New Records of Lichen-forming Fungi from Kenya
(Journal of East African Natural History, 2012) -
A new species of Melanochaeta from Kenya
(Verlag Ferdinand Berger & Söhne Ges.m.b.H., 2008)Melanochaeta taitensis is described as a new species from Kenya. It is distinguished from the other known species of Melanochaeta by having large, 3-septate, strongly curved ascospores. Phylogenetic analyses of nuclear 28S ... -
Nitrogen fixation by common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in pure and mixed stands in semi-arid south-east Kenya
(Elsevier, 2001)Research was carried out in the field on the effect of intercropping common bean and maize crops in a semi-arid zone of south-east Kenya over two rainy seasons in 1997. The experimental design was a randomised complete ... -
Nodulation and nitrogen fixation in promiscuous and non promiscuous soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) varieties in Eastern Kenya
(Kenya Society of Microbiology, 2010)Soil nitrogen deficiency is a major factor limiting soybean production. This problem can be alleviated by the use of nitrogen fertilizers which on the other hand adversely affect the environment, are expensive and ... -
Nomadic Girls' Education Paperback
(LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2014)The right to education is clearly articulated in core international and national instruments. The vital role played by education in the socio-economic development of every country is universally recognized. There is a close ... -
Non-Parametric Estimator for a Finite Population total under Stratified Sampling incorporating a Hybrid of Data Reflection and Transformation Techniques
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)Statisticians use survey sampling methods in the estimation of population parameters of interest. This field has received increased demand due to the reliable statistic they produce. Information is extracted from the samples ... -
Non-response weighting adjustment approach in survey sampling
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2006)Non-response problem is an issue of great concern to all the researchers because it pervades almost all survey research. This ultimately creates potential for bias. The higher the non-response rate the greater the bias if ... -
Nonparametric estimation of distribution function for stratified populations
(International Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2018)Nonparametric estimation of population parameters for finite populations has been used with great success for data that fit the independent and identically distributed framework. However, most of these approaches do not ... -
Nonparametric mixed ratio estimator for a finite population total in stratified sampling
(Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2010)We propose a nonparametric regression approach to the estimation of a finite population total in model based frameworks in the case of stratified sampling. Similar work has been done, by Nadaraya and Watson (1964), Hansen ... -
Nonparametric model assisted model calibrated estimation in two stage survey sampling
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2007) -
A numerical investigation of the effect of curvature and Reynolds number to radial velocity in a curved porous pipe
(International Journal of Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 2017)Different irrigation methods are being used in agriculture. However, due to scarcity of water, irrigation methods that use water efficiently are needed. The motivation of this study is the increasing use of porous pipes ... -
Nutritional Diversity of Leafy Amaranth Species grown in Kenya
(Elewa Bio Science, 2014)Objectives: Despite the availability of many species of amaranth in Kenya, there is inadequate information on their nutritional diversity and how they can be best used in mitigation of malnutrition. Hence, this study was ... -
Oil Content and Fatty Acid Composition of Five Linseed Varieties Grown In Two Agro-Ecological Locations of Kenya
(Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, 2015)Linseed oil is rich in the health promoting fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and oleic acid (omega-9), and is increasingly being used as a nutraceutical. However, there is limited linseed production in Kenya ... -
On Estimation of Panel Data Regression Model in the Presence of Endogeneity and Heterogeneity
(International Journal of Mathematics & Computation, 2015) -
On quantiles estimation based on stratified sampling using multiplicative bias correction approach.
(Journal of Mathematics, 2022)In the context of stratified sampling, we develop a nonparametric regression technique to estimating finite population quantiles in model-based frameworks using a multiplicative bias correction strategy. Furthermore, the ... -
On The Existence of a Non-Relativistic Hermitian Time Operator
(2015)The existence of a hermitian time operator is proposed in the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg equation of motion is shown to yield constant rate of flow of time. It is shown to yield results ... -
OP25. 09: Early fetal growth in malaria infected pregnancies
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2011) -
OP25. 10: Fetal biometrics, umbilical and uterine artery Doppler studies among malaria infected and not infected pregnant women
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2011)Placental malaria contributes to maternal morbidity and low birth weight in malaria endemic countries. Intermittent anti‐malarial prophylaxis given twice during pregnancy has been shown to decrease the prevalence of low ... -
