(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020-08)Corruption is the misuse of power or resources for private gain. This undermines economic development, political stability, and government legitimacy, the society fabric, allocation of resources to sectors crucial for ... -
Thermal Resistivity of Chemically Activated Calcined Clays-Based Cements
(Springer, 2017-10)The study investigated the effects of selected potential chemical activators on thermal resistivity of calcined clay based cement mortars. 0.5 M Na2SO4 and 0.5 M NaOH were used as activator solutions. The chemical ... -
Thermoluminescence of SrAl2O4:Eu2þ, Dy3þ: Kinetic analysis of a composite-peak
(Elsevier, 2016-12)The kinetic analysis of thermoluminescence of beta-irradiated SrAl2O4:Eu2þ,Dy3þ is reported. The glowcurve is dominated by an apparently-single peak. It has been demonstrated using a number of tests including partial ... -
Thermotolerant bacteria of biotechnological potential from hot springs in Eritrea
(2018-06)Thermophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that can withstand and carry out reactions efficiently under high temperatures. This study isolated and characterised thermotolerant bacteria that produce enzymes of potential ... -
Three-dimensional dislocations in a uniform linear array's isotropic sensors-Direction finding's hybrid Cramér-Rao bound
(Acoustical Society of America, 2020-05)The linear array’sone-dimensional spatial geometry is simple but suffices forunivariate direction finding, i.e., isadequate for the estimation of an incident source’s direction-of-arrival relative to the linear ... -
Tied-ridging and soil inputs enhance small-scale maize productivity and profitability under erratic rainfall conditions in central Kenya
(UoEM, 2023)Deficits in soil moisture and low soil fertility are the major constraints to smallholder farming systems in the SSA (sub-Saharan Africa) region. This study evaluated the effects of tied ridging and selected soil fertility ... -
Tobacco Growing Condemning Tobacco Farmers to Poverty in Malakisi, Bumula Sub-County
(World Science and Research Publishing, 2019-07)This paper examines the relationship between tobacco production, food crop growing and food security in Malakisi sub-county of Bungoma County with a view of establishing the effect of tobacco growing on household food ... -
Tomato Leaf miner (Tuta absoluta) (Meyrick 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) prevalence and farmer management practices in Kirinyanga County, Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2018-08)Pest invasion is one of the limiting factors affecting food production. Tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta) (Meyrick 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is an invasive insect pest of tomato. However, In Kenya, there is limited ... -
Towards a national policy to support wastewater reuse in Kenya
(2011)Kenya is a water-scarce country with the capital city, Nairobi, receiving less than 100 l/capita/day. Potable water for irrigation and industrial use is generally unavailable, and this calls for alternative water sources. ... -
Towards an effective Kenyan labour dispute resolution system: A comparison with the South African labour dispute resolution system and International Jurisprudence
(2018)There have been notable concerns in the current dual dispute resolution system in Kenya. The problems include protracted referral timeframes for dismissal disputes, non-regulation of maximum timeframes for the agreed ... -
Toxic cyanobacteria and their toxins in standing waters of Kenya: implications for water resource use
(2006-06)Phytoplankton biodiversity studies in Kenya's standing waters were carried out between 2001 and 2003. Toxin producing cyanobacteria were recorded in twelve water bodies. Microcystis and Anabaena were the most common species ... -
Tracking the Expression of Photosensitive Genic Male Sterility Gene in Rice
(2013-09)Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice lines contain genes that induce complete male sterility in high temperature and long day light length period, but are male fertile under low temperature ... -
Tracking the expression of photosensitive genic male sterility genes in rice
(Academic Journals, 2013-11)Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice lines contain genes that induce complete sterility in high temperature and long day light length period, and revert to fertility in optimum low temperature and short day light ... -
Trait matching of flower visitors and crops predicts fruit set better than trait diversity
(Wiley Online Library, 2015)Summary Understanding the relationships between trait diversity, species diversity and ecosystem functioning is essential for sustainable management. For functions comprising two trophic levels, trait matching between ... -
