Adaptation to Rainfall Variability by Smallholder Farmers in Kwale County: A Case Study of Samburu and Tsimba Locations
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2013-10)
Rainfall received in Kwale County is highly variable negatively affecting agricultural production. Due to these
variations, smallholder farmers in Kwale County have attempted to implement various adaptation mechanisms ...
THE BIO-ECOLOGICAL DYNAMICS AND EFFICACY OF A FIELD INTEGRATED CONTROL STRATEGY OF INVASIVE PEST, Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle, IN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) has been recorded in many tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world as a gall wasp attacking Eucalyptus species. Chemical control strategy is hampered by ...
PHASE BEHAVIOUR OF L62 AND P104 IN WATER AND BENZYL ALCOHOL MIXTURES AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF L62, P104 and BRIJ-78 AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The isothermal ternary phase and aggregation behaviour of amphiphilic co-polymer-water-benzyl alcohol systems was investigated for the two non-ionic surfactant systems: L-62 and P104 at 25 C. The phase boundaries were ...
SYNTHESIS, SPECTRAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES OF HETEROBIMETALLIC COMPLEXES CONTAINING MOLYBDENUM (V) LINKED TO NICKEL AND COBALT SCHIFF BASE COMPLEXES
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
In this thesis, the synthesis, characterization and electrochemical studies of monometallic and bimetallic complexes of schiff base ligands have been undertaken. Synthesis of bimetallic complexes initially involved preparation ...

(University of Eldoret, 2013)
River impoundments transform lotic aquatic systems to lentic with changes in
physical and chemical properties, biotic assemblage and productivity. Chebara
reservoir is located at 3605E and 022S and situated within ...
EFFECTS OF CROPPING SYSTEMS, NUTRIENT LEVELS AND CROP RESIDUE APPLICATION ON SOIL ORGANIC CARBON CONTENT UNDER MINIMUM TILLAGE EXPERIMENT IN TESO DISTRICT, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Minimum tillage practice and the use of cropping systems that maximize crop residue addition to the soil have been efficient agricultural practices in maintaining or increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) which, though central ...
SCREENING FOR STEM RUST RESISTANCE IN MUTANT BARLEY (Hordeum vulgare L.) LINES
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Stem rust is a devastating disease in barley that is caused by a fungi (Puccinia graminis f.sp tritici, Eriks. and E. Henn).The disease has been controlled for quite some time due to the presence of cultivars carrying the ...
EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON METAL OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR CHARACTERISTICS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a transistor used
for amplifying and switching on circuits. In this study, the MOSFET parameters were
computationally modeled, analysed and presented. The ...
