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 ...
Effect of Ga Incorporation and Film Thickness on the Optical Properties of as-Deposited Amorphous GaxSel-x Thin Films

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
tr ...
Investigating the Homogeneity of Monthly Rainfall Records in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Homogenization of climate data is of major importance because non-climatic factors make avail-able data unrepresentative of the actual climate variation, and thus the conclusions of climatic and hydrological studies are ...
Comparing the Performance of Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machines in Text Classification
(2015)
Classification is a supervised learning task whose goal is to infer a prediction model using a training dataset containing instances whose category membership is known, and then using the model to assign class labels to ...
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 ...
Status of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors in Kwale County, Coastal Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2018-01)
BACKGROUND:
The strategy for malaria vector control in the context of reducing malaria morbidity and mortality has been the scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets to universal coverage and indoor residual spraying. ...
