Improving potato tuber yields using genotypes with multiple virus resistance in Kenya
(2013)
Potato (Solanumtuberosum L.) viruses play a major role in lowering yields and quality of ware
and seed tubers in Kenya. This experiment was conducted to determine potential of potato clones
with multiple virus resistance ...
Dynamic risk model for Rift Valley fever outbreaks in Kenya based on climate and disease outbreak data
(PAGEpress-Geospatial Health, 2015-10-18)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne viral zoonotic disease that occurs throughout sub-Saharan Africa, Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, with heavy impact in affected countries. Outbreaks are episodic and related to ...
Equivalent Banach Operator Ideal Norms1
(HIKARI: International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2012-01-01)
Let X, Y be Banach spaces and consider the w′-topology (the dualweak operator topology) on the space (L(X, Y),‖.‖) of bounded linearoperators from X into X with the uniform operator norm.Lw′(X,Y) is the space of all T∈L(X, ...
Advances in composite integer factorization
(International Knowledge Sharing Platiform, 2013-01-01)
In this research we propose a new method of integer factorization. Prime numbers are the building blocks of arithmetic. At the moment there are no efficient methods (algorithms) known that will determine whether a given ...
Effects of phosphorous on growth and yield of snowpeas (Pisum sativum var. oregon sugar pod II)
(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 ...
Post-harvest practices, constraints and opportunities along cassava value chain in Kenya
(Online, 2016-08-27)
marketing despite its great potential as a food, feed and for industrial application, its processing and remains economically unexploited. A cross-sectional baseline survey was undertaken in Western (Migori and Busia) and ...
Sensory attributes of coffee under different shade regimes and levels of management
(2015)
Despite coffee bean physical and beverage quality attributes being inherent factors, the environment, which
includes crop management factors, can play a major role in determining their expression. This study was
conducted ...
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 ...
Internal energy of a grand canonical ensemble of a mixture of helium isotopes with duo-fermion spin degeneracy
(Centre for Info Biotechnology-IJPMS, 2015-12-01)
We have considered a system consisting of a mixture of helium isotopes 3He-4He interacting weakly in pairs. The partition function of the system with duo-spin and varying number of bosons and fermions is developed to bring ...
