Drivers of Forest Cover Change and Indicators of Climate Change in Katimok Forest Reserve

Jebiwott, Alice; Ogendi, G. M; Makindi, Stanley Maingi; Esilaba, Moses (2016)

The conversion of forests into other land uses as well as unsustainable utilization of forest resources leads to a reduction in the area, quality and quantity of the forest cover and ecosystem services. Changes in ...
Kinetics of Degradation of Metribuzin in aqueous solution using Zero Valent Iron Nanoparticles

K’Owino, Isaac O.; Okello, Veronica; Masika, Kevin (2018-06)

In this work, zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI NPs) were synthesized in (EW-Fe0) ethanol -water mixed system and have been evaluated for degradation in aqueous solution of metribuzin. The batch experiments at varying ...
