Imputation Techniques In Multivariate Analysis
(University of Nairobi, 1999)
This research deals with the problem of missing data in multivariate
analysis, in the sense that not all variables of interest are measured on every
unit or element of the sample. The emphasis of the thesis is on ...
Copper Indium Diselenide (CIS) Based Solar Cells: Effect Of CIS Preparation Conditions And Thickness On Performance
(University of Nairobi, 1999-09)
The effect of CulnSe, thin film preparation conditions and thickness on CuInSe2 based
solar cells has been investigated. Prior to CuInSe2 thin films and device fabrication,

The problem of detecting defective members In a large population, consisting
of defective and non-defective members has been tackled in various ways One
procedure used in this kind of investigation is the group testing ...
The effects of contour hedgerows (alleycropping) on microclimate, soil and water conservation and competition on sloping lands for sustainable land use in Machakos district, Kenya
(1999)
The research was conducted in a semi-arid land of Kenya prone to

chemical fertilisers can enhance natural food production and thus indirectly provide protein to
complement energy-rich rice bran. ...
Response of acacia tortilis and acacia xanthophloea seedlings to repeated soil drought stress
(1999)
In an attempt to understand how trees overcome drought stress and to
establish mechanisms of stress tolerance in tropical aridland species, seedlings of
Acacia tortilis (Forsk) Hyne and Acacia xanthophloea Benth. were ...
