Trend analysis of aerosol optical depth and angström exponent anomaly over East Africa
(scientific Research Publishing, 2017-10-31)
Trend analysis of atmospheric aerosols enhances confidence in the evaluation of both direct and indirect effects of aerosols on regional climate change. To comprehensively achieve this over East Africa, it’s important to ...
Estimation of radiative forcing due to aerosols over selected sites in Kenya
(Kenya Meteorological Society : Journal of Meteorology and Related Sciences, 2013-01-01)
Variations in the radiative characteristics of aerosols can be used to quantify their effects on climate. This study evaluated the temporal-spatial variability of aerosol radiative characteristics at λ = 440 nm, λ = 675 ...
Investigation of radiative characteristics of the Kenyan atmosphere due to aerosols using sun spectrophotometry measurements and the COART model
(Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research : Aerosol and Air Quality, 2013-01-01)
Variations in the radiative characteristics of aerosols can be used to quantify their effects on climate. This study evaluated the temporal-spatial variability of aerosol radiative characteristics at λ = 440 nm, λ = 675 ...
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 ...
Aerosol optical depth and precipitation rate projections over east africa utilizing self organizing map
(The International Journal Of Science & Technoledge, 2017-03-01)
Assessment of future aerosols impacts on both regional and global climate change requires a comprehensive projection tool that reliably provides information on aerosol evolution characteristics with high fidelity. In the ...
Thermodynamic properties of yttrium based cuprate due to electron-cooper pair interaction using BVT
(Open Access Library Journal, 2018-10-15)
Since the discovery of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC), there have been varied results concerning the high pairing energy in the unconventional superconductivity. In an attempt to unearth the mechanism behind the ...
Transformations in Kenyan science teachers’ locus of control: the influence of contextualized science and emancipated student learning
(Routledge, 2017-02-21)
This study investigated Kenyan science teachers’ pedagogical transformations, which manifested as they enacted and experienced a reformed contextualized science curriculum in which students’ learning experiences were ...
Contextualized science teaching and student performance: the case of a Kenyan girls science class
(Instituto de Relaciones Internacionales" Daza de Valdes", 2017-06)
This paper is about a case study that investigated the impact of contextualized science teaching and learning onperformance of a Form three (Grade 11) class in one of Kenya’s girls high schools. The class experienced nine ...
A technological infrastructure assessment framework for telemedicine adoption in Kenyan level four hospitals
(KIBU, 2019-06-12)
Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technologies in order to provide clinical health care at a distance, it helps eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to medical services that would ...
