(American Chemical Society, 2012-05-17)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) continue to be the major source of direct and indirect air pollution. Here, cryptomelane-type octahedral molecular sieve (OMS-2) manganese oxide, amorphous manganese oxide (AMO), and mixed ... -
A Gaze at the Place of the Female Figure in Post-Apartheid South Africa: Case of Zukiswa Wanner’s the Madams
(THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES & SOCIAL STUDIES, 2019-07)The black race was severely disadvantaged in apartheid South Africa. Specifically, black women were doubly disadvantaged; first by the color of their skin, and secondly, by lack of tangible income. History has shown that ... -
A Gender Community Outreach for Girls Living in Vulnerable Contexts: Experiences from School Literacy Clubs in Tharaka Nithi County, Kenya
(Allen Institute, 2020-05)The Kenya Constitution (2010) has deliberately attempted to remedy the traditional exclusion of women and has promoted their full involvement in every aspect of growth and development. It is indeed true that when women ... -
GENDER DISPARITIES AND SUSTAINABLE WILDLIFE ECOSYSTEM: A CASE OF MAASAI MARA CONSERVANCIES NAROK COUNTY, KENYA
(CHUKA UNIVERSITY, 2021)Gender equity and women’s empowerment are prerequisites to effective biodiversity conservation, climate action and meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. In view of its ecological, social and economic value, wildlife ... -
Gender Mainstreaming: Perspectives and Insights in Kenya.
(2015)Gender mainstreaming was prioritized as a mechanism to achieve gender equality by the Beijing Platform for Action in 1995. Although since this Beijing meeting many institutions, the world over have attempted to put into ... -
Gender Role Transformation in the Oil Mining Industry in Kenya: a Case Study of Lokichar, Turkana
(Center for Promoting Ideas, 2019-12)The mining industry presents opportunities for economic development not only in Kenya but the entire world. There is hence need to involve women more to realize this development. The purpose of this paper is to analyze ... -
GENERAL OVERVIEW OF SAMPLE SIZE ESTIMATION FOR RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIALS
(Chuka University, 2021)Calculation of the minimum sample size needed to meet the primary study objective is a key feature of the design of any clinical trial. The other reason a priori sample size determination is to limit participant harm or ... -
Generating, Rectifying and Stepping Up the Voltage Output of Piezoelectric Plate
(International Journal of Research Publications, 2020)Energy is required in all sectors that either supports or improves human life. However, some of the methods of power generation e.g. the fossils fuels are non-renewable and have byproducts that harms the environment. For ... -
Genetic and phenotypic diversity of microsymbionts nodulating promiscuous soybeans from diferent agro-climatic conditions
(Springer Open, 2022)Background: Global food supply is highly dependent on feld crop production that is currently severely threatened by changing climate, poor soil quality, abiotic, and biotic stresses. For instance, one of the major challenges ... -
Genetic and phenotypic diversity of selected Kenyan mung bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilckzek) genotypes
(Springer Open, 2021)Background: Mung bean is a pulse crop principally grown in the tropic and subtropic parts of the world for its nutrient-rich seeds. Seven mung beans accessions from Eastern Kenya were evaluated using thirteen phenotypic traits. ... -
Genetic Characterization and Diversity of Rhizobium Isolated from Root Nodules of Mid-Altitude Climbing Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Varieties.
(2018-05-15)The increasing interest in the use of rhizobia as biofertilizers in smallholder agricultural farming systems of the Sub-Saharan Africa has prompted the identification of a large number of tropical rhizobia strains and led ... -
Genetic Diversity Analysis in Tropical Maize Germplasm for Stem Borer and Storage Pest Resistance using Molecular Markers and Phenotypic traits
(2015)One hundred maize inbred lines and eighty four hybrids were characterized for resistance to maize stem borer and post-harvest insect pests. This was achieved using genetic distance and population structure based on simple ... -
Genetic diversity of pumpkin accessions in Kenya revealed using morphological characters, diversity index, CATPCA and factor analysis
(2018-02)Pumpkin is one of the most morphologically variable genera in the entire plant kingdom. In Kenya, its genetic diversity is undocumented and distribution is haphazard. An expedition was done in Kakamega and Nyeri regions ... -
Genetic variation of growth dynamics in maize (Zea mays L.) revealed through automated non-invasive phenotyping.
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017)Hitherto, most quantitative trait loci of maize growth and biomass yield have been identified for a single time point, usually the final harvest stage. Through this approach cumulative effects are detected, without considering ... -
Genome-Wide Identification of GASA Gene Family in Ten Cucurbitaceae Species and Expression Analysis in Cucumber
(MDPI, 2022)Gibberellic acid-stimulated in Arabidopsis (GASA), a unique small molecular protein of plants, plays an essential role in plant growth and development. The GASA family genes have been identified and studied in many plants. ... -
