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 ... -
Global distribution of alveolar and cystic echinococcosis
(Academic Press, 2017)Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) are severe helminthic zoonoses. Echinococcus multilocularis (causative agent of AE) is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere where it is typically maintained ... -
Global Forum 2015 dialogue on “From evidence to policy–thinking outside the box”: perspectives to improve evidence uptake and good practices in the African Region
(BioMed Central, 2016)The Global Forum 2015 panel session dialogue entitled“ From evidence to policy thinking outside the box” was held on 26 August 2015 in the Philippines to debate why evidence was not fully translated into policy and practice ... -
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 ... -
Glycemic Indices of Cassava and Sweet Potatoes Consumed in Western Kenya
(Food Science and Quality Management, 2017)Glycemic index (GI) is used to classify carbohydrate-rich foods especially those containing at least 15% carbohydrates on the basis of their ability to raise blood sugar. Interest on the GI of carbohydrate-rich foods ... -
Glycemic Responses to Stiff Porridge( ugali) Meals Consumed in Western Kenya
(International Knowledge Sharing Platform, 2017)Glycemic responses which have been measured in terms of glycemic indices (GIs) differ among various carbohydrate-rich foods. Despite the existence of a GI Table of most common foods, the records of the GIs of most Kenyan ... -
Green gold: refining crude Miraa (Catha edulis) into a real green gold
(Meru University of Science Technology, 2022-06)Miraa (Catha edulis) is a very lucrative psychoactive crop for the farmers in lower parts of Meru county and Embu county. However, its handling is unhygienic and it’s a perishable crop. Withering and drying leads to ... -
