Role of Counseling in Employee Performance in Public Universities(A Case Study of Kenyatta University)
(2016-08)In order to achieve the set goals or perform the activities of any organization, employees have to be taken care of economically, politically and socially, to enable them perform to the standards required. One way of taking ... -
Determinants of Adoption Choices of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in Crop Production by Small Scale Farmers in Some Regions of Central Ethiopia
(Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2014)In Sub-Saharan Africa, climate change is set to hit the agricultural sector the most and cause untold suffering particularly for smallholder farmers. Adoption of climate change adaptation strategies aims to minimize adverse ... -
Analysis of Environmental Initiatives on Business Performance Sustainability at the Lake Naivasha Ecosystem, Kenya
(Journal of Environment and Earth Science, 2014)Increasing degradation of the natural environment is one of the main threats to human survival in the long term. Business enterprises’ environmental commitment has, therefore, become an important variable in most of today’s ... -
Business Sustainability: A Need To Re-Look Environmental Practices And Initiatives
(European Journal of Business and Management, 2014)Due to the increasing degradation of the natural business enterprises’ environmental commitment has become an important variable in most of today’s competitive business environment. This is because activities of most ... -
POLICY OPTIONS FOR ENHANCING WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN MANAGING WATER RESOURCES IN KAJIADO COUNTY, KENYA
(International Journal of Development Research, 2014)The important role that women play in the management of water resources has been recognized in various parts of the world. This is because they play a significant role in accessing water for various uses such as washing, ... -
Modelling of Hydrological Drought Events in the Upper Tana Basin of Kenya
(IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE), 2014)Drought is a recurring hazard which affects many parts of Kenya. In most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, agriculture which is predominantly rain-fed is the main stay of the economies is highly prone to the impacts of ... -
Sources, Accessibility and Reliability of Water for Various Uses in Ruiru District of Kiambu County, Kenya
(International Journal of Sciences: Basic and Applied Research, 2014)Numerous challenges regarding the availability of water availability for various socioeconomic development activities exist in many areas across the globe. This is particularly so in most peri-urban areas where scarcity ... -
Analysis of Head Loss in Pipe System Components
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2014)The problem under investigation is to determine the flow-field variables that is the total head which is the sum total of Elevation head, velocity head and pressure head instantaneous distributions as a function of distance ... -
Cross-Diffusion Effect on Mixed Convective Fluid Flow through Horizontal Annulus
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2014)The unsteady mixed convective fluid flow through an annulus filled with a fluid-saturated porous medium is numerically investigated in this study in the presence of Cross-Diffusion effect and constant Heat Source. The flow ... -
Rhizons improved estimation of nutrient losses because of seepage in aquaculture ponds
(Journal of Earth Science & Climatic Change, 2017)The effects of climate change have highly challenged the productivity of the agricultural sector. The increasing temperatures and erratic rains, as well as diseases and pests have significantly reduced crop yields in the ... -
A review of aquaculture production and health management practices of farmed fish in Kenya
(International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, 2018)Warm water aquaculture is widely practiced in Kenya and is dominated by the culture of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (75% of total production) followed by African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) at 18%. Aquaculture ... -
Cycle indices of PGL(2,q) acting on the cosets of its subgroups
(International Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology, 2017)In this paper, we mainly investigate the action of 𝑃𝐺𝐿 2,𝑞 on the cosets some of its subgroups namely; 𝐶𝑞−1,𝐶𝑞+1and 𝑃 𝑞. Corresponding to each action the disjoint cycle structures and cycle index formulas is ... -
A Study of Solutions to Euler Equations for a One Dimensional Unsteady Flow
(American Journal of Comp utational and App lied M athematics, 2013)In this paper we deal with the Euler equations for Isothermal gas. In analyzing the equations we obtain two real and distinct eigenvalues which enables us to determine the wave structure of the possible solutions to the ... -
Exploring the trophic structure in organically fertilized and feed-driven tilapia culture environments using multivariate analyses
(AquacultureResearch, 2006)Reports of similar yields in manure and feed-driven tilapia culture environments raise questions on food utilization in these environments. The possibility that similar production rates are because of utilization of di¡erent ... -
Ideotyping integrated aquaculture systems to balance soil nutrients
(Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2011)Due to growingland scarcityand lack of nutrientinputs, Africanfarmersswitched fromshiftingcultivationto continuous croppingand extendedcrop area by bringing fragile lands such as river banks and hill slopes into production. ... -
Investigation of Pressure Distributions for a Finite Elasto-Hydrodynamic Journal Bearing Lubricated by Ferro Fluids with Couple Stresses
(2014)The performance of finite elastohydrodynamic journal bearings lubricated by ferrofluids with couple stresses has been studied. We derive a Reynolds equation that takes into account magneto elastohydrodynamics, by using the ... -
