Composite Instructional Method and Its Effect on Secondary School Students’ Academic Achievement in Fluid Flow Physics in Mt Elgon Sub-county, Kenya
(MMUST, 2016)
Physics is one of the sciences that are applicable in day to day life activities. Physics ideas are also
required in other science subjects such as biology and chemistry. It is evident that Physics related courses ...
Probabilistic Flood Maps to support decision-making: Mapping the Value of Information
(Water Resources Research, 2016-01-20)
Floods are one of the most frequent and disruptive natural hazards that affect man. Annually, significant flood damage is documented worldwide. Flood mapping is a common preimpact flood hazard mitigation measure, for which ...
An intercomparison of remote sensing river discharge estimation algorithms from measurements of river height, width, and slope.
(Water Resources Research, 2016-05-13)
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission planned for launch in 2020 will map river elevations and inundated area globally for rivers >100 m wide. In advance of this launch, we here evaluated the ...
Residue levels and discharge loads of antibiotics in wastewater treatment plants ( WWTPs), hospital lagoons, and rivers within Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya.
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2016-08)
The detection of antibiotics in water systems has instigated great environmental concern due to the toxicological effects associated with these compounds. Their discharge into the environment results from the ubiquity of ...
Allellopathic potential of invasive Psidium guajava L., against selected native tree species in Kakamega Tropical Forest, Western Kenya.
(IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences, 2016-05)
Studies have previously attributed P. guajava invasiveness to its aggressive regeneration and profuse seeding. This study, however verified that its allellopathic influence on native plant species also plays an important ...
A Surface Photovoltage Study of Surface Defects on Co-Doped TiO2 Thin Films Deposited by Spray Pyrolysis
(MDPI, 2016-07-22)
Surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying electronic defects on semiconductor surfaces, at interfaces, and in bulk for a wide range of materials. Undoped and Cobalt-doped TiO2 (CTO) thin films ...
DISSOLVED OXYGEN MODELLING USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK: A CASE OF RIVER NZOIA, LAKE VICTORIA BASIN, KENYA
(Journal of Water Security, 2016-10-26)
River Nzoia in Kenya, due to its role in transporting industrial and municipal wastes in addition to agricultural runoff to Lake Victoria, is vulnerable to pollution. Dissolved oxygen is one of the most important indicators ...
