GENERALISED MODEL BASED CONFIDENCE INTERVALS IN TWO STAGE CLUSTER SAMPLING
(Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2010)Chambers and Dorfman (2002) constructed bootstrap confidence intervals in model based estimation for finite population totals assuming that auxiliary values are available throughout a target population and that the auxiliary ... -
Generalized relativistic dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)Generalized relativistic field equations have been derived for dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame interpreted as a Finsler space where events are specified by both spacetime coordinates and corresponding velocities ... -
The genus Relicinopsis is nested within Relicina (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota).
(British Lichen Society, 2017)Macro-morphological features traditionally used to segregate genera in Parmeliaceae have been shown to be highly plastic, placing limits on their taxonomic value. Here we aim to elucidate the evolutionary relationships of ... -
Gigahertz acoustic vibrations of Ga-doped ZnO nanoparticle array
(IOP Science, 2019)In this work, we present an experimental study on the acoustic vibrations of ZnO nanoparticles array with different concentration of Ga dopings by using femtosecond pump-probe technique. The Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) nano-triangle ... -
Glutathionylation and Reduction of Methacrolein in Tomato Plants Account for Its Absorption from the Vapor Phase
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2015)A large portion of the volatile organic compounds emitted by plants are oxygenated to yield reactive carbonyl species, which have a big impact on atmospheric chemistry. Deposition to vegetation driven by the absorption of ... -
[HTML] from iucr.org (μ-Formato-κ2O: O′) bis [dicarbonyl (η5-cyclopentadienyl) iron (II)] tetrafluoridoborate.
(International Union of Crystallography, 2011)In the structure of the title compound [Fe(2)(C(5)H(5))(2)(CHO(2))(CO)(4)]BF(4), each Fe(II) atom is coordinated in a pseudo-octa-hedral three-legged piano-stool fashion. The cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand occupies three fac ... -
The importance of lipoxygenase control in the production of green leaf volatiles by lipase-dependent and independent pathways
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014)Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are six-carbon volatile compounds. They are formed from fatty acids by a dioxygenation reaction catalyzed by lipoxygenase and a subsequent cleavage reaction catalyzed by hydroperoxide lyase. GLVs ... -
In-silico analysis of potent Mosquirix vaccine adjuvant leads
(Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023-11-30)Abstract Background World Health Organization recommend the use of malaria vaccine, Mosquirix, as a malaria prevention strategy. However, Mosquirix has failed to reduce the global burden of malaria because of its inefficacy. ... -
The Incompatibility between Euclidean Geometry and the Algebraic Solutions of Geometric Problems
(European Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2023)The transition from the “early-modern” mathematical and scientific norms of establishing conventional Euclidean geometric proofs has experienced quite mixed modes of reasoning. For instance, a careful investigation based ... -
Induction of Complete Courtship Ritual in Amblyomma Cajennense Using 2, 6-Dichlorophenol at Female-Equivalent Quantities
(2011)In order to clarify the role of 2,6-dichlorophenol (2,6-DCP) in the courtship of Amblyomma cajennense, sexually mature males that had previously fed on rabbits were tested in bioassays. The males were released onto dummies ... -
Inference on poverty indicators for Ghana
(2018-09-14)Poverty indicators are the fundamental statistics used to optimally determine the standards of living of people in any country. These are used for policy planing and analysis. Poverty indicators were estimated using ... -
The influence of different species of gases on the luminescent and structural properties of pulsed laser-ablated Y2O2S:Eu3+ thin films.
(Springer., 2016-04)Y2O2S:Eu3+ films have been grown on Si (100) substrates by using a pulsed laser deposition technique. The thin films grown under vacuum, argon and oxygen ambient have been characterized using structural and luminescent ... -

Influence of fringe benefits on employee performance in large commercial banks in Nairobi city county in Kenya
(Journal of Strategic Management, 2018)Fringe benefits have been recognized as a way that motivate employees to increase their work output above the expected, therefore increasing employee performance. Fringe benefits are types of non-wage compensation provided ... -
Influence of nitrogen and spacing on growth and yield of chia (Salvia hispanica) in Meru county, Kenya
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2022-06)Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) is an emerging food crop in Kenya and has attracted a lot of attention due to its edible seeds and leaves. Despite its importance, Chia production is still very low due to scarce information on ... -
The influence of oxygen partial pressure on material properties of Eu3+-doped Y2O2S thin film deposited by Pulsed Laser Deposition.
