Developing Suitable Proportions for the Production of Pineapple Leaf Fibers Reinforced Normal Strength Concrete
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2019-07)The present work tried to develop suitable proportions for the production of Pineapple Leaf Fibers (PALF) reinforced Normal Strength Concrete (NSC), an experimental analysis with a mix ratio of 1:1.84:3.27 for cement: fine ... -
Effects of Recycled Tyre Steel Fibres on the Compressive, Splitting Tensile and Flexural Strengths of Structural Lightweight Concrete Using Palm Kernel Shells as Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregates
(Civil and Environmental Research, 2019-11)The improper handling and disposal of waste tyres in many African countries is still a serious problem which has caused environmental and health hazards. Like waste tyres, the proper reuse of agricultural wastes, such as ... -
Inspection of Pineapple Leaf Fibers Extraction to Be Used in Construction Industry
(Environmental Pollution and Protection, 2019-12)This paper presents the possibility of using pineapple leaf fibers (PALF) in construction industry. In this study each leaf of the plant of pineapple contained 2.5% to 3.5% of strong white silky fibers. PALF were extracted ... -
Stock status and some biological aspects of Lethrinus lentjan (Lacapede, 1802) from the south coast of Kenya
(Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2019-12)The Pinkear Emperor (Lethrinus lentjan, Laćepède, 1802) is among the three demersal species dominating fish catches in the artisanal fishery on the Kenyan coast. Available data indicate that total landings of L. lentjan ... -
The biology of Goldsilk Sea Bream (family: Sparidae) from the inshore waters of north coast Kenya
(Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2019-12)The biology of the sparid, Acanthopagrus berda (goldsilk sea bream) was investigated using catch samples obtained from artisanal fishers at selected fish landing sites in the Marereni and Ngomeni fishing areas on the north ... -
Decentralized constrained optimal control of the multimachine power system stability improvement
(Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2020-03)This paper proposes a decentralized constrained optimal control of the multimachine power system stability. Today’s power networks operate closer to their maximum limits. Alternative Current power grids are more vulnerable ... -
Modulation of Cognition: The Role of Gnidia glauca on Spatial Learning and Memory Retention in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Rats
(Hindawi Neural Plasticity, 2019-09)Chronic exposures to high-fat diets are linked to neuropathological changes that culminate in obesity-related cognitive dysfunction and brain alteration. Learning, memory performance, and executive function are the main ... -
Anti-obesity effects of dichloromethane leaf extract of Gnidia glauca in high fat diet-induced obese rats
(Elsevier, 2019-10)Obesity is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by increased adipose tissue mass due to positive energy balance. Prescription of anti-obesity drugs can be useful adjuncts to diet and exercise for obese patients who ... -
In Vitro Antioxidant Properties of Dichloromethanolic Leaf Extract of Gnidia glauca (Fresen) as a Promising Antiobesity Drug
(Sage, 2019-09)The acquisition of ethnobotanical information from traditional practitioners remains an empirical aspect of understanding the ethnopharmacology research. However, integration of information on chemical composition of plant ... -
Antipyretic potential of dichloromethane leaf extract of Eucalyptus globulus (Labill) and Senna didymobotrya (Fresenius) in rats models
(2019-11)Fever is managed using synthetic drugs such as aspirin, paracetamol among others. Synthetic drugs are associated with many side effects. Herbal medicines form alternative therapy since they possess fewer side effects and ... -
Effects of DCM Leaf Extract of Gnidia glauca (Fresen) on Locomotor Activity, Anxiety, and Exploration-Like Behaviors in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Rats
(Hindawi Behavioural Neurology, 2019-12)Obesity is the main component of metabolic syndromes involving distinct etiologies that target different underlying behavioral and physiological functions within the brain structures and neuronal circuits. An alteration ... -
