Demarcating day-light-length from temperature effects in PGMS rice using back tracking method.
(2014)Two near isogenic rice lines ZAU11S106 (Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile) and ZAU11F121(a ZAU11S106 whose PGMS gene has undergone reverse mutation to become a non-PGMS) were used. These two lines were studied to ... -
Diffusivity of Chloride Ion in Mortar Cubes Made Using Ordinary Portland and Portland Pozzolana Cements
(2014)Cement is subject to degradation by aggressive media. This study investigated chloride diffusivity in mortar made from Kenyan cements which included three brands of Ordinary Portland Cements (OPC) and three brands of ... -
Antimicrobial Activity of Warbugia Ugandensis against Gramnegative Multi‐Drug resistant Bacteria
(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, 2014)The rise in antibiotic resistance has resulted in decreasing numbers of effective antimicrobial agents available to treat infections caused by multi‐drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. This has necessitated a search for new ... -
Assessment of Risk Predisposition to Human Papilloma Virus through Cervical Infections Screening of Women Attending an Outpatient Health Facility In Nairobi, Kenya
(2014)There is limited data on comparative disposition to cervical cancer among HPV infected women in Kenya. We aimed to determine the distribution of HPV infection, cervical abnormalities and infections commonly reported on ... -
Mathematical Modelling of Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Onion Slices Hot-air Convection, Infrared Radiation and Combined Infrared- Convection Drying
(AENSI Publisher, 2014)Onion slices were dried in convection hot-air, infrared radiation and combined infraredconvection hot air dryers. A systematic experimental design was applied to analyse drying kinetics due to the effect of type of dryer, ... -
Influence of large woody debris accumulations on macro invertebrate distribution in a low order forested tropical stream, Sagana river, Kenya
(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, 2014)Woody debris accumulations are important ecological components in low order forested streams. They provide forage and refuge for a macroinvertebrates, which are key trophic components for riverine fish. The occurrence ... -

Influence of alkaline earth metal cations; Ca2+, Sr2+ and Ba2+ on the structural and optical properties of MAl2O4: Eu2+, Nd3+ phosphors.
(2014)Eu2+ doped and Nd3+ co-doped MAl2O4:Eu2+, Nd3+ (M = Ca, Sr, and Ba) phosphors were prepared by a solution-combustion method. The obtained powders were investigated in terms of their phase composition, particle morphology ... -
Analysis of factors influencing access to credit services by women entrepreneurs in Kenya
(IISTE, 2014)The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors influencing access to credit services by women entrepreneurs in Kenya; a case of Isiolo town. Entrepreneurship has been regarded as a major contributing factor to the ... -
Application of Marks to Computation of Ranks and Subdegrees of the Symmetric Group Acting on Ordered Pairs and on Ordered Triples
(Uoem, 2014)Ranks and subdegrees can be computed using combinatorial arguments, the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma and use of the concept of marks. However the concept of Marks has been given very little attention. In this paper we will apply ... -

A method to synthesize cDNA constructs by homology based recombination cloning
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-01)We introduce a homology-based recombination approach for generating a cDNA construct. This method depends on amplifying several exon fragments and their fusions by the homology-based recombination. This method provides a ... -
Indigenous approaches for the management of termite and white grub in upland rice
(2014-01)Termites and white grubs are of regional importance in upland rain fed rice. Major insect pests in upland rice are stem borers, gundhi bug, mealy bug, root aphids, white grubs, and termites (Odontotermes obesus and ... -
