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 ...
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 ...
Detection of spatial, temporal and trend of meteorological drought using standardized precipitation index (spi) and effective drought index (edi) in the upper Tana river basin.
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018-07-17)
Drought events across the world are increasingly becoming a critical problem owing to its negative effects on water resources. There is need to understand on-site drought characteristics for the purpose of planning mitigation ...
Education and poverty, relationship and concerns. a case for Kenya
(2011-12-01)
Poverty has many dimensions and does not merely entail low levels of income or expenditure. According
to Sen (1992), poverty is the lack of capability to function effectively in society. Inadequate education can
thus be ...
Simulation of the hydraulics and treatment performance of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland treating greywater
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-05-10)
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have evolved as some of reliable wastewater treatment technologies. Various types
of CWs differ in their main design characteristics and in processes responsible for pollutant removal. Classification ...
