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 ...
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 ...
