Effects of Locations On-and Off-Epigeal Termitaria on Vegetation Lifeforms in Katolo Sub-Location of Kisumu County, Kenya
(SCIRJ, 2017)
Epigeal termitaria host richer vegetation assemblages ascribed partly to their elevated nutrients levels in savannah
ecosystems. However, elaborate quantitative description of how abundance of various vegetation lifeforms ...
Metabolic syndrome and its predictors in an urban population in Kenya: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2017-12-01)
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of interrelated risk factors which doubles the risk of cardio-vascular disease (CVD) in 5–10 years and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes 5 fold. The identification of ...
Comparison of equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate in screening for chronic kidney disease in asymptomatic black Africans: a cross sectional study
(BioMed Central, 2017-12)
Several equations have been developed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The common equations used were derived from populations predominantly comprised of Caucasians with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Some of ...
Spectral analysis of certain groups of isometries on Hardy and Bergman spaces
(Academic Press, 2017-12-15)
Using the similarity theory of semigroups as well as spectral theory, we obtain the resolvents of the generators of strongly continuous groups of isometries on the Hardy and Bergman spaces. These groups are obtained as ...

Assessors, School Support and Teaching Practice at the University of Nairobi Kenya: Addressing Teacher Professional Competence
(2017)
Supporting and mentoring teacher trainee competence during teaching practice forms an indispensable part of professional and personal development. A positive interaction between university assessors, secondary school ...
EFFECT OF SAMPLE SIZE, ABILITY DISTRIBUTION AND TEST LENGTH ON DETECTION OF DIFFERENTIAL ITEM FUNCTIONING USING MANTEL-HAENSZEL STATISTIC
(2017-05-05)
Differential Item Functioning (DIF) is a statistical method that determines if test
measurements distinguish abilities by comparing two sub-population outcomes on
an item. The Mantel-Haenszel (MH) statistic provides an ...
Zero Inflated Poisson Mixture Distributions
(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 ...
Evaluation of the Parasight platform for malaria diagnosis
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2017-03-01)
The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 500 million malaria tests are performed annually. While microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are the main diagnostic approaches, no single method is inexpensive, ...
Relationship between Volume of Mortgage Lending and Financial Performance of Commercial Banks Quoted in Nairobi Securities Exchange
(International Journal of Business and Management Invention, 2017)
Mortgage loans have become an important aspect of loan portfolio among commercial banks in Kenya. It is observed that commercial banks’ lending criteria are pro-cyclical. As a result, they are likely to underestimate the ...
