Climate change is expected to affect the agricultural systems, such as crop yield and plant disease occurrence and spread. To be able to mitigate against the negative impacts of climate change, there is a need to use early ...

The effluents from Webuye pulp and paper mill were analysed chemically using AAS to obtain the stoichiometric concentrations of the major anions and cations. However, this does not indicate how the components are distributed ...

Computer simulations were conducted to determine the elastic stress concentration factors in the vicinity of an elliptical cross-bore in a closed ended thick walled cylinder. The orientation of the elliptical cross-bore with ...

Hydropower is a renewable source of energy. It has little fluctuation which is different from solar and wind power. The cost of large scale hydroelectricity is generally very low. Adding to large scale, development of small ...

This paper focusses on the aggregation of multiple induction motors connected in parallel on the same bus bars into a single equivalent model using two methods of aggregations.This has been necessitated by the strong ...

Safe, clean drinking water and sanitation facilities are key to economic development and public health in Kenya. Rapid urbanization and population growth mean worsening conditions for millions of Kenyans, especially ...

Low energy costs have not induced industry and households to adopt energy efficiency measures and the growing GHG emissions are a source of growing concern and promoting energy efficiency standards. Demand-side management ...

Catalytic pyrolysis is a process of thermal decomposition for plastics at elevated temperatures, in presence of a catalyst and complete absence of oxygen. Plastics are converted into gas and oil fuels that have high calorific ...

This study aimed at determining thin layer drying characteristics of amaranth grains in a natural convention solar dryer. Initially, ttemperature distribution in the dryer was evaluated using nine discrete points spread ...

Community Based Natural Resources Management is emerging as an important paradigm in Natural Resources Management globally. The concept is premised on historical and traditional approaches to Natural Resources Management ...
