(2016-11)Foreign Aid, Foreign Direct Investment and Remittances remain important and stable source of foreign capital inflows to developing countries, as they bring in large amounts of foreign currency that help sustain the balance ... -
Foreign direct investment, institutional quality and economic growth in Kenya
(2016-07)The study was done to investigate the effect of FDI on economic growth in Kenya, to determine the influence of institutional quality on the effect of FDI on economic growth, and to determine the effects of structural ... -
Foreign equity flows and stock market liquidity in Kenya
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-06)In this paper, we explore the dynamic relationship between aggregate foreign equity inflows and aggregate liquidity of the Kenyan stock market using transactional foreign trading data and several liquidity ... -
Free-living nematode assemblages associated with maize residues and their ecological significance
(2021)Return of plant residues to the soil is a sustainable way of enhancing plant growth, health, and levels of soil quality. In Kenya, maize plant residues are the most commonly returned plant material in many agro-ecosystems. ... -
From Shiny Shoes to Muddy Reality: Understanding How Meso-State Actors Negotiate the Implementation Gap in Participatory Forest Management
(Routledge, 2017-11)Recent research on participatory forest management (PFM) in the global south has highlighted the existence of a widespread “implementation gap” between the ambitious intent enshrined in legislation and the often partial, ... -

Gender and cognitive factors influencing information seeking of graduate students at Kenyatta University Library
(2020-07)Background: Gender has been identified as a possible influencing factor in users’ information- seeking process. Previous studies have alluded to the fact that gender as a variable may be useful for a better understanding ... -
Gender-specific determinants of Zai technology use intensity for improved soil water management in the drylands of Upper Eastern Kenya
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-06-01)Degraded landscapes and soil water stress are long-standing problems to smallholder agriculture in the drylands. Despite the important roles of zai technology in restoring degraded landscapes and improving agricultural ... -
Gene expression profiles and bioinformatics analysis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells exposed to PM2.5
(Elsevier, 2017-05)Cardiovascular system is demonstrated the main target of PM2.5 and the objective of this study was to explore the toxic effect and molecular mechanisms caused by PM2.5 in primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells ... -
Gene profiles to characterize the combined toxicity induced by low level co-exposure of silica nanoparticles and benzo[a]pyrene using whole genome microarrays in zebrafish embryos.
(Elsevier, 2018-07)Several studies have suggested that air pollutants combine exposure have greater adverse effects. However, limited studies were available on the combined toxicity of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). ... -
Genetic Characterization of Arabusta Coffee Hybrids and their Parental Genotypes using Molecular Markers
(2015)Twenty coffee genotypes were characterized comprising of eleven F1 interspecific Arabusta hybrids, three induced tetraploid Robusta parental genotypes, four Arabica parental genotypes, one diploid Robusta accession and ... -
Genetic diversity among commercial coffee varieties, advanced selections and museum collections in Kenya using molecular markers
(Academic Journals, 2012-02)Molecular markers have effectively been applied to study genetic diversity and as markers of particular traits. This study assessed the diversity of twenty four (24) coffee genotypes using 10 Random Amplified Polymorphic ... -
