Determination of discrete particles optimum design parameters for surface irrigation system settling basin
(2018-06-05)
Irrigated agriculture is faced with challenges that include sediment loading in the river basins and dams. The
management of sediments in river basins and waterways has been an important issue for water managers throughout ...
Drought forecasting under climate change scenarios using artificial neural networks for sustainable water resources management in upper Tana river basin, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-07-10)
Climate change has continued to impact negatively on water resources globally. For instance, extreme weather conditions especially the drought phenomena have become frequent in Africa. This has prompted water engineers and ...
Bathymetric survey of lake Naivasha and its satellite lake Oloiden in Kenya; using acoustic profiling system
(wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/lre, 2018-10-23)
Lakes and reservoirs play important roles as freshwater sources for domestic, indus-trial, agricultural, fisheries and recreational purposes. However, for the lakes to be sustainably exploited, there is need to understand ...
EDXRF spectroscopic elemental analysis for efficacy of Kibabii University sewage treatment System
(Open Access Library Journal, 2018-10-18)
Elemental analysis of sewage effluents in Kibabii sewage treatment system was achieved via Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy with the aim of assessing the efficacy of the treatment system. Concentrations ...
Specific heat and entropy of a three electron model in bismuth based cuprate superconductor
(Science Publishing Group : World Journal of applied physics, 2018-06-11)
A theoretical study considering Bi2201, Bi2212 and Bi2223 bismuth based cuprates whose critical Temperatures (TC) are 20K, 95K and 110K with one, two and three CuO2 planes respectively; based on a three electron model in ...
Effect of duo fermion spin on the specific heat and entropy of a mixture of helium isotopes
(Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology (, 2018-10-01)
Spin normally determines the character, rate of collision and subsequently the properties of ultracold systems. This study investigated the effect of double spin degeneracy on the thermodynamic properties of Helium-3 and ...
Stability bifurcation Analysis of a fishery model with nonlinear variation in market price
(HIKARI Ltd: Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2018-01-01)
Stability bifurcation Analysis of a fishery model with nonlinear variation in market price
We develop a fishery model with price dependent harvesting by formulating a system of three differential equations describing its ...
Effect of packaging material on shelf Life and quality of ware potato tubers stored at ambient tropical temperatures
(Springer Netherlands, 2018-09-01)
The effect of seven packaging materials (transparent perforated and non-perforated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bags, black perforated and non-perforated low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bags, nylon gunny sacks, khaki ...
Growth and nutrient content of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) in acidic soils of south western Kenya
(2018-11-10)
Field experiments were carried out in Kericho East (0°22' S, 35°17' E) and Bomet central (0°47' S, 35°21' E) to determine the effects of liming and phosphorous (P) fertiliser on nodulation, growth, yield and nutrient content ...
Long term assessment of aerosol radiative forcing over selected sites of East Africa
(scientific Research Publishing, 2018-03-08)
Atmospheric aerosols have contributed to radiative forcing through direct and indirect mechanisms. Aerosol effects are important in computing radiative forcing estimates for the past, current and future climate. In this ...
