Performance chacterization of a dye-sensitized photovoltaic module under tropical weather conditions: the case of Nairobi, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2012)
The performance of a Dye-sensitized solar module (DSSM) of active area 175.12 cm has been investigated at a tropical climate area at co-ordinates 35.81 ᄚ East, 1.280 South. Investigation of the DSSM's performance parameters; ...
Interactions of Fusarium species during prepenetration development
(ª 2012 The British Mycological Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd, 2012-05)
Interspecies interactions between Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium graminearum,
Fusarium poae, and Fusarium tricinctum were studied during early growth stages of
isolates on model surfaces. Additionally, ...
Prevalence of livestock diseases and their impact on livelihoods in Central Equatoria State, southern Sudan
(© 2011 Elsevier B.V., 2012)
A participatory epidemiological (PE) study was conducted in Kajo Keji and Yei Counties, Central
Equatoria State, southern Sudan to assess the impact of livestock diseases on livelihoods.
A serological survey of tick-borne ...
Management of thrips (Thrips tabaci) in bulb onion by use of vegetable intercrops
(© International Academic Journals, 2012-05)
Field experiments were conducted between July 2008 and May 2009 to evaluate the effectiveness of intercropping carrot (Daucus carota), spider plant (Cleome gynandra) and French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) with onion in the ...
The performance of plant species in removing nutrients from stormwater in biofiltration systems in Cape Town
(2012)
In 2009, the City of Cape Town (CoCT) adopted a stormwater policy which mandates that new and existing developments
should reduce the concentration of phosphorus and suspended solids in stormwater runoff by 45% and 80%, ...
Spectral analysis of ground magnetic data in Magadi area, Southern Kenya rift
(2012)
The area surrounding Lake Magadi in the southern Kenya rift is characterized by hot springs that
issue from fractures distributed along the shores of the lake. Presence of earthquake swarms that
cluster in northern margin ...
Electronics of Conjugated Polymers (I): Polyaniline
(2012)
Conducting polymers have elicited much interest among researchers because of their reasonably good
conductivity, stability, ease of preparation, affordability and redox properties compared to other
organic compounds. In ...
Comparison of GPS TEC variations with IRI-2007 TEC prediction at equatorial latitudes during a low solar activity (2009–2011) phase over the Kenyan region
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
This work presents an analysis of the Total Electron Content (TEC) derived from the International GNSS Service (IGS) receivers at Malindi (mal2: 2.9oS, 40.1oE, dip −26.813o), Kasarani (rcmn: 36.89oE, 1.2oS, dip −23.970o), ...
Feasibility for direct rapid energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and scattering analysis of complex matrix liquids by partial least squares
(University of Nairobi, 2012-11)
The greatest challenge to material characterization by XRF technique is encountered in direct trace analysis of complex matrices. We exploited partial least squares (PLS) in conjunction with energy dispersive X-ray ...
