A 13-year climatological study on the variations of aerosol and cloud properties over Kazakhstan from remotely sensed satellite observations
(Pergamon, 2018-11)
The Republic of Kazakhstan, by geographical and climatological conditions, is a key location for the characterization of atmospheric aerosols due to an unprecedented increase of aerosol's concentrations in the recent years. ...
Optical, microphysical and radiative properties of aerosols over a tropical rural site in Kenya, East Africa: Source identification, modification and aerosol type discrimination
(Pergamon, 2018)
A better understanding of aerosol optical, microphysical and radiative properties is a crucial challenge for climate change studies. In the present study, column-integrated aerosol optical and radiative properties observed ...
Spatiotemporal characteristics of aerosols and their trends over mainland China with the recent Collection 6 MODIS and OMI satellite datasets
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018-03)
With the rapid development of China’s economy and high rate of industrialization, environmental pollution has become a major challenge for the country. The present study is aimed at analyzing spatiotemporal heterogeneities ...
Prevalence and genotyping of Echinococcus granulosus in sheep in Narok County, Kenya
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018-07)
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus species (sensu lato, s.l.). In East Africa, several species/strains occur in livestock, wildlife, and humans, but there ...
Spatial variations and trends in AOD climatology over East Africa during 2002–2016: a comparative study using three satellite data sets
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018)
Aerosol optical depth (AOD) has become one of the most crucial parameters for climate change assessment.
This study presents long-term (2002–2016) spatio-temporal distributions and trends in AOD over East Africa (EA) ...
Characterization of Ripening-related Genes Involved in Ethylene-independent Low Temperature-modulated Ripening in ‘Rainbow Red’ Kiwifruit during Storage and On-vine
(The Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2018)
‘Rainbow Red’ kiwifruit have been reported to gradually ripen during low temperature storage and on the vine in the absence of detectable ethylene. This study was conducted to compare the expression of ripening-related ...
Haemorrhage of gross domestic product from disability-adjusted-life-years among 15-59 year olds in Kenya
(International Medical Society, 2018)
This article estimates non-health gross domestic pro-duct (GDP) losses associated with Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) lost among 15-59 year olds (most productive age bracket) in Kenya in 2015. This study ...

The Republic of Kazakhstan, by geographical and climatological conditions, is a key location for the characterization of atmospheric aerosols due to an unprecedented increase of aerosol's concentrations in the recent years. ...
Ecology and Environment
(2018-02)
The following abstract was retrieved from the above mentioned reference:Ecology is the study of animals and plants in their relations to each other and to their environment. The term oekologie (ecology) was coined in 1866 ...
Molecular characterization of Echinococcus species in dogs from four regions of Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-05-15)
Cystic echinococcosis is endemic both in livestock and humans in many parts of Kenya. However, very little data exists on Echinococcus infections in dogs, and therefore their role in maintaining the transmission cycles and ...
