Technical efficiency of the small-scale tea processors in Kenya: a stochastic metafrontier approach
(Emerald, 2020-04)Purpose – Importance of small-scale tea producers in Kenya is not in doubt. They account for 60% of all tea produced in the country, serve about 560,000 tea farmers and employ about 10,000 people directly. However, the ... -
TELECOMMUTING MODEL FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SMES) IN KENYA
(2016-07)The aim of this study was to use adaptive structuration theory as a tool to come up with Telecommuting model that can be adopted by SMEs in Kenya. A survey was done to understand the extent of telecommuting and the ... -
Telomere Length and Accelerated Biological Aging in the China Suboptimal Health Cohort: A Case-Control Study
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2017-06)Suboptimal health status (SHS) has been linked to cardiovascular risk factors, psychosocial stress, and unhealthy lifestyle. These factors also contribute to the shortening of telomere length (TL). A case–control study was ... -
Temporal changes in phytoplankton structure and composition at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir, Kenya
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998)Temporal changes in phytoplankton chlorophyll a, composition, diversity, biomass (density and fresh weight) and primary production were investigated at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir (Kenya) over a two year period (1994 and ... -
Temporal genetic structuring of a specialist parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) attacking a specialist aphid on tansy
(2010-11)In insect species characterized by inbreeding, limited dispersal, and a metapopulation structure, high genetic differentiation and reduced genetic diversity within local populations are expected. Using the model ... -
