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 ...
Effect of accel (gibberellins (ga4+7) + benzyladenine) on the shelf life of French beans, phaseolus vulgaris L.
(2003)
To determine the effects of Accel on the shelf life of French beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L. variety Monel, two
field experiments were conducted at the University of Nairobi’s Kabete Field Station for two seasons. Accel was ...
Effects of Nitrogen and Phosphorus fertiliser on growth and yield of ironweed (vernoniagalamesis)
(2003)
Ironweed (Vernonia galamensis) is a promising new crop for industrial oil but information on its response to ferfiliser is scanty. A field experiment was conducted at the University of Nairobi Field Station farm during 2 ...
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 ...
Investigating eggs hatchability in indigenous chicken system with smallholder farms in Kenya in a participatory research using analysis of variation
(Elewa bioSciences, 2014)
Objective: The aim of this farmer participatory research was to investigate the treatment effects of housing, vaccination, deworming and feed supplementation on production characteristics of indigenous chicken in different ...
Poverty alleviation: the educational planning perspective
(Academic Journals, 2009-06-30)
A well planned education system is expected to respond to the socio-economic needs as well as the
political objectives of any country. Education contributes to poverty reduction by increasing the value
of efficiency of ...
