Potassium nutrition and postharvest moisture loss in carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, 2015-11-07)
The effect of potassium (K) nutrition on the shelf life of carrots (Daucus carota L., cv. Paramount) was studied using a hydroponic system involving rockwool slabs as an inert support. Carrots were grown for 192 d under ...
Mathematical modeling of insulin therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus
(International Journal of multidisciplinary sciences and Engineering, 2015-06-01)
This study presents a Mathematical Model Insulin Therapy in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus which includes external rate at which blood glucose, insulin and epinephrine are being increased in the form, (Y=AY+r ⃗(t)) ̇ ...
Evaluation of relative competitive ability and fitness of sorghum bicolor×sorghum halepense and sorghum bicolor×Sorghum sudanense F1 hybrids
(2015)
Introgression of crop alleles in weedy sorghum populations may have an additive
effect on the adaptive character of the weeds making them more competitive. The
relative fitness in the F1 generation derived from weedy and ...
Dynamic risk model for Rift Valley fever outbreaks in Kenya based on climate and disease outbreak data
(PAGEpress-Geospatial Health, 2015-10-18)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne viral zoonotic disease that occurs throughout sub-Saharan Africa, Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, with heavy impact in affected countries. Outbreaks are episodic and related to ...

(2015-07-31)
Two field experiments were carried out concurrently at the Faculty of Agriculture, Field station farm, University of Nairobi in March-July 2000 (season I) and June-September 2000 (season II) to determine the effect of ...
Sensory attributes of coffee under different shade regimes and levels of management
(2015)
Despite coffee bean physical and beverage quality attributes being inherent factors, the environment, which
includes crop management factors, can play a major role in determining their expression. This study was
conducted ...
Internal energy of a grand canonical ensemble of a mixture of helium isotopes with duo-fermion spin degeneracy
(Centre for Info Biotechnology-IJPMS, 2015-12-01)
We have considered a system consisting of a mixture of helium isotopes 3He-4He interacting weakly in pairs. The partition function of the system with duo-spin and varying number of bosons and fermions is developed to bring ...
The population structure of wild sorghum species in agro-ecological zones of Western Kenya
(2015)
There is need to understand the genetic structure of wild sorghums that grow alongside cultivated traditional sorghum varieties in order to assess the potential effect of crop genes in wild populations. In this study, 175 ...
Efficacy of 1–methylcyclopropene in purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) as affected by dosage and maturity stage
(2015-04-13)
The study was conducted to determine the efficacy of two 1–MCP application regimes (2 ppm for 24 hours and 4 ppm for 12 hours) to extend the shelf life of passion fruits. The fruits were harvested at two stages of maturity ...
Controllability of a quasi-linear heat equation
(Asian Academic Research Associates : AARJMD, 2015-04-01)
In this article we have examined the controllability of the quasi-linear heat equation. We
considered distributed controls with support in a small sub-domain. We assumed that the
quasi-linear terms are locally Lipschitz. ...
