Species composition, abundance and fishing methods of small-scale fisheries in the seagrass meadows of Gazi Bay, Kenya
(Routledge, 2019-05)
Fisheries are important sources of livelihoods to coastal
communities. In the tropics fishing is conducted from mangroves,
seagrass meadows to coral reefs. Studies on fisheries in the
tropics have focused on coral reef ...
Optimizing use of integrated soil fertility management options for profitable groundnut production in Uganda
(2014-09)
Soil fertility decline is a major constraint to groundnut production in Uganda. Whereas options exist to
address this constraint, many have not been adopted by smallholder farmers. This study was designed to
demonstrate ...
Enhancing response farming for improved strategic and tactical agronomic management of risks of seasonal rainfall variability
(AJOL, 2014)
Seasonal rainfall variability, particularly the uncertainty with respect to the direction and extent that variability
will assume in a given season, forms the greatest source of risk to crop production in semi-arid areas ...
Determinants of tax compliance by small and medium businesses in Embu County, Kenya
(2019-04)
Small and medium enterprises are a key engine of economic growth in both developing and
developed countries. Small and medium businesses being profit making institutions are expected
to pay taxes to the government. ...

(2013-10)
study was conducted in West Usambara Mountains, Tanzania to assess stakeholders diverging
interests and emerging resource use conflicts in apiculture with respect to natural resource
management (NRM) by local communities. ...
Fiscal Policy and Public Debt in Kenya

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 ...
Fine particulate matter induces vascular endothelial activation 4 via IL-6 dependent JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway. Toxicol.
(2016-04)
Exposure to PM2.5 has been strongly linked to endothelial dysfunction. However, the underlying mechanism
of PM2.5 on the vascular endothelial function is poorly understood. This study examined the toxic
effect and ...
1H NMR-based metabolomics study on repeat dose toxicity of fine particulate matter in rats after intratracheal instillation
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
Systemic metabolic effects and toxicity mechanisms of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) remain uncertain. In order to investigate the mechanisms in PM2.5 toxicity, we explored the endogenous metabolic changes and ...
