Segmentation and Alignment of Multi-oriented and Curved Text Lines from Document Images
(2015-06)In this paper, we present a novel approach to segment and align multi-oriented and curved text-lines from document images. We assumed that the input document image contains text-lines with arbitrary orientation and ... -
Segregation disortion of anthocyanin morphological marker in F2 population of cross between basmati and environment genic male sterile rice lines
(2013)Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) is preferred by many Kenyans yet its yield per hectare is low. This challenge led to initiation of Basmati hybrid rice project in Kenya with a goal of leaping yield benefits of heterosis. ... -
Selection of Ruiru 11 hybrid sibs on raw coffee quality
(2012-06)The economic value of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is determined mainly by the yield potential, the size and shape of raw beans and beverage quality. Bean quality reportedly differ depending on the variety, environmental ... -
Selection within Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 for high cup quality
(Academic Journals, 2012-09-26)In recent years, consumer awareness about the quality of different coffees has increased and therefore production and supply of coffee with excellent quality attach more significance. As a result, many coffee producing ... -

(2019-05)The purpose of this study was to examine the Mediation effect of goal commitment on the relationship between self-efficacy and sales performance. The study adapted explanatory research design targeting 448 insurance ... -
A Self-Learning Diagnosis Algorithm Based on Data Clustering
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-08)The article describes an approach to building a self-learning diagnostic algorithm. The self-learning algorithm creates models of the object under consideration. The models are formed periodically through a certain time ... -
A Self-Optimization of the Dynamic Resource Management Based on the Cognitive Radio
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-04)This paper describes a novel self-optimized approach for resource management based on the cognitive radio in the cellular networks. The cognitive radio techniques offer several features like autonomy, sensing and negotiation. ... -
A Self-Similar Fractal Cantor Antenna for MICS Band Wireless Applications
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-04)Low profile antenna in communication is a new methodology. Fractal geometry is a methodology through which size reduction is achieved. A Self-similar fractal antenna using multicantor technique is proposed and experimentally ... -
Sensitivity of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Isolates from Diseased Avocado Fruits to Selected Fungicides in Kenya
(Hindawi, 2018)Colletotrichumgloeosporioides is a serious postharvest pathogen of avocado fruits worldwide. Kenya lacks any registered fungicides for the management of the disease. Nevertheless, farmers commonly use commercially available ... -
Sensitivity of microscopy compared to molecular diagnosis of p. Falciparum: implications on malaria treatment in epidemic areas in kenya
(2011)Detection of Plasmodium species by microscopy has been the gold standard for diagnosis of malaria for more than a century. Despite the fact that there is a significant decline in the number of positive cases reported from ... -
Sensor Placement to Improve the Positioning Performance Based on Angle of Arrival (AOA)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)In this paper, a method for sensor placement to improve the placement quality based on angle of arrival of signal in a specific area is proposed. The installation place of sensors may be constrained with specified boundaries. ... -
The Serendipity Theorem for an Endogenous Open Economy Growth Model
(Scientific Research, 2018-04)A Samuelsonian serendipity theorem for an endogenous growth model is derived. The formula for optimal population growth rate deviates from those of the model with exogenous population growth rates in a third best ... -
Sero-epidemiological survey of Coxiella burnetii in livestock and humans in Tana River and Garissa counties in Kenya
(Plos, 2022-03)Background Coxiella burnetii is a widely distributed pathogen, but data on its epidemiology in livestock, and human populations remain scanty, especially in developing countries such as Kenya. We used the One Health ... -
