Mobile Interfaced Crops Diagnosis Expert System (MICDES): a case for rural Kenyan farmers
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2012)
This paper describes a prototype case-based reasoning expert system
that enables farmers to get assistance with crop diagnostics and other extension
services through the web via a dynamic website or through mobile phones. ...
Internet Utilization: A Case of Connected Rural and Urban Secondary Schools in Kenya
(2010)
This paper looks at the utilization of the Internet among teachers and students in connected rural and urban
secondary schools in Kenya. A conceptual framework composed of variables which can explain Internet
utilization ...
Numerical simulation of vibration of horizontal cylinder induced by progressive waves
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Maritime structures often comprise cylinders of small diameter relative to the prevailing wave length. This paper describes the direct forcing immersed boundary simulation of the hydroelastic behaviour of a rigid, horizontal ...
Effect of Annealing and Surface Passivation on Doped SnO2 Thin FilmsPrepared by Spray Pyrolysis Technique
(2015)
In this study doped SnO2 thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis technique using an alcoholic precursor
solution consisting of stannic chloride (SnCl4.5H2O), ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and palladium chloride (PdCl2). ...
Anatomical features of renal artery in a black Kenyan population: Correlation with markers of atherosclerosis
(2016)
Knowledge of anatomical features of the renal artery is important in prediction, management and control of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. These features show population variations but data from black African ...
A robust magnetic resonance imaging method based on compressive sampling and clustering of sparsifying coefficients
(Kiragu H, Kamucha G, Mwangi E. A Robust Magnetic Resonance Imaging Method Based on Compressive Sampling and Clustering of Sparsifying Coefficients. Limassol, Cyprus ; 2016., 2016)
This paper presents a novel and robust method for medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The proposed method utilizes the sparsity as well as clustering of the image coefficients in the wavelet transform sparsifying ...
Effects of antioxidants on oxidation and storage stability of Croton megalocarpus biodiesel
(Springer, 2016)
The effects of antioxidants and storage on oxidation stability of croton biodiesel and its blends with petro-diesel were determined using PetroOxy equipment. The biodiesel and blends were kept in Pyrex reagent bottles and ...
Identification Key for Aspergillus Species Isolated from Maize and Soil of Nandi County, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The aim of this study was to identify Aspergillus species isolated from maize kernels and soils of maize fields of Nandi County using macro and micro morphological characteristics. A cross sec- tional research design was ...
Prevalence of abnormal sternal angles in a Kenyan population
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Abnormal sternal angles are unique anatomical variations of major clinical significance. For instance, misplaced sternal angles may cause inaccurate numbering of ribs and thus complicate intercostal nerve blocks and needle ...
A note on quasi-similarity of operators in Hilbert spaces
(2015)
In this paper we introduce the notion of Quasi-similarity of bounded linear operators in Hilbert Spaces. We do so by defining a quasi- affinity from one Hilbert Space H to K. Some results on quasi- affinities are also ...
