agricultural training centres (atcs) promote crop and livestock development by providing extension information to farmers and serving as models of improved crop and livestock husbandry practices. although potato farmers in nyandarua county were trained on potato production technologies, their average yield was ≤16 tonnes per hectare compared to the national potential of 30 tonnes. this study th...

In this paper a new universal formula about the rotation velocity distribution of atoms, planets, and galaxies is presented. It is based on a new general formula based on the relativistic Schwarzschild/Minkowski metric, where it has been possible to obtain expressions for the rotation velocity and mass distribution versus the distance to the atomic nucleus, planet system centre, and galactic ce...

Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada 43:4.74.14. A computer model of insect-induced hot spots in stored wheat was developed by combining four submodels: (1) a three-dimensional, finite element model of heat transfer, (2) a population dynamics mo...

Iris centre localization in low-resolution visible images is a challenging problem in computer vision community due to noise, shadows, occlusions, pose variations, eye blinks, etc. This paper proposes an efficient method for determining iris centre in low-resolution images in the visible spectrum. Even low-cost consumer-grade webcams can be used for gaze tracking without any additional hardware...
