Major heretofore intractable biotic constraints to African food security that may be amenable to novel biotechnological solutions
(2004-08)
The input costs of pesticides to control biotic constraints are often prohibitive to the subsistence farmers of Africa and seed based solutions to biotic stresses are more appropriate. Plant breeding has been highly ...
Simulation of nitrate distribution under drip irrigation using artificial neural networks
(University of Nairobi, 2004-04)
Accurate knowledge of nitrate distribution in the soil under fertigation through drip-irrigation systems is fundamentally important for system design and management. The determination of nitrate distribution through modeling ...
Potential use of rhizobial bacteria as promoters of plant growth for increased yield in landraces of African cereal crops
(2004)
Rhizobia form root nodules that fix nitrogen (N2) in symbiotic legumes. Extending the ability of these bacteria to fix N2 in non-legumes such as cereals would be a useful technology for increased crop yields among resource-poor ...
Salicylate poisoning in children: report of three cases
(University of Nairobi, 2004)
To raise clinicians' awareness of chronic (therapeutic) salicylate poisoning as a common cause of admission in paediatric patients presenting to hospital with respiratory distress (a clinical manifestation of metabolic ...

A Hybrid Finite Element/Moment Method For Solving Electromagnetic Radiation Problem Of Arbitrarily-Shaped Apertures In A Thick Conducting Screen
(2004)
In this paper a hybrid numerical technique is presented for characterization of the transmission
properties of a three-dimensional slot in a thick conducting plane. The slot is of arbitrary shape and is excited by an ...
