Analysis of soil for trace elements along two highways of Kenya
(1998)
For a long time, the toxicity of metals was
considered as an occupational hazard.
Industrialization, urbanization, increased
vehicular traffic and use of fertilizers and
pesticides in agriculture have resulted in
increased ...
Patterns of Aerial Triangulation by Independent Models
(1992)
The position of the non-zero elements in the coefficient matrix of the reduced normal equations are directly
defined based on the existence of tie points between the models. The shape and the size of the matrix and
the ...
A Model Hardness for Heat-Affected Zone Profiles in AI-Li-X Alloys
(1998)
A model based on reaction
kinetics and elemental diffusion is proposed
to account for the presence of
double inflection in the hardness profiles
of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in weldments
of AI-Li-X alloys tested ...
Influence of tillage practice and draft power requirements and resultant soil micro-structure System System
(1999)
We investigated whether resistant pollen genotypes can be selected for when the maternal plants are infected and whether infection can result to changes in the pistil nutrient level influencing reproductive outcome. Both ...
The Land Use Planning in Provincial Towns of Kenya
(1993)
The Kenya Government has over a number of years pursued policies geared towards the promotion of secondary towns. Included in this strategy is the achievement of an orderly and coordinated urban land development. However, ...
Ecology of increasing disease, population growth, and environmental degradation.
(1998)
The World Health Organization (WHO) and other organizations report that the prevalence of human diseases during the past decade is rapidly increasing. Population growth and the pollution of water, air, and soil are ...
A seasonal air transport climatology for Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1999-06)
A climatology of air transport to and from Kenya has been developed using
kinematic trajectory modeling. Significant months for trajectory analysis have been
determined from a classification of synoptic circulation fields. ...
Direct Shear Box And Ring Shear Test Comparison: Why Internal Angle Of Friction Vary
(1999)
The direct shear box and the ring shear test as conventionally used for measuring the strength parameters of
soil for use in classical stability analyses have the major disadvantage that the stress conditions in the ...
How reliable are cylinder infiltrometers in determining the infiltration characteristic of a soil?
(1994)
A number of methods are discussed for obtaining a reasonable estimate of the infiltration function for irrigation borders. Data from ring infiltrometers are fit to power functions for infiltration rate and cumulative ...
Functions of Juakali Artisans
(1994)
Mounting demographic pressures, rising unemployment among school leavers, the rising cost of education against diminishing resources and shrinking jobs in both formal public and private sectors are some of the key challenges ...
