Assessment of Risk Predisposition to Human Papilloma Virus through Cervical Infections Screening of Women Attending an Outpatient Health Facility In Nairobi, Kenya
(2014)
There is limited data on comparative disposition to cervical cancer among HPV infected women in Kenya. We aimed to determine the distribution of HPV infection, cervical abnormalities and infections commonly reported on ...
Occurrence of Ck-1 gene conferring resistance to Coffee Berry Disease in Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 and its parental genotypes
(Scienceweb Publishing, 2014-03)
Resistance to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) in Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 is known to be controlled by among others, the T (Ck-1) gene from Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre). The cultivar reportedly presents significant ...
Effect of Different Watering Regimes on Agromorphology of Selected Coffee Genotypes
(SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2014-01-27)
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different watering regimes on
selected coffee genotypes and to evaluate drought tolerance among selected coffee
genotypes. The study also aimed at determining ...
Mathematical Modelling of Thin Layer Drying Kinetics of Onion Slices Hot-air Convection, Infrared Radiation and Combined Infrared- Convection Drying
(AENSI Publisher, 2014)
Onion slices were dried in convection hot-air, infrared radiation and combined infraredconvection
hot air dryers. A systematic experimental design was applied to analyse
drying kinetics due to the effect of type of dryer, ...
Influence of large woody debris accumulations on macro invertebrate 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 ...
