Using fuzzy cognitive maps in modelling and representing weather lore for seasonal weather forecasting over east and Southern Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2017)The creation of scientific weather forecasts is troubled by many technological challenges while their utilization is dismal. Consequently, the majority of small-scale farmers in Africa continue to consult weather lore to ... -
Using GPS-SCINDA observations to study the correlation between scintillation, total electron content enhancement and depletions over the Kenyan region
(University of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 2012-05)This paper presents the first results of total electron content (TEC) depletions and enhancement associated with ionospheric irregularities in the low latitude region over Kenya. At the low latitude ionosphere the diurnal ... -
Using internal plant water status as a criterion for scheduling irrigation in coffee in east of rift valley Kenya
(School of Biological Sciences, 1999)Relationship between leaf water potential and leaf growth rate is examined with the aim of determining the critical leaf water potential at which coffee leaves cease to grow. This was done in order to augment information ... -
Using Landsat Imagery to Analyse Land Cover Change in the Njoro Watershed, Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2005)In developing nations where resources are scarce and increased population pressures create stress on available resources. methods are needed to examine effects of human migration and resultant changes in land cover. ... -
Using Nylon Strips to Dispense Mosquito Attractants for Sampling the Malaria Vector Anopheles gambiae s.s.
(Entomological Society of AmericaDepartment of Zoology, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, KenyLondon School of Hygiene and Tropical MedicineDurham University, School of Biological Sciences, South Road, Durham, United KingdomLiverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Pembroke Place, Liverpool, L3 5QA, United Kingdom, 2010)Synthetic versions of human derived kairomones can be used as baits when trapping host seeking mosquitoes. The effectiveness of these lures depends not only on their attractiveness to the mosquitoes but also on the medium ... -
Using spectral subspaces to improve infrared spectroscopy prediction of soil properties
(2015)We propose a method for improving soil property predictions using local calibration models trained on datasets in spectral subspaces rather that in a global space. Previous studies have shown that local calibrations based ... -
