    • Zero Inflated Poisson Mixture Distributions 

      Cynthia L Anyango, Edgar Otumba, John M Kihoro (Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2017)
      This paper presents a method of constructing the Zero inflated Poisson continuous mixture distributions which have applications in various fields. The distributions can be formed by either direct integration or integration ...

    • Zinc bioavailability and elution rate from zinc fortified water produced by the Lifestraw® Family Filter 

      Prosper Kujinga, Valeria Galetti, Elizabeth Opiyo Anyango, Diego Moretti, Christophe Zeder, Adam Krzystek, Fabian Tay, Pauline Andang’o, Inge D Brouwer, Michael B Zimmermann, Félicien Tossou, Joseph D Hounhouigan, Michael B Zimmermann, Diego Moretti (Wageningen University/London, 2016)
      Introduction: Zinc deficiency is a major public health problem in many developing countries. Zn fortification of foods may have limited impact because Zn bioavailability from staple foods is generally low. Fortification ...

    • Zinc Levels in Raw and Blanched Slenderleaf sp.(Crotalaria ochroleuca & Crotalaria brevidens) Indigenous Vegetables 

      Florence O Habwe, Walingo K Mary (Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2019)
      An estimated 20% of the world’s population is at risk for zinc (Zn) deficiency. Micronutrient deficiencies are most prevalent in Africa and remain a major problem facing poor populations, whose impact is worsened by ...

    • α+-Thalassemia Protects against Anemia Associated with Asymptomatic Malaria: Evidence from Community-Based Surveys in Tanzania and Kenya 

      Jacobien Veenemans, Pauline EA Andang'o, Erasto V Mbugi, Rob J Kraaijenhagen, David L Mwaniki, Frank P Mockenhaupt, Susanne Roewer, Raimos M Olomi, John F Shao, Jos WM van der Meer, Huub FJ Savelkoul, Hans Verhoef (The University of Chicago Press, 2008-08-01)
      Background. In hospital-based studies, α+-thalassemia has been found to protect against severe, life-threatening falciparum malaria. α+-Thalassemia does not seem to prevent infection or high parasite densities but rather ...

    • α-Amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors from Zanthoxylum chalybeum Engl. root bark 

      Charles O Ochieng, Daniel W Nyongesa, Kevin O Yamo, Joab O Onyango, Moses K Langat, Lawrence AO Manguro (Elsevier, 2020-10-01)
      A systematic analysis of the root bark of Zanthoxylum chalybeum was conducted to establish the antidiabetic potential of isolated compounds based on its ethnomedicinal use to manage diabetes. Chromatographic separation of ...

    • δ13 values of the Centrospermeae species and their ecological implications in the semi arid conditions 

      S Sikolia, E Beck, JI Kinyamario, JC Onyango (Asian Network for scientific infomation, 2008)
      13C values of the Centrospermeae species are presented. 69.5, 28.45, 1.25 and 0.8% of the total species are C3, C4, C3-C4 and CAM photosynthetic species. The δ13C values are species dependent. δ13C values for the C3 range ...
