Effects of Supplemental Irrigation on Crop Yields: Case Study Kales (Brassica Oleracea) Crop
(Journal of Ecological Engineering, 2020-02)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects that supplemental irrigation (SI) has on Kale (Brassica Oleracea) crop yields as compared to wholly rain-fed crop. The experiments were conducted in Kieni, Central Kenya ...
Synthesis, structural assignments and antiinfective activities of 3-O-benzyl-carvotacetone and 3-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-p-benzoquinone.
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
In an attempt to synthesize carvotacetone analogues, new 3-O-benzyl-carvotacetone (10) and previously reported 3-hydroxy-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-p-benzoquinone (11) were synthesized from piperitone (7). In this work, we ...
Appraisal of Land Use Transformation using Remote Sensing in Kajiado County, Kenya
(International Journal of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, 2020-08-11)
Kajiado County is predominantly inhabited by the Maasai nomadic pastoralists who rely on natural systems for their provisions and production needs. Traditionally, communal land management has been the norm in the area but ...
Reverse logistics and competitive advantage: the mediating effect of operational performance among manufacturing firms in Kenya
(European Scientific Journal, 2020-07-31)
Today globally, countries and manufacturing entities alike are concerned with environmental sustainability apart from economic gains. Implementation of reverse logistics programs has been contemplated as a feasible alternative ...
On Unitary Invariance of Some Classes of Operators
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
It is a known fact in operator theory that two similar operators have equal spectra but they
do not necessarily have to belong to the same class of operators. However, under the
stronger relation of unitary equivalence ...
Photo-thermal Conversion Efficiency of Textured and Untextured Aluminum Substrate Coated With Titanium Dioxide (Tio2)-bound Cufemno4 Absorber
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
The possibility of obtaining thermal energy from the sun for household bathing and washing has resulted to growth in market for solar thermal applications with new types of solar absorbers ...
Application of an Organic Plant-derived Binder in the Fabrication of Diatomaceous Earth Waste- Based Membranes for Water Purification Systems
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
This work reports on the use of diatomaceous earth (DE) waste and organic binder derived from Corchorus olitorius, locally known as “Mrenda” in the design of an efficient water filtration membranes. Charcoal powder was ...

(University of Nairobi, 2020)
Innovative mobile money services have grown tremendously in the East African market. While there are positive effects of technology-enabled financial inclusion, risks exist. This study sought to strengthen the capacity of ...
Further remarks on unitary equivalence of some classes of operators in Hilbert spaces
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
n this paper we investigate results on unitary equivalence of operators that include n-binormal, skew
binormal and n-power-hyponormal operators acting on complex Hilbert space H. AMS subject classification ...
