Effect of Foreign Multilateral Aid and Foreign Bilateral Aid on Capital Formation in Kenya
(American Research Institute for Policy Development, 2019-09)Low capital formation in Kenya, averaging rate 20.13% of GDP over the period 2006-2017 has kept unemployment rate above 39% with more than 65 per cent of people living on less than $ 2 a day. Yet previous studies do not ... -
Strategic Management Practices and Service Delivery in the County Government of Bungoma, Kenya
(2018)Strategic management practices involve the art and science of formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions that enable an organization to achieve its objectives. The main purpose of this research ... -
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 ... -
An Econometric Assessment of the Real Effective Exchange Rate Volatility in Kenya DNAO Wanyama Silvester Mackton
(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. The REER is an active source of discussions ... -
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, ... -
Factors that influence local attitudes towards refugees in Kenya
(Institute of African Studies, University of Nairobi, 2004)This study focused on the factors that influence local attitudes towards refugees in Kenya. The study was carried out on two sites: Dadaab refugee camp in Garissa District in North Eastern Province, and the former Thika ... -
Deteriorating conditions of hosting refugees: A case study of the Dadaab complex in Kenya
(The Center for African Area Studies, Kyoto University, 2008)This study describes the deteriorating conditions of hosting refugees at three camps (Ifo, Hagadera, and Dagahaley, popularly known as the Dadaab complex) that have been hosting refugees in the semi-arid northeastern part ... -
Animating ‘refugeeness’ through vulnerabilities: worthiness of long-term exile in resettlement claims among Somali refugees in Kenya
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-08)Refugees are generally viewed as a transitory problem. In many African countries, however, protracted refugee situations have turned the temporary refugee state into a more or less permanent phenomenon. In this article, I ... -
The algebra of smooth functions of rapid descent
(JOOUST, 2009)A bounded operator with the spectrum lying in a compact set V ⊂ R, has C∞(V ) functional calculus. On the other hand, an operator H acting on a Hilbert space H, admits a C(R) functional calculus if H is self-adjoint. So ... -
Operators with slowly growing resolvents towards the spectrum
(International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2009-03)A closed densely defined operator H, on a Banach space X, whose spectrum is contained in R and satisfies -
On Numerical and Centre Values Range
(Int. Journal of Math, 2010)This paper follows [1] in the quantitative study of Numerical Ranges introduced by Stampfli [9]. In particular, we consider a family of mutually orthogonal projections and investigate how a numerical range can be related ... -
Mathematical Model for Pneumonia Dynamics with Carriers
(2013)There are major advances which have been made to understand the epidemiology of infectious diseases. However, more than 2 million children in the developing countries still die from pneumonia each year. The efforts to ... -
Various notions of orthogonality in normed spaces
(Elsevier, 2013-09-01)In this paper, we present various notions and aspects of orthogonality in normed spaces. Characterizations and generalizations of orthogonality are also considered. Results on orthogonality of the range and the kernel of ... -
On necessary Conditions for scalars
(Hikari Ltd, 2014)In this paper, we give a characterization of scalar operators. In particular we show that a densely defined closed linear operator H acting on a reflexive Banach space X is scalar if it is of (0, 1) type R and f (H)≤ f∞ ... -
Parameter Driven Dynamics of Trypanosomiasis in a Cattle Population
(HIKARI Ltd, 2014)In this paper we study the disease dynamics of trypanosomiasis in a cattle population. The compartmental model presented includes the wild animal population which provides an alternative feeding source for the tsetse ... -
International Journal of Mathematical Archive-2 (10), 2011, Page: 2027-2029 Available online through www. ijma. info ISSN 2229–5046
(IJMA, 2011)In this paper, the age-structured population matrix, also known as Leslie matrix, has been extended to model the dynamics of migrating individuals. Aggregation techniques have been used to estimate the parameters of the ... -
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 ... -
Inference Properties of QIC in the Selection of Covariates for Generalized Estimating Equations
(HIKARI Ltd, 2019)The Quasi-likelihood information criterion (QIC)which results from utilizing Kullbacks I-divergence as the targeted discrepancy is widely used in the GEE framework to select the best correlation structure and the best ... -
Consistency Inference Property of QIC in Selecting the True Working Correlation Structure for Generalized Estimating Equations
(Science Publishing Group, 2019-06-29)The generalized estimating equations (GEE) is one of the statistical approaches for the analysis of longitudinal data with correlated response. A working correlation structure for the repeated measures of the outcome ... -
Spatial Comparison and Quality Check of Farmer-recorded Daily Rainfall Data; A Case of Nyakach and Soin-sigowett, Kenya
(Science Publishing Group, 2020-01-09)Small scale farming is currently still heavily dependent on rainfall in developing nations. With the challenge of climate change, many innovations are proposed to help the farmers mitigate and adapt. The use of historical ...
