Modeling potential impact of climate change on sorghum and cowpea performance under different tillage and cropping systems in semi-arid areas of Kenya
(Ruforum, 2014)
Field trials were carried out at Kambi ya Mawe location in Eastern Kenya during the long rains
(LRS) of 2010 and short rains (SRS) of 2010/2011, to evaluate effect of tillage and cropping
system on performance of sorghum ...
Evaluation of multiplex PCR in detection of crop alleles and differential hybridization among weedy sorghum populations.
(Asian network for scientific information, 2014)
Utility of the PCR methodology in detection of crop alleles in weedy species has the potential for improvement through techniques that improve efficiency and minimize the cost and time required. This study evaluated the ...
Elementary partial differential equations
(Lambert, 2013-06-01)
The importance of partial differential equations cannot be gainsaid. They are used in science and engineering. Many natural phenomena such as sound, heat, electrostatics, electrodynamics, fluid flow etc occurring in science ...
Early mobilization and physical activity improve stroke recovery: a cohort study of stroke inpatients in Kisumu County referral hospitals, Kenya
(Science and education publishing ; AJPHR, 2016-01-01)
Early mobilization in acute stroke care is highly recommended in a range of developed countries policy; however, in developing countries like Kenya, lack of evidence seems to hinder formulation and implementation of policy ...
Management of aphids and aphid-transmitted viruses in stored seed potatoes in Kenya
(2008-08)
This study was carried out in two storage seasons viz. May to August 2002 and November 2002 to February
2003 to determine effectiveness of insecticides (bifenthrin, dimethoate, mineral oil, pirimiphos-methyl plus
permethrin) ...
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 ...
A study of common causes of mortality among Fishermen in Lake Victoria, Kenya
(KEMRI : AJHS, 2014-01-01)
The fishing industry in Kenya plays an integral role in the socio-economic development of Kenya. However, the working environment of fishermen is characterized by a wide variety of occupational hazards and mortality ...
Women’s persistent utilisation of unskilled birth attendants in Kakamega County, Kenya
(AJOL, 2016-01-01)
Background: Minority of births in sub-Saharan Africa are conducted by skilled birth attendants. Having the highest world maternal mortality ratios and most deaths being associated with lack of trained supervision at delivery. ...
The canon of potato science: 35. seed and ware potato storage.
(Orgz, 2007)
Potatoes will sustain losses during their post-harvest life as they are living organisms with an active metabolism. Depending on storage conditions potato tubers will – to a lesser or greater extent – respire and transpire ...
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 ...
