Sensitivity of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Isolates from Diseased Avocado Fruits to Selected Fungicides in Kenya
(Hindawi, 2018)
Colletotrichumgloeosporioides is a serious postharvest pathogen of avocado fruits worldwide. Kenya lacks any registered fungicides
for the management of the disease. Nevertheless, farmers commonly use commercially available ...
Relationship between Spot and Future Prices of Crude Oil: A Cointegration Analysis
(Scientific Research, 2018-02)
The study was intended to reveal the relationship among the spot and future
price of crude oil, which in turn will help in determining the prices of crude
oil. While structuring a portfolio, high correlation among assets ...
Pre-service primary school teachers’ knowledge of informal statistical inference
(Springer Netherlands, 2018-03)
The ability to reason inferentially is increasingly important in today’s society. It is hypothesized here that engaging primary school students in informal statistical reasoning (ISI), defined as making generalizations ...
LiFi is a paradigm-shifting 5G technology
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
In this paper we will first explain what Light-Fidelity (LiFi) is and argue that it is a 5th Generation
(5G) technology. Peak transmission speeds of 8 Gbps from a single light source have been demonstrated,
and complete ...
Elementary Thermal Operations
(2018-02)
To what extent do thermodynamic resource
theories capture physically relevant constraints?
Inspired by quantum computation, we define
a set of elementary thermodynamic gates that
only act on 2 energy levels of a system ...
Effects of drought stress on some agronomic and bio-physiological traits of Trtiticum aestivum, Triticale, and Tritipyrum genotypes
(2018-05)
Drought tolerance is a complex trait that involves different biochemical
and physiological mechanisms in plants. It was the objective of the
present study to evaluate the agronomic and biochemical responses of
triticale, ...
Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement with Partial Lower Sternotomy
(Scientific Research, 2018-06-15)
Objectives: Due to recent spread of minimally invasive surgery, the demand
for minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is increasing. We investigate
the usefulness of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement ...
Impact of rotavirus vaccination on rotavirus hospitalisationrates among a resource-limited rural population in Mbita,Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018-04)
A two-dose oral monovalent rotavirus vaccine (RV1) was introduced into the KenyanNational Immunization Program in July 2014. We assessed trends in hospitalisation for rotavirus-specific acute gastroenteritis (AGE) and strain ...
Classification of derivation algebras in low dimensions
(King Saud University, 2018-01)
A left-symmetric algebra A is said to be a derivation algebra if all its left and right multiplications are derivations of the Lie algebra associated to A. In this paper, we shall study derivation algebras over R and then ...
Effect of liquid nitrogen pre-treatment on various types of wool waste fibres for biogas production
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
This study investigated the role of liquid nitrogen (LN2) in increasing microbial accessibility of wool proteins for biogas production. It involves a mechanical size reduction of four different types of raw wool fibres, ...
