A Critical Overview of the Kenyan Prisons System: Understanding the Challenges of Correctional Practice
(International Journal of Innovation and Scientific Research, 2014)
Kenya has been widely criticized for its on-going abuse of human rights and corruption in government
administration. Moreover, the prison system in Kenya has been termed to be dilapidated since they were adopted from ...
Mathematical analysis of tip speed ratio of a wind turbine and its effects on power coefficient
(2014)
In this paper we estimate the value of tip speed ratio of a wind turbine and evaluate its effects on power coefficient. The power coefficient, Cp, is achieved at a particular tip speed ratio, β, which is specific to the ...
Some new features of photon statistics in a fully quantized parametric amplification process
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014)
An exact quantum treatment reveals that signal and idler photon number operators are not wellbehaved dynamical operators for studying photon statistics in parametric amplification/downconversion processes. Contrary to ...
Microbial and preservative safety of fresh and processed fruit salads, fruit soft drinks and jam in Kenya
(African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2014)
Fresh fru
its provide vitamins A and C which are anti-oxidants and other
phytochemicals that form a healthy diet and lower the risk of cancer and chronic heart diseases. Kenya’s horticulture production provides 3.82 ...
Spatial variations in nutrients and other physicochemical variables in the topographically closed Lake Baringo freshwater basin (Kenya)
(Lakes & Reservoirs: Research & Management, 2014)
Spatial physicochemical parameters were determined from 39 sampling sites distributed throughout Lake Baringo during December 2010. Mean values of temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration and electrical conductivity ...
Monitoring the occurrence and distribution of selected organophosphates and carbamates pesticide residues in the ecosystem of Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-08-07)
Although use of pesticides is critical in agricultural production, their residues
present a potential risk to non-target organisms and lower the quality of surface
water. In Kenya for instance, widespread use of pesticides ...
Evaluation of sugarcane cropping systems in relation to productivity at Kibos in Kenya
(International Journal of Agricultural Policy and Research Vol.2 (7), pp. 256-266, 2014-07)
Low sugarcane productivity is widespread and has persisted in all zones in western Kenya over the last decade despite the release of many improved sugarcane varieties during the same period. Three sugarcane varieties, two ...
Demystifying the Menstruation Process among the Kenyan Girl-Child “A Period of Shame”: A SocioCultural Perspective
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2014)
This paper provides a critical review of the challenges faced by the girl child during menstruation period. It provides an
analysis of various literatures based on these challenges and thus focuses on the Kenyan girl ...
Removal of tebuconazole from wastewater by zeolite X: kinetics and thermodynamics studies
(2014-08)
Tebuconazole, a widely used fungicide is toxic to the environment and has been
reported as a water contaminant. In this study, the adsorption of aqueous solution
tebuconazole onto faujasite X (NaX) was investigated in ...
Optical properties and Raman studies of amorphous se-bi thin films
(The African Review of Physics, 2014)
Flash evaporated amorphous Se Bi (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 at. %) thin films of 350 ± 10 thickness have been investigated in the wavelength range of 200nm − 3000nm. It is found that the effect of increasing bismuth content ...
