Adsorption and detection of some phenolic compounds by rice husk ash of Kenyan origin

Mbui, Damaris N; Shiundu, Paul M; Ndonye, Rachel M; Kamau, Geoffrey N (2002)

Rice husk ash (RHA) obtained from a rice mill in Kenya has been used as an inexpensive and effective adsorbent (and reagent) for the removal (and detection) of some phenolic compounds in water. The abundantly available ...
Obstacles to utilization of information held by archival institutions

Kemoni, Henry N.; Kiplang'at, Joseph; Wamukoya, Justus (Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2003)

The paper reviews literature on the obstacles that hinder the use of information held in archival institutions. First, it highlights the importance of records and archives as sources of information. Second, the paper ...
Women librarians in Kenya: a study of their status and occupational characteristics

Kiplang'at, Joseph; Majanja, Mabel (Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2003)

This study investigated the current status and occupational characteristics of women librarians in Kenya. The study’s objectives were to: compare their status to that of their male counterparts; establish their career ...
Removal of Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution Using a Micaceous Mineral of Kenyan Origin

Attahiru, Stephen; Shiundu, Paul M; Onyari, John; Mathu, Eliud (2003)

A micaceous mineral (MicaM) available locally in Kenya was utilized as an inexpensive and effective adsorbent for the removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solution. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature, adsorbate and ...
Retention behavior of metal particle dispersions in aqueous and nonaqueous carriers in thermal field-flow fractionation

Shiundu, Paul M; Munguti, Stephen M; Ratanathanawongs, S.Kim Williams (Elsevier, 2003)

Until quite recently, theories on thermophoresis of particles predicted very low thermophoretic velocities of metal particles in liquids. This prediction was based on the understanding that the very high thermal conductivities ...
Magnitude and direction of thermal diffusion of colloidal particles measured by thermal field-flow fractionation

Shiundu, Paul M; Williams, P.Stephen; Giddings, J.Calvin (Elsevier, 2003)

In this paper we provide experimental evidence showing that various types of submicrometer-sized particles (latexes, inorganic, and metallic), suspended in either aqueous or nonaqueous carrier liquids to which a temperature ...
Diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies in communication of agricultural information among agricultural researchers and extension workers in Kenya

Kiplang’at, Joseph (South African Journal of Library and Information Science, 2005)

The paper reports on the findings of a study that investigated the diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in communication of agricultural information among agricultural researchers and extension ...
The diffusion of innovations theory as a theoretical framework in library and information science research

Kiplang’at, Joseph; Minishi, Majanja, Mabel K. (South African Journal of Library and Information Science, until Vol 67, Issue 2, 2005)

This paper discusses the appropriateness of Diffusion of Innovations (DoI) Theory as a platform for explaining aspects of information and communication technology (ICT) innovation adoption process in the field of Library ...
The role of research in music education

Akuno, EA (2005)
Essentiality of a Newly Identified Carbohydrate-Binding Module for the Function of CelB (BH0603) from the Alkaliphilic Bacterium Bacillus halodurans▿

Wamalwa, Benson Munyali; Sakka, Makiko; Shiundu, Paul M; Ohmiya, Kunio; Kimura, Tetsuya; Sakka, Kazuo (2006)

CelB (BH0603) from Bacillus halodurans is a modular glycoside hydrolase with a family 5 catalytic module, an immunoglobulin-like module, and module PfamB of unknown function. The recombinant PfamB module bound to Avicel ...
Music education: conceptual implications for curriculum content and delivery in Kenya

Akuno, EA (2006)
Microbiology & Fermentation Technology-High-Level Heterologous Expression of Bacillus halodurans Putative Xylanase Xyn11A (BH0899) in Kluyveromyces lactis.

Wamalwa, Benson Munyali; Zhao, Guangshan; Sakka, Makiko; Shiundu, Paul M; Kimura, Tetsuya; Sakka., Kazuo (2007)
Optical Immunosensor and ELISA for the Analysis of Pyrethroids and DDT in Environmental Samples

Kramer, Petra M; Weber, Cristina M; Kremmer, Elisabeth; Rauber, Christina; Martens, Dieter; Forster, Stephan; Stanker, Larry H; Rauch, Peter; Shiundu, Paul M; Mulaa, Francis J (2007)

An optical immunosensor (AQUA-OPTOSENSOR) and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for the analysis of pyrethroids and DDT in river water and/or sediment, are described. The optical immunosensor consists of a bench-top ...
Key Issues for Cios in South Africa

Johnston, Kevin; Muganda, Nixon; Theys, Karen (2007)

Business strategy, operations, communication and technology have converged and resulted in increased demand for business flexibility. Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are particularly challenged because they operate at ...
Optical Immunosensor and ELISA for the Analysis of Pyrethroids and DDT in Environmental Samples

Krämer, Petra M; Weber, Cristina M; Kremmer, Elisabeth; Räuber, Christina; Martens, Dieter; Forster, Stephan; Stanker, Larry H; Rauch, Peter; Shiundu, Paul M; Mulaa, Francis J (American Chemical Society, 2007)

An optical immunosensor (AQUA-OPTOSENSOR) and ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for the analysis of pyrethroids and DDT in river water and/or sediment, are described. The optical immunosensor consists of a bench-top ...
Indigenous Music in Modern Education: The Road to Cultural Relevance

Andang'o, E. A; Otoyo, D; Akuno, E; Owino, C (2007)
FORMAL MUSIC EDUCATION IN THE PROPAGATION OF CULTURAL VALUES

Akuno, EA (2007)

Events of socio-cultural significance are marked and hon oured by society in different ways. The activities that celebrate these events ar e often multidimensional. In most cases, they involve ...
High-level heterologous expression of Bacillus halodurans putative xylanase xyn11a (BH0899) in Kluyveromyces lactis

Wamalwa, Benson Munyali; Zhao, Guangshan; Sakka, Makiko; Shiundu, Paul M; Kimura, Tetsuya; Sakka, Kazuo (2007)

The putative xyn11A structural gene (BH0899) encoding a family-11 xylanase from alkaliphilic Bacillus halodurans strain C-125 was heterologously expressed in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis CBS 1065 and secreted to a level ...
Biodegradability of Poly (lactic acid), Preparation and Characterization of PLA/Gum Arabic Blends

Onyari, John M; Mulaa, Francis; Muia, Joshua; Shiundu, Paul (2008)

In this study, the biodegradation of PLA films using microorganisms from Lake Bogoria (Kenya) were investigated. The biodegradation tests done using certain strains of thermophilic bacteria showed faster biodegradation ...
