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 ...
Surveillance of HIV-1 pol transmitted drug resistance in acutely and recently infected antiretroviral drug-naïve persons in rural western Kenya
(PLOS ONE, 2017-02-08)
HIV-1 transmitted drug resistance (TDR) is of increasing public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa with the rollout of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. Such data are, however, limited in Kenya, where HIV-1 drug resistance ...

Integrated Palliative care approach (IPCA) is an approach that aims to improve the quality of life of people and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief ...
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 ...
Age estimation via face images: a survey.
(EURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing, 2018-06-06)
Facial aging adversely impacts performance of face recognition and face verification and authentication using facial features. This stochastic personalized inevitable process poses dynamic theoretical and practical challenge ...
