(University of Nairobi, 2014-05)
Spatial Interpolation Of Daily Rainfall Stochastic Generation Parameters Over East Africa.
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Downscaling seasonal rainfall predictions to daily time-scale, for crop yield simulation for instance, can be performed using stochastic generators (SGs). The spatial interpolation of the SG parameters is required to ...

Enhancing Soil Water Content for Increased Food Production in Semi-Arid Areas of Kenya Results From an On-Farm Trial in Mwala District, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014-03)
Soil water conservation through tillage is one of the appr
opriate ways of addressing soil moisture deficit in
rainfed agriculture. This study evaluated the effects of tillage practices on soil moisture conservation and ...
Application of the Ems-Wrf Model in Dekadal Rainfall Prediction over the GHA Region
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
The IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre exists to monitor and predict the patterns
of rainfall over the greater Horn of Africa region, and provide early-warning products and
information, particularly concerning ...
On the Relationship between Satellite-based Evapotranspiration and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Case Study: Narok County of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
This study sought to unearth a possible relationship between evapotranspiration and Normalized Difference vegetation
index (NDVI). Daily datasets of Evapotranspiration with a pixel resolution of 3km were sourced from ...
Challenges of Cloud Computing in Business: Towards New Organizational Competencies
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
researchers and practitioners as a new Information Technology (IT) paradigm. Cloud computing cannot be
sufficiently understood as a standalone phenomenon in the IT market, but rather as a core ingredient of a larger

Feasibility of Low-Cost Seed Potato Storage in Kenya: The Case of Diffused Light Storage in Nyandarua County
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
An on-farm storage trial was conducted at six sites in Nyandarua County using seed tubers of eight officially recognized Kenyan potato varieties and one commonly grown farmers’ variety called Cangi. The seeds were stored ...
Evaluation of textile substrates for dispensing synthetic attractants for malaria mosquitoes.
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Background
The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing ...
Fish habitat suitability and community structure in the equatorial Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(2014)
Habitat suitability indices indicate how
fish species respond to different habitat types. We
assessed effects of habitat characteristics on fish
distribution in an equatorial lake, Lake Naivasha,
Kenya, where habitats ...
