Analysis of maize yield responses to climate in the arid and semi arid lands of lower eastern Kenya
(2014)
Climate is key determinant of crop yields under rain fed conditions in Kenya’s dry lands as well as other
parts of the country. Climate variability and change has had adverse effect on maize yields and food
supply in ...
Effects of environmental factors on cyanobacteria dynamics in Lake Baringo, Kenya
(Wiley Online Library, 2014-12-10)
The dominance of cyanobacterial algae in light-limited, shallow freshwater Lake Baringo is a major environmental concern in regard to Kenyan water quality and public health protection agencies. Accordingly, this study ...
Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Selected Kenyan Maize (Zea mays L.) Genotypes by Introgression of Nicotiana Protein Kinase (npk1) to Enhance Drought Tolerance
(American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2014-03)
Currently maize production in the East and Central Africa (ECA) region is at 1.3 tonnes per hectare compared to the potential of up to 7.0 tonnes per hectare because of biotic and abiotic constraints, and this has resulted ...
Flood modelling: parameterisation and inflow uncertainty
(Water Management, 2014-01)
This paper presents an analysis of uncertainty in hydraulic modelling of floods, focusing on the inaccuracy caused by inflow errors and parameter uncertainty. In particular, the study develops a method to propagate the ...
