Diversity of Culture dependent endophytic bacteria isolated from leguminous agroforestry trees in western Kenya
(Research square, 2022)
Plants have diverse and vast niches colonized by endophytic microorganisms that promote the well being of host plant. These
microbes inhabit internal plant tissues with no signs of ill health. Bacterial endophytes from ...
Phonemic Representation and Transcription for Speech to Text Applications for Under-resourced Indigenous African Languages: The Case of Kiswahili
(Cornell University, 2022)
Building automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems is a challenging task, especially for underresourced languages that need to construct corpora nearly from scratch and lack sufficient training
data. It has emerged that ...
On atomic state purity operator, degree of state purity and concurrence in the JC and anti-JC models
(Maseno University, 2020)
The state of an atom in a bipartite qubit, Jaynes-Cummings (JC) or anti-Jaynes-Cummings (aJC)
interaction is described by a reduced density operator. The purity of the state has been measured by
taking the trace of the ...
Anti-Jaynes-Cummings interaction of a two-level atom with squeezed light: A comparison with the Jaynes-Cummings interaction
(Maseno University, 2022)
We considered the anti-Jaynes-Cummings (AJC) interaction of a two-level atom in
an initial ground state interacting with a field mode in an initial squeezed coherent
state at arbitrary values of squeeze parameter r and ...
Mapping the spatial dimension of food insecurity using GIS‑based indicators: A case of Western Kenya
(Springer, 2022)
Food insecurity elimination is a major focus of the Sustainable Development Goals and addresses one of the most pressing
needs in developing countries. With the increasing incidence of food insecurity, poverty, and ...
Biofloc and green water condition improves reproductive traits and fatty acid composition of Artemia franciscana cultured under limited algal conditions
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2022-11-29)
This study investigated the effect of biofloc and green water conditions on the survival, growth, reproductive traits, and fatty acid composition of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana. Artemia was cultured in glass jars ...
Fish and fish products consumption behaviours and attitudes of farmers in western Kenya.
(ResearchGate, 2022)
Fish and fish products contain high-quality protein of animal origin with essential
bioavailable micronutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.
Although fish contribute to food and nutrition security, ...
Impacts of Covid-19 Pandemic and Adaptive Strategies to Build Resilience in the Kenyan Aquaculture Sector
(ScienceOpen, 2022)
This study examines the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and adaptive strategies to build resilience among stakeholders and actors in the aquaculture value chain in Kenya. Prior to the pandemic, Kenya's aquaculture sector ...
Lake Turkana: Status, challenges, and opportunities for collaborative research
(Elsevier, 2022)
Lake Turkana, located in northwestern Kenya and south-western Ethiopia, is Africa’s fourth largest lake and the world’s largest permanent desert lake. The lake lies in a closed basin and its limnology, ecology, and fisheries ...
Socio-economic consequences of imported frozen tilapia in the Kenyan aquaculture value chain: Strategies for optimizing local unexploited potential
(ScienceOpen, 2022)
The capture fisheries production sector, which is the main source of consumed fish in Kenya has been declining over the years, causing a huge deficit in fish supply in the local market. Even though aquaculture has been ...
