(Ajol: Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies & Management, 2016-06-19)
This study investigated projected changes in rainfall and temperature over Bungoma County by the year 2050 based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) A1B and ...
School factors as correlates of secondary students’ achievement in mathematics in Bungoma County, Kenya
(International Journal of Educational Investigations, 2015-10-01)
There is abundant research evidence to support the view that when Mathematics is taught in an enabling environment, a lot of enjoyable learning takes place. But in reality this is not always so, the implication is that ...
The effectiveness of coccinellids as natural enemies of aphids in maize, beans and cowpeas intercrop
(2012)
Abstract: A field study was conducted in Busia district of Kenya to elucidate the dynamics of ladybirds in mixed stands of maize, beans and cowpeas to determine their efficacy as sole control measures for Aphids. Maize, ...
Effects of different agroecosystems on prevalence of different species of pests and coccinellid predators
(2012)
Abstract: This study was aimed at determining the effects of mixed and single cropping agroecosystems on the prevalence of different species of insect pests and coccinellids. It involved six growing crops: maize Zea mays ...

Effect of CuO2 plane on the thermodynamic properties of double Tl-O layered cuprate based on an interaction between cooper pair and an electron
(2016)
Electron interaction near the critical temperature is viewed as a contributor to the establishment of the
energy gap which of late is projected to be a harbinger to explaining microscopic mechanism behind High
temperature ...
