ABSTRACT Deficiencies of micronutrients are a major global health problem with more than 2 billion people (among them children) in the world today estimated to be deficient in key vitamins and minerals. Most of these people live in low income countries while micronutrient-rich foods such as sweet potatoes are locally available. Micronutrient deficiencies increase the general risk of infectious illness and of dying from diarrhea, measles, malaria and pneumonia, conditions that are among the 1...

ABSTRACT In Kenya, aquaculture continues to expand as a source of food production and livelihood in all the counties. Mortality of Nile Tilapia and African Catfish fingerlings constitute the biggest loss in extensive and intensive fish farms. The main objective of this study was to determine contamination by bacteria and fungi in Nile Tilapia and African Catfish fingerlings. The study was carried out from March 2014 to July 2014 in fish farms with different water sources, hatchery systems an...
ABSTRACT Lack of access to safe drinking water is a major concern due to negative health effects experienced by people in many parts of the world. The quality of such waters is mainly affected by pollutants from natural and anthropogenic sources when they get incorporated in the water sources. These pollutants are either organic or inorganic species. Among the inorganic pollutants are fluorides. Continuous consumption of high concentrations of fluoride ions leads to their accumulation in th...
ABSTRACT With the advent of digital age, it is inevitable for Real estate’s organizations to reinforce security measures to protect data form loss, unauthorized viewing or corruption. ~l’he need to secure stored data and data on transit in a network birthed, and also to ensure data is managed and controlled with efficient measures, to avoid redundancy, inconsistency, incompatible file formats and fixed queries among other limitations of paperwork. The gist of this project revolves around ...
ABSTRACT Lanthanum Fluoride (LaF3) has several applications for instance, in electrodes manufacture, fluorescent lamps and fiber optic devices due to its high heat capacity. Barium fluoride (BaF2) is an alkaline-earth element with a wide band gap with many optical applications, such as lithography. BaF2 has been established as an excellent candidate that is useful for hosting optically active centers (OAC).Lanthanide elements have been used as dopants in BaF2 lattice to achieve the desired o...
Abstract Ranova Hotel Management System is developed to be used by hotel staff and for better management of the hotel process. It is used to- give facility to the user. It is also developed to replace the manual system that is used before. There have been many problems during use manual system, like data redundancy, lost or damage. The scopes that exist in this system are booking online room, rent room, make payment using system, generate report for the hotel, make a checklist and make an ord...
ABSTRACT The objective of this project was to develop a computerized system. According to this scheme a Recruitment system has been developed for Info-Corn Limited. In the old process, the information of recruitment system was just stored in file base system. The new system is able to store all the information of recruitment in a database. And also deliver useful reports. In designing the database driven website, the researcher has used Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, PHP language and MySQL server....

This will also cater for the newly accepted client under the department. It’s in due course because of the problems incurred due to storage of data in a paper system like; data loss, misplacement, and disclosure of the confidential da...
ABSTRACT Many underutilized indigenous foods contain high levels of essential trace elements some of which have immunological effect, and play important roles in many metabolic and enzymatic functions in man. Such elements include zinc, vanadium, selenium, chromium and iodine among others. If sustainably exploited, they would cost-effectively promote good health and thus reduce the medical bills. There is need therefore to analyze for these essential trace elements in foods, and especially t...
ABSTRACT Water hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) invasion in Lake Victoria has become a matter of concern over the last two decades. There has been suggestion on the possibility of producing compost from water hyacinth as a way of managing the weed cover in the lake and at the same time help local farmers in the region boost their agricultural production by supplementing the use of commercial chemical fertilizers. However, the safety of using water hyacinth’s compost has to be investigated a...
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important cereal crop in Kenya with 90% of the total population relying on it as the main staple food. Post-harvest losses in maize is caused by insect pests such Sitophilus zeamais and Fungi such Aspergillus and Fusarium among others. Post harvest losses by insect pests can sometimes be up to 90 percent. Synthetic chemicals are used to manage weevil infestation and control mould development in maize. However, chemical residues have been detected on t...
ABSTRACT Though most of the Higher Education Institutions have appreciated the growing innovations in Information Technologies for instance automating of the day to day operation, but much of the automation was mainly done at departmental level as every department installs its system like academics, admission, finance and other departments as they could be in the Institution. This kind of automation has numerous negative implications which include high costs of operation as each department ma...
ABSTRACT A study was carried out to determine the heavy metal concentrations in the wetlands of Lake Victoria basin and their effect on bacterial resistance to ten commonly used antibiotics. Water and sediment samples for heavy metal analysis and microbiological assays were randomly collected from sewage outfalls and points bordering heavy metal activity settlements. Heavy metal analysis was done using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (F-AAS). The microbiological assays targeted heterotr...
