Assessment of rainwater retention in agricultural land and crop yield increase due to conservation tillage in Ewaso Ng’iro river basin, Kenya
(2006)
Rainwater harvesting and management (RHM) systems are increasingly being recognized as one of the strategies of upgrading rainfed agriculture, especially by smallholder farmers in semi-arid environments. The need to increase ...
Effect of source, time and method of nitrogen application on growth and yield components of potato in Kenya
(2000)
The effect of different sources of Nitrogen (N), time and method of application on growth and
development of potato was investigated over two seasons using the cultivar Dutch Robjyn. The
three sources of nitrogen (Calcium ...
Effects of static electromagnetic fields at 24 hours incubation on the germination of rose coco beans (phaseolus vulgaris)
(2009-05)
This study evaluates the percent germination of Rose coco beans (Phaseolus vulgaris
L.) seeds, when exposed to static electromagnetic fields under laboratory conditions incubated for
24 h. This can be replicated in the ...
The influence of AC electromagnetic fields on the initial radicle growth rate of phaseolus vulgaris L.
(FACT Limited, 2009-10-07)
Objectives: To determine if AC electromagnetic fields can be used to improve growth of food crops. This
would reduce and minimize contamination of yield that is associated with application of fertilizers to
promote plant ...
On summing multipliers and applications
(Academic press, 2001-01-01)
A scalar sequence (αi) is said to be a p-summing multiplier of a Banach space E, if ∑∞i = 1‖αixi‖p < ∞ for all weakly p-summable sequences in E. We study some important properties of the space mp(E) of all p-summing ...
On convergence of sections of sequences in Banach spaces
(Springer-verlag, 2000-02-01)
An elementary proof of the (known) fact that each element of the Banach spaceℓ w p (X) of weakly absolutelyp-summable sequences (if 1≤p<∞) in the Banach spaceX is the norm limit of its sections if and only if each element ...
Gender disparity in education
(Oakland Books, 2004)
Quality education is a fundamental right enshrined in the 1948 universal declaration of human rights. It is estimated that about 18% eligible children have never been enrolled in schools; about 62% of these eligible children ...
Spaces of compact operators and their dual spaces
(Business mathematics and informatics, 2002)
Theω′-topology on the spaceL(X, Y) of bounded linear operators from the Banach spaceX into the Banach spaceY is discussed in [10]. Let ℒw' (X, Y) denote the space of allT∈L(X, Y) for which there exists a sequence of compact ...
Estimating spatial sediment delivery ratio on a large rural catchment
(2006-05-20)
Soil erosion and sediment yield from catchments are key limitations to achieving sustainable land use
and maintaining water quality in streams, lakes and other water bodies. Controlling sediment loading
requires the ...
Modelling soil erosion and sediment yield at a catchment scale: the case of Masinga catchment, Kenya
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-08-07)
Development of improved soil erosion and sediment yield prediction technology is required to provide catchment stakeholders with the tools they need to evaluate the impact of various management strategies on soil loss and ...
