Daphne essential oils
(Department of Chemistry, 2001)This paper presents the results of testing the efficacy of microencapsulated repellents isolated from P. punctulata leaves, and the Daphne repellents. The active compound of Daphne is a mixture of more than twenty natural ... -
