Development of Reflectance Spectral Libraries for Characterization of Soil Properties
(Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2002)
Methods for rapid estimation of soil properties are needed for
quantitative assessments of land management problems. We developed
a scheme for development and use of soil spectral libraries for
rapid nondestructive ...
Bathymetry of lake Bogoria, Kenya
(Nature Kenya/East African Natural History Society, 2003)
This paper presents the first bathymetric map for the approximately 17 km by 2 km
alkaline Lake Bogoria situated in the eastern Rift Valley of Kenya. Longitudinal and
transverse cross sections of the lake are also ...
A reappraisal of the geology, structures and tectonics of the Mozambique belt East of the Kenya Rift System
(2001)
The largest segment of the Neoproterozoic Mozambique belt in Kenya occurs east
of the north-south oriented Rift system. Geological works carried out in the country during the
last few decades have progressively revealed ...
Breeding Cycle of Thalamita crenata (Latreille, 1829) at Gazi Creek (Maftaha Bay), Kenya
(2002)
Thalamita crenata (Latreille, 1829) is a crustacean decapod that occurs in inter- and
sub-tidal environments in the main water channels of the eastern Africa coast. The sandy pools
at Gazi creek are areas for artisanal ...
Transgenic mosquitoes and the fight against malaria: managing technology push in a turbulent GMO world.
(2007)
Genetic modification (GM) of mosquitoes (which renders them genetically modified organisms, GMOs) offers opportunities for controlling malaria. Transgenic strains of mosquitoes have been developed and evaluation of these ...
Holocene palaeohydrology, groundwater and climate change in the lake basins of the Central Kenya Rift
(Taylor & Francis, 2009)
The Central Kenya Rift contains small soda lakes such as Nakuru, Elmenteita and Bogoria, freshwater Lake Naivasha, and the partly (spatially) freshwater Lake Baringo. The hydrology of this area is controlled mainly by ...
Head blight of wheat in Kenya and contamination of grain with mycotoxin producing Fusarium species
(2008)
The study was carried out during the 2006 cropping season in Nakuru district, Kenya. Incidence and severity of head blight were determined and pathogens isolated from diseased wheat heads, wheat and maize kernels. Mycotoxin ...
A reappraaisal of the geology, geochemistry, structures and tectonics of the Mozambique belt in Kenya, east of the rift system
(University of Nairobi., 2003)
The largest segment of the Neoproterozoic Mozambique belt in Kenya occurs east of the north-south oriented Rift system. Geological works carried out in the country during the last few decades have progressively revealed ...
Management of Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thr ipidae) on French Beans (Fabaceae) ir Kenya: Economics of Insecticide Applications
(Academic Journals Inc., 2008)
TIlls study was conducted to measure economic benefit of using different spray
schedules to control thrips on French beans. It was done using different spray regime
scenarios of two insecticides: Lambda cyhalothrin (Karate ...
Fracture strength of porous ceramics: stress concentration vs minimum solid area models
(2004)
In this study, we have reviewed recently published strength-porosity data of porous
ceramics, and compared these data with those computed from both the minimum contact solid area
(MCA) and the pore stress concentration ...
