Farmers willingness to pay and the sustainability of irrigated maize production in rural Kenya
(2017)
This paper evaluated farmers willingness to pay for irrigated maize production using field level data collected through a cross sectional survey. The results showed that 78% of the farmers were willing to pay more than the ...
Synthesis, mosquito repellence and apoptotic activity of functionalized monoterpenes.
(2011-07)
The investigations whose results are reported in this Thesis involved the synthesis of variously functionalized p-methane based epoxides, hydroxylated derivatives, β-amino alcohols, β-hydroxy sulphides and C-gycosidic ...
The Exponentially Modified Gaussian Function as a Tool for Deconvolution of Astroparticle Physics data.
(University of Siegen, 2016-03)
An analysis of the mass composition of UHECRs based on the Xmax elongation rate (ER) within the energy range 1017.8−1020.0eV is performed, using Xmax data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory from December 2004 to ...
Reconstruction of vegetation index and Phenology lab enhanced vegetation index record: An application of weak solution to stochastic partial differential equations approach
(JOOUST School of Mathematics & Actuarial Sciences, 2016-05)
A long-term record of the Earth’s vegetation index record is important in studies of global climate change and feedbacks. Over the last three decades, many satellite based sensor platforms have generated multiple vegetation ...
Genetic Characterization and Symbiotic Effeciency of Root Nodule Bacteria which Nodulate Bambara Groundnuts (Vigna Subterranea (L.) Verdc|) and Soyabeans (Glycine max (L.) Merril) fom Selected Sites in Lake Victoria Basin, Western Kenya
(JOOUST, 2015)
Soybeans [Glycine max Merr.] and bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterranea L.Verdc) are nutritionally important legume crops capable of forming nitrogen (N) fixing symbiosis with a distinct group of soil bacteria, generally ...
Stochastic Modeling of Road Accidents Using Poisson and Negative Binomial as th Error Term Distributions Assuming Polynomial Priors
(JOOUST, 2016)
Cloud computing is a technological paradigm that enables computer users to access computing applications and services on a pay-as-you-use model. Over the years, the adoption of cloud computing by cloud service providers ...
