(Academic Journals (Kenya), 2015-02-18)
Cyanogenic content, aflatoxin level and quality of dried cassava chips and flour sold in Nairobi and coastal regions of Kenya
(KALRO, 2015-12-20)
Cassava is a staple food for approximately 800 million people in the world. However, it
poses food safety risks to the consumers due to naturally occurring cyanogenic glucosides. Thirty
six samples of cassava products ...

(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 ...
On minimax risk of non-smooth functional, its asymptotic properties and polynomial estimation
(IJRDO-Journal Of Mathematics, 2015-06-01)
Nonparametric estimation of non-smooth functionals deals with highly structured problems which arise, modeled or cast differently from the ones for which mainline numerical methods have been designed. Non-smooth functional ...
Partition of measurable sets
(council for Innovative Research, 2015-06-18)
The theory of vector measure has attracted much interest among researchers in the recent past. Available results show that measurability concepts of the Lebesgue measure have been used to partition subsets of the real line ...
Sun-photometric study and multivariate analysis ofaerosol optical depth variability over some representative sites of the Kenyan atmosphere
(International Journal of BioChemiPhysics,, 2015-12-01)
The goal of this study was to explore the temporal-spatial characteristics of aerosol optical depth (τ)over the Kenyan urban (Nairobi-1°S, 36°E), rural (Mbita-0°S, 34°E) and maritime (Malindi-2°S, 40°E) atmospheres using ...
Evaluating characteristics of indigenous chicken system with flock size trends in a participatory research on improved management practices in Kenya
(2015)
Analysis and evaluation of agricultural systems use these criteria: energy, economic,
agronomy, environmental conservation and time. Because of time importance indicator for
reducing timeliness cost, project scheduling ...
Evaluating interventions uptake in indigenous chicken production in a participatory research with smallholder farmers in Kenya
(2015)
Indigenous chicken production system has long been characterised by low productivity due to
among other factors, poor management, inadequate and poor feeding regime, poor (or lack) of disease control measures, poor hygiene, ...
Biodegradation of carbofuran in soils within Nzoia River Basin, Kenya
(Journal of Environmental Science and Health, 2015-04-06)
Carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethylbenzofuran-7-yl methylcarbamate) has been used within the Nzoia River Basin (NRB), especially in Bunyala Rice Irrigation Schemes, in Kenya for the control of pests. In this study, the ...
Power degradation and its climatic correlation in field-aged photovoltaic modules operating in Kenya
(GlobeEdu Group, 2015-01-01)
Photovoltaic (PV) modules deployed outdoors usually degrade physically due to exposure to the various elements such as UV light, a range of fluctuating temperatures and humidity and variations in operating currents and ...
