Genetic Diversity of Cassava Mutants, Hybrids and Landraces Using Simple Sequence Repeat Markers
(SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2014-10-11)
Aims: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a crop with largely unexplored and unexplained potentially valuable genetic variability. The knowledge and understanding of the extent of genetic variation of cassava germplasm ...
A prototype parabolic trough solar concentrators for steam production
(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, 2012)
In this work, the potential for a solar-thermal concentrator to produce steam has
been studied. Three parabolic trough solar concentrators (PTSCs) of dimensions: -
aperture width of 1.2 m, Collector length of 5.8 m and ...
Occurrence and distribution of soil nematodes in cotton production areas of Kenya.
(2010)
A baseline survey was conducted to determine the occurrence and distribution of soil nematodes associated with cotton in major growing areas in Kenya. Such baseline data on soil nematode abundance, diversity and ecosystem ...
Evaluating diversity among Kenyan sweet potato genotypes using morphological and SSR markers
(2010)
Genetic diversity of 89 sweet potato genotypes was evaluated using morphological and
molecular markers. Eighteen aerial and sixteen storage root characters were used in the
morphological characterization. Analysis of ...
Aperture Maximization with Half-Wavelength Spacing, via a 2-Circle Concentric Array Geometry that is Uniform but Sparse
(2019-05)
This paper proposes a new sensor-array geometry (the 2-circle concentric array geometry),
that maximizes the array's spatial aperture mainly for bivariate azimuth-polar resolution of
direction-of-arrival estimation ...
Teachers’ Selected Factors on Truancy among Adolescents in Secondary Schools in Kenya
(SciePub, 2019-03)
The study investigated the contributions of teachers’ factors on truancy among adolescents in secondary schools in Manyatta, Embu County, Kenya. A survey design was employed. The respondents were three hundred and twenty ...
Methods for early evaluation for resistance to bacterial blight of coffee
(Academic Journals, 2013)
Bacterial Blight of Coffee (BBC) caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv garcae has become of major concern in Kenya due to its increasing incidence and severity. For decades, the disease was confined within and to the west of ...
Measuring progress from 1990 to 2017 and projecting attainment to 2030 of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals for 195 countries and territories: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Background Efforts to establish the 2015 baseline and monitor early implementation of the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) highlight both great potential for and threats to improving health by 2030. To fully
deliver ...
INFLUENCE OF LARGE WOODY DEBRIS ACCUMULATIONS ON MACROINVERTEBRATE DISTRIBUTION IN A LOW ORDER FORESTED TROPICAL STREAM, SAGANA RIVER, KENYA
(Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, 2014)
Woody debris accumulations are important ecological components in low order
forested streams. They provide forage and refuge for a macroinvertebrates, which
are key trophic components for riverine fish. The occurrence ...
Performance of Potential Pozzolanic Cement in Chloride media
(2014-04)
The paper presents finding of the pozzolanic activity of calcined clays from selected regions of Embu County – Kenya. The results are also presented for the compressive strength development and Chloride ingress resistance ...
