Screening for Water Deficit Tolerance, Relative Growth Analysis and Agrobacterium-Infectivity in Tropical Maize [Zea Mays L.] Inbred Lines in Nairobi, Kenya
(2014-12)
The gap between maize demand and regional supply is increasing as small-holder farmers grapple with many challenges, key among them drought. Research in identifying maize lines that are tolerant to water deficit and that ...
Effects of Temperature on Ilmenite During Concentration of Iron in Laterites Using Charcoal and Separation using Magnetic Separation
(IJSET, 2014-06)
Effect of temperature on ilmenite minerals found
in laterites has been investigated. It was found that during
reduction of iron minerals in laterites to magnetite using
charcoal at temperatures of about 500-700oC, ...

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 ...
Response of Selected Kenyan Rice Cultivars to Infection by Root Knot Nematode (Meloidogyne incognita)
(Springer, 2019-03-22)
Meloidogyne incognita causes huge yield losses in rice which is the third most important cereal crop in Kenya. The aim of
this study was to identify M. incognita-resistant rice cultivars from Kenya and relate the responses ...
The optimum settings of culture conditions for optimum growth of kefir grains for nutrition and health using RSM with BBD
(2016)
This thesis provides the process used to optimize the growth of kefir grains for nutrition and health to
yield the optimal size of the kefir grain. This combined process was successfully modeled and optimized
by response ...
Effects of Culture Conditions on Growth of Kefir Grains using Milk for Nutrition and Health: An Application of Response Surface Methodoly with Box-behnken Design
