Tillage and Farmyard Manure Effects on Crusting Compacting Soils at Katumani, Semi-arid Kenya
(2008)In semi-arid Kenya, the most dominant soil types are of limited agricultural productivity due to crusting and compaction. The occurrence of soil crusting and compaction is attributed to seasonal rainfall characteristics, ... -
Watershed conservation in semi-arid Kenya
(2005)Over the past three decades, agricultural watersheds in semi-arid Kenya have experienced some rapid decline in soil and crop productivity due to severe soil erosion, low soil water, low soil fertility and high soil crusting ... -
Analysis of agricultural drought in Iiuni, Eastern Kenya: application of a Markov model
(2005)In semi-arid Kenya, episodes of agricultural droughts of varying severity and duration occur. The occurrence of these agricultural droughts is associated with seasonal rainfall variability and can be reflected by seasonal ... -
Origin, application, and design of the fanya juu terrace
(1991)The fanya juu terrace is a structural method of soil conservation that has been widely practiced on small, labour-intensive farms in Kenya. Attempts have been made to introduce it elsewhere as well. "Fanya juu" is the ... -
Nonlinear mixed effect modelling for improved estimation of water retention and infiltration parameters
(2006)Accurate estimation of soil hydraulic functions is an important topic in soil physics and hydrology. Soil scientists and hydrologists use experimental data to derive parameters of the hydraulic functions, and when measurements ... -
Tillage methods and soil and water conservation in eastern Africa
(1993)This paper reviews some research studies on tillage methods influencing soil and moisture conservation in the eastern African countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Ethiopia during the past four decades. Most of these ... -
Distress Features Of Flexible Road Pavement In Kenya
(1982)The direct use of pavement design methods, generally originating from Europe, in tropical countries such as Africa has in several cases led to premature pavement failure so causing unplanned expenditure in the repair of ... -
Mechanical properties of granular materials as related to loads in cylindrical grain silos
(1987)Physical quantities thought to be pertinent to the development of loads in cylindrical silos filled with granular materials were identified. The principles of similitude and dimensional analysis were used to formulate, ... -
Nairobi solid waste management practices: Need for improved public participation and involvement
(2010)In the globalized world, the current focus in municipal waste management is on the development of sustainable and integrated waste management system, where the central role would be played by the public through effective ... -
Friction coefficient of cereal grains on various surfaces
(1990)The static coeff. of friction of 3 materials which could be used in the construction of silos were determined for oats and shelled maize at different m.c. within a range of 10-20% (w.b.). In general, the coeff. increased ... -
Status Of ILabs In Sub-Sahara Africa (iLabs-Africa)

A Model Hardness for Heat-Affected Zone Profiles in AI-Li-X Alloys
(1998)A model based on reaction kinetics and elemental diffusion is proposed to account for the presence of double inflection in the hardness profiles of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in weldments of AI-Li-X alloys tested ... -
