Length of growing season, rainfall temporal distribution, onset and cessation dates in the Kenyan highlands
(Elsevier, 2013-12)Dependence on uncertain rainfall and exposure to unmitigated climate risk are major obstacles in efforts to sustainably intensify agricultural production and enhance rural livelihoods. There is generally enough seasonal ... -
Leveraging on germplasm acquisition for Arabica coffee improvement in Kenya
(Scienceweb Publishing, 2016-01)The low genetic variability within Coffea arabica species is a major hindrance to its improvement. The emergence of new pathogen races, especially for the prevalent fungus Hemileia vastatrix ... -

Library Literacy Program Library as Battleground for Fighting Fakenews
(2019-03-18)Library literacy programs have continued to play a pivotal role in ensuring that students only consume the information necessary to their studies in the wake of fake news. Before the introduction of the Internet as an ... -
A Link Fabrication Attack Mitigation Approach (LiFAMA) for Software Defined Networks
(MDPI, 2022-05)n software defined networks (SDNs), the controller is a critical resource, yet it is a potential target for attacks as well. The conventional OpenFlow Discovery Protocol (OFPD) used in building the topological view for ... -
Local and landscape effects on bee functional guilds in pigeon pea crops in Kenya
(Springer, 2015-07)Pollinators face many challenges within agricultural systems due to landscape changes and intensification which can affect resource availability that can impact pollination services. This paper examines pigeon pea pollination ... -
Local management and landscape drivers of pollination and biological control services in a Kenyan agro-ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2011)Arthropods that have a direct impact on crop production (i.e. pests, natural enemies and pollinators) can be influenced by both local farm management and the context within which the fields occur in the wider landscape. ... -
Localization of Overlaid Text Based on Noise Inconsistencies
(2015-04)In this paper, we present a novel technique for localization of caption text in video frames based on noise inconsistencies. Text is artificially added to the video after it has been captured and as such does not form part ... -

Loss of pod strings in common bean is associated with gene duplication, retrotransposon insertion and overexpression of PvIND
(2022-06)Fruit development has been central in the evolution and domestication of flowering plants. In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), the principal global grain legume staple, two main production categories are distinguished by ... -
Low foristic richness of afro‐alpine vegetation of Mount Kenya is related to its small area
(Springer, 2019-10-29)Diversity patterns of tropical alpine vegetation is poorly studied. We estimated vascular plant floristic richness for two typical afro-alpine communities in Mount Kenya using a series of nested plots sized from 25 to 100 ... -
Low-dose combined exposure of nanoparticles and heavy metal compared with PM2.5 in human myocardial AC16 cells
(Springer, 2017-12)The co-exposure toxicity mechanism of ultrafine particles and pollutants on human cardiovascular system are still unclear. In this study, the combined effects of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) and/or carbon black nanoparticles ... -
A Lower Bound of Estimation Error of an Emitter's Direction-of-Arrival / Polarization, for a Collocated Triad of Orthogonal Dipoles/Loops That Fail Randomly
(2017-04)For a triad of short dipoles (or of small loops), in perpendicular orientation relative to each other but collocated in space, this study derives a lower bound for their error in direction-of-arrival estimation and ... -
Macroeconomic Conditions and Stock Market Liquidity in Kenya
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2020-11)This paper explores the role of macroeconomic conditions on systematic stock market liquidity in Kenya. The study first estimates the monthly probability of liquidity switching from a high to a low liquidity state using ... -
