Interannual variability of NDVI and species richness in Kenya
(International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), 2000)A central task in community ecology is to determine biophysical controls of species richness patterns. Most multivariate models relating environmental characteristics to species richness were developed with sparse point ... -
Local communities and collaborative forest management in West Bugwe Forest Reserve, Eastern Uganda.
(Medwell Publishing, 2013)Bureaucratic controls over natural resources when tightened world over Uganda inclusive have often led to heightened conflicts amongst apparent stakeholders. This has furthered assault on the ecosystem rather than conservation ... -

Biochemical and molecular diagnosis of glutaric aciduria type 1 in a black South African male child: case report
(East African medical journal, 2001)Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-1) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme glutaryl-Co enzyme A dehydrogenase. GA-1 is not uncommon amongst Caucasians but to the best of our knowledge, ... -
Uganda national forestry authority and enforcement of Forestry Policy 2001: a case of South Busoga Forest Reserve, Mayuge district, Eastern Uganda.
(Medwell Publishing, 2012)Conflict of interest between the legislative and executive arms of government trickle down to institutions aligned to the executive, especially environmental bodies in developing countries with the Western democracy of ... -
Politician and the enforcement of the Uganda Forestry Policy 2001: lessons from South Busoga Central Forest Reserve, Mayuge district, Eastern Uganda.
(Medwell Publishing, 2012)There has been a conundrum in apportioning blame on the petering out of forest resources in central forest reserves amongst the politicians; foresters and the local communities engulfing the forest reserves in the post ... -
Compliance and enforcement of environmental policies on natural resources in Uganda: perspectives from South Busoga Forest Reserve.
(Medwell Publishing, 2012)see more details inclusively. The natural resources have been dished out as handouts by politicians or through political influence hence their petering out, hither to government forest reserves inclusively. A study of 344 ... -
Opportunities from Satellite Observation Systems in Climate Risk Mitigation: The Case of Tourism and Hospitality Industry in Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya
(ijsr, 2012)One of the key findings in the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) is that millions of people globally will be exposed to increased water stress due to climate change. With over three quarters of Africa falling under arid and ... -

Norms of Derivations Implemented by S-Universal Operators
(International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2011)Let H be a complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. For A, B ∈ B(H), we define inner derivations implemented by A,B respectively on B(H) by ΔA(X) = AX−XA, ΔB(X) = BX−XB and a ... -
