Household's socio-economic factors influencing the level of adaptation to climate variability in the dry zones of Eastern Kenya
(Elsevier, 2015-11)Climate variability has a negative impact on crop productivity and has had an effect on many small-holder farmers in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). Small-holder farmers in Eastern Kenya are faced with the constraint ... -
Performance of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Nigeria and Benin (1990-2009)
(OMICS Group, 2015-11)The study evaluated the performance of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Nigeria and Benin (1990- 2009). The main analytical apparatus used to answer the research questions, achieve the research objectives and ... -
Impact of reduced tillage and crop residue management on soil properties and crop yields in a long-term trial in western Kenya
(2015-11)Sustainable farming practices are required to address the persistent problems of land degradation and declining crop productivity in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Approaches such as reducing tillage and retaining crop residues ... -
The Role of Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Sustainability Transitions: A Conceptual Synthesis against the Background of the Multi-Level Perspective
(MDPI AG - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2015-11)This paper conceptually synthesizes prior studies on sustainable entrepreneurship against the background of the multi-level perspective.It thereby relates separate streams of literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, ... -
Formulation of Ceramic Water Filter Composition for the Treatment of Heavy Metals and Correction of Physiochemical Parameters in Household Water
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-11)The process of using ceramic water filter to remove contaminants and microbes in water processing is becoming more effective and popular among ceramists and homes in developing countries. However, ceramic filters are not ... -

The Effect of Plasticizers on Mechanical Properties and Water Vapor Permeability of Gelatin-Based Edible Films Containing Clay Nanoparticles
(Scientific Research, 2015-12)The effects of glycerol and sorbitol as two plasticizers on mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, thermal properties, color and capability of heat sealing of gelatin films (of phytophagous fish, bovine gelatin ... -
Nanoscale Stiffness Distribution in Bone Metastasis
(Scientific Research, 2015-12)Nanomechanical heterogeneity is expected to have an effect on elasticity, injury and bone remodelling. In normal bone, we have two types of cells (osteoclasts and osteoblasts) working together to maintain existing bone. ... -
Trap characteristics of UV-activated Y3(Al,Ga)5O12:Ce3+phosphorsA
(Elsevier, 2015-12)tThis paper reports on the trap characteristics of commercially obtained Y3(Al,Ga)5O12:Ce3+phosphorpowder. The effects of UV irradiation time and different heating rates have been discussed using differentthermoluminescence ... -
The Dilemma of Incumbents in Sustainability Transitions: A Narrative Approach
(MDPI AG - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2015-12)In the context of the larger sustainability discourse, “sufficiency” is beginning to emerge as a new value throughout Western societies, and the question asked in this article is: Can we observe and conceptually identify ... -
