Peace Building And Management Of Inter-ethnic Conflict Between The Kipsigis And Abagusii Living Along Chebilat/borabu Border Of Bomet And Kisii County, Kenya
Recurrence of inter-ethnic conflicts has been a common phenomenon in different parts of the world for along time. The situation has not been any different in the Sub-Saharan Africa and in Kenya. There are a number of social and economic issues surrounding these conflict that cause the recurrence despite the conflict prevention and peace initiatives that have been put forward
Growth Characteristics, Yield And Sex Ratio As Influenced By Pod Sections And Seed Position In Telfairia Occidentalis Landraces
A study was conducted in 2013 and 2014 early cropping seasons to assess the growth characteristics and yield of Telfairia occidentalis landraces as influenced by pod sections and seed positions. The experiment was located at Itu irrigation, Erosion and Flood Control Project Farm of the Cross River Basin Development Authority, Itu, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A land area of 20m×24m
Natural Frequency Analysis Of A Box-type Structure Using Ritz Method With Polynomial Shape Functions
This research work is aimed at analyzing the vibration associated with a box-type structure using Ritz Method with polynomial shape function. The purpose is to determine the fundamental frequency. The study assumed the same boundary conditions used by Onwuka and Nwachukwu (2012) and formulated a handy expression, for determining the natural frequency of a box structure. The results of the
Formulation Of The
Total Potential Energy Functional For A Thin- Walled Box Column Applicable To Raleigh- Ritz Method
This work is concerned with the formulation of the Total Potential Energy Functional for a Thin -walled Box Column. Specifically, the formulated Energy functional supports the use of Raleigh - Ritz Method – RRM (with polynomial shape functions) in the stability analysis of thin-walled box (closed) columns. The formulated energy functional took its derivative origin from the basic elasticity theories,
Towards A Theoratical Framework On Strategic Resources, Competitive Advantage And Firm Performance: A Research Agenda
This theoretical paper reviews theoretical and empirical literature concerning the connection between strategic resources, competitive advantage and the performance of a firm. The study of strategic resources, competitive advantage and superior performance of firms, is of great significance in strategic management. The Resource Based View (RBV) theory explains the key origin and drivers of firm’s competitive advantage and superior performance.
Influence Of Workload On Academic Staff Retention In Universities In Kenya
It is alleged that the apparent shortage of academic staff in Kenyan Universities is the main cause of universities’ failure to retain quality academic staff. Kenyan universities are operating in a highly competitive environment where supply of qualified teaching staff is in deficit. One of the challenges these universities face is academic staff retention. It is not clear the extent
The Cost And Returns
Of Cultivating Sesame
In The Transitional And Sudan Savanna Ecological Zones Of Ghana
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a high nutritional value crop with huge international market demand but its cultivation is limited to the three Northern regions (Upper West, Upper East and North) in Ghana. It is mostly grown in Sudan Savanna ecological zones for household consumption. To evaluate the possibility of cultivating sesame to boost production to a commercial scale; field experiments
