Nutritional value and consumption of black ants (Carebara vidua Smith) from the Lake Victoria region in Kenya.
(Airiti library, 2012)
The edible insects of the Lake Victoria region which provided food and medicine, have suffered the effects of mismanaged environment. Our case study of Carebara vidua Smith (black ant) which is an endangered insect currently ...
A simulation model for growth and development of French beans in Kenya
(African Journal of Horticultural Science, 2012-06)
A simulation model was developed to describe French bean growth and development in Kenya. Parameters were estimated using data from a field experiment while a set of four experiments provided data for model evaluation. The ...
The interface between mango value chain analysis and the socioeconomic determinants.
(Holticultural association of Kenya, 2012-06)
The study focused on a value chain analysis geared towards identifying the various, processes, inputs and major players in the mango value chain system. Data was collected from the main actors in the mango value chain at ...
Acceptability of amaranth grain-based nutritious complementary foods with dagaa fish (Rastrineobola argentea) and edible termites (Macrotermes subhylanus) compared to corn soy blend Plus among young children/mothers dyads in Western Kenya
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2012-07-02)
We assessed acceptability of two flours and porridges of complementary foods based on germinated grain amaranth and maize with or without edible termites and dagaa small fish named “Winfood Classic” (WFC) and “Winfood Lite” ...
Dynamics of metal uptake and depuration in a parasitized cyprinid fish (Rastrineobola argentea)
(Elsevier, 2012)
Infestation of fish by endoparasites may potentially influence metal uptake and elimination by the host. We quantified the metal uptake rate constant (ku) and efflux rate constants (ke) of radiolabeled Cd and Co in the ...
Sensitivity of peatland herbaceous vegetation to vapor pressure deficit influences net ecosystem CO2 exchange
(Society of Wetland Scientists, 2012)
Mountain peatlands in the temperate regions represent a small proportion of the global peatland resource, but play a unique, although less recognized role in the regional water and biogeochemical cycles. We conducted leaf ...
Environmental controls on growing-season sap flow density of Quercus serrata Thunb in a temperate deciduous forest of Korea
(Ecological Society of Korea, 2012)
Sap flux density (SFD) measurements were used, in combination with morphological characteristics of trees and forest structure, to calculate whole-tree transpiration, stand transpiration (St) and mean canopy stomatal ...
Mathematics education and use of mathematical language in enhancing understanding of mathematics in secondary schools.
(Mathematics education and use of mathematical language in enhancing understanding of mathematics in secondary schools., 2012-04)
There are many factors attributed to the poor performance of mathematics at high school level, for example, students‟ attitude to mathematics, low cognitive abilities, poor teacher-student relationships, poor study ...
Quantification of ecosystem carbon exchange characteristics in a dominant subtropical evergreen forest ecosystem
(Korean Meteorological Society and Springer Netherlands, 2012)
CO2 fluxes were measured continuously for three years (2003–2005) using the eddy covariance technique for the canopy layer with a height of 27 m above the ground in a dominant subtropical evergreen forest in Dinghushan, ...
