Recent Influences of Anthropogenic Activities and Seasons on Heavy Metal Distribution in Shoreline Sediments in Lake Victoria Near Kisumu City, Kenya
(Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 2017)The Winam Gulf on Lake Victoria around Kisumu city has seen increase in anthropogenic activities. The activities discharge pollutants, especially heavy metals into the lake. The heavy metals sink into sediments, which ... -
Recent advances in the use of Tithonia diversifolia green manure for soil fertility management in Africa: A review
(Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2020)Tithonia biomass transfer was presented as a technology that would replenish infertile soils, enhance food security and eradicate poverty in Africa in the 1990s. Since then, a huge volume of research has been conducted ... -

Recent limnological changes and their implication on fisheries in Lake Baringo, Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2014)Water samples for physico-chemical analysis for this study were collected monthly for five years between April 2008 and March 2013. Conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH was measured in situ using a Surveyor ... -
Recursive Relation for Zero In ated Poisson Mixture Distributions
(2017)The paper extends the work of Sarguta who derived recursive re- lations for univariate distributions by considering the ZIP continuous mixtures. The paper gives a recursive formular which can be used to evaluate the mixed ... -
Recursive Relation for Zero Inflated Poisson Mixture Distributions
(HIKARI Ltd, 2017)The paper extends the work of Sarguta who derived recursive re lations for univariate distributions by considering the ZIP continuous mixtures. The paper gives a recursive formular which can be used to evaluate the mixed ... -
Red blood cell immune complex binding capacity in children with sickle cell trait (HbAS) living in P. falciparum malaria holoendemic region of Western Kenya
(ARMY MEDICAL RESEARCH UNIT-KENYA APO NEW YORK 09675, 2013)Malaria infection leads to the formation of circulating immune complexes CICs which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of complicated malaria which includes severe malarial anemia. Children with sickle cell trait ... -
Reduced immune complex binding capacity and increased complement susceptibility of red cells from children with severe malaria-associated anemia
(The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research, 2008-03)Plasmodium falciparum malaria causes 1–2 million deaths per year. Most deaths occur as a result of complications such as severe anemia and cerebral malaria (CM)(coma). Red cells of children with severe malaria-associated ... -
Reduced interferon (IFN)-α conditioned by IFNA2 (-173) and IFNA8 (-884) haplotypes is associated with enhanced susceptibility to severe malarial anemia and longitudinal all-cause mortality
(Pub Med Central, 2012-08)Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality in holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas. Although dysregulation in cytokine production is an important etiology of SMA, ... -

Reduced Systemic Bicyclo-Prostaglandin-E2 and Cyclooxygenase-2 Gene Expression are Associated with Inefficient Erythropoiesis and Enhanced Uptake of Monocytic Hemozoin in Children with Severe Malarial Anemia
(Pub Med Central, 2012-08)In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas, severe malaria primarily occurs in children <48 mos. and manifests as severe malarial anemia [SMA; hemoglobin (Hb)<6.0 g/dL]. Induction of high levels of prostaglandin-E2 ... -
Reduced systemic bicyclo-prostaglandin-E2 and cyclooxygenase-2 gene expression are associated with inefficient erythropoiesis and enhanced uptake of monocytic hemozoin in children with severe malarial anemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2012)In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas, severe malaria primarily occurs in children aged <48 months and manifests as severe malarial anemia [SMA; hemoglobin (Hb) < 6.0 g/dL]. Induction of high levels of ... -
Reduced transplacental transfer of a subset of Epstein-Barr virus-specific antibodies to neonates of mothers infected with Plasmodium falciparum malaria during pre...
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-11-01)Over 35% of children in a region of malaria endemicity are infected with Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) by 6 months of age. This susceptibility may be linked to impaired transplacental transfer of antibodies. In this study, ... -
Reduplication in Dholuo a Study of Morphological Reduplication
(Nairobi university, 2007)This work is a study of reduplication of Dholuo. Reduplication is a naturally integrated facility in Dholuo grammar and therefore calls for a thorough theoretical and descriptive analysis in order to provide a clear ... -
Reference intervals for some biochemical parameters in the aged Kenyan population.
(East African Medical Journal,, 1994)Serum levels for sodium, potassium, calcium, inorganic phosphate, urea nitrogen and creatinine were determined in 1101 male and 181 female patients aged 50 years and above. The determinations were carried out on the SMA ... -
Refined enumeration of 2-noncrossing trees
(Academic Publishing House, 2021)A 2-noncrossing tree is a connected graph without cycles that can be drawn in the plane with its vertices on the boundary of circle such that the edges are straight line segments that do not cross and all the vertices ... -
Refined enumeration of k-plane trees and k-noncrossing trees
(2022)A k-plane tree is a plane tree whose vertices are assigned labels between 1 and k in such a way that the sum of the labels along any edge is no greater than k+1. These trees are known to be related to (k+1)-ary trees, and ... -
