(1995)How is reading literacy related to academic achievement among 14 year old students in Kenya? This was the main issue in focus for the present study. The International Evaluation and Educational Assessment Association ... -
Real Effective Exchange Rate Volatility and Its Impact on Foreign Direct Investment in Kenya
(AJEBA, 2018-05)A country’s real effective exchange rate (REER) is an important determinant of the growth of cross-border trading and it serves as a measure of its international competitiveness. Studies that have focused on the relationship ... -
Real Effective Exchange Rate Volatility and Its Impact on Foreign Direct Investment in Kenya
(Asian Journal of Economics, Business and Accounting, 2018)on foreign direct investment in Kenya. Findings of this study will add value to the Dornbusch overshooting model, production flexibility and risk aversion theories and partial and general equilibrium theories and will ... -
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 advances towards understanding and managing Kenyan acid soils for improved crop production
(African Journal of Agricultural Reseach, 2014-06-18)This review focused on the efforts made to understand and manage Kenyan acid soils by use of inorganic, organic materials (OMs) and crop germplasms tolerant to soil aluminium (Al) toxicity and/or low soil available phosphorus ... -

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 ... -

(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 ... -
