Temporal hydrologic response of unstable crusting soils in Semi- arid areas of Kenya
(1998)
Over the past three decades, agricultural watersheds in semi-arid Kenya
have experienced some rapid decline in soil and crop productivity due to severe soil
erosion, low soil water, low soil fertility and high soil ...
The effect of welding on the fatigue crack growth rate in a structural steel
(1993)
Fracture mechanics principles
have been used to study the effects
of welding on the rate of fatigue crack
growth (FCG) in a low-carbon structural
steel. The steel concerned is used widely
in the fabrication of the ...
A Model for HAZ Hardness Profiles in AI-Li-X Alloys: Application to the AI-Li-Cu Alloy 2095
(1998)
In a previous paper (Ref. 1),
details were presented of a theoretical
model describing the evolution of the
hardness profiles in the heat-affected
zones (HAZ) of AI-Li-X weldments. The
intent of the model was to ...
Water Balance of The Mtera ? Kidatu Reservoir 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 ...
Making waters
(1994)
In the past 10 years the strategy of the Kenya
Government has shifted from expansion of largescale
irrigation schemes to the development of
smallholder irrigation systems. Since 1992,
the Government has adopted a ...
Workplace monitoring and occupational health studies in Kenya using nuclear and related analytical techniques
(Institute Of Nuclear Science, University Of Nairobi, Kenya, 1997)
Air pollution studies in Nairobi are indicating a rising trend in the particulate matter loading. The trend is
mainly attributed to increased volume of motor vehicles, the physical change of the environment,
agricultural ...
Heavy metal analysis of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and other samples from some workplaces in Kenya
(1998)
Air pollution studies in Nairobi are indicating a rising trend in the particulate matter loading. The trend is mainly attributed to increased volume of motor vehicles, the physical change of the environment, agricultural ...
Prospects of Establishing Food Irradiation Facilities in Kenya
(1997)
A national project of food irradiation in the country is being proposed. At present there
are no facilities for food irradiation (and food irradiation research) in Kenya. This report
is therefore largely comparative ...
Effect of ageing of bitumen on performance of asphalt pavements in tropical environments
(1994)
Experience with bituminous surfaced roads in Kenya indicates a deterioration of asphaltic surfacings is manifested mainly by cracking early at their service-life. This paper reviews some previous works and describes the ...
