Classroom Instruction Reinforcement Strategies and Factors that Influence their Implementation in Kenyan Primary Schools
(Journal of Educational and Social Research, 2015-09-04)The study investigated classroom instruction reinforcement strategies and factors that influence implementation of the reinforcement strategies used by primary school teachers in the classroom in Kikuyu district of Kenya. ... -
Teachers’ perception on progress monitoring record as a method of assessment of holistic development among Kenyan lower primary schools learners
(Journal of Educational and Social Research, 2015-09-04)The purpose of the study was to establish Teachers’ Perception on progress monitoring record as a Method of Assessment of Holistic Development among lower public primary school learners in Kisumu Central Sub-County Kisumu ... -
Maternal psychological distress and appraisal of parenting experience predict social-emotional development of Kenyan infants
(Routledge, 2018-08-03)This study investigated whether higher maternal psychological distress, lower provision of psychosocial stimulation and a negative appraisal of parenting experience were associated with lower cognitive, motor, social-emotional ... -
MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECT OF NUMBER OF BRANCHES ON WATER HAMMER
(Pushpa Publishing House, 2013-10-01)This paper looks at water hammer with an emphasis on the number of branches. The mathematics of water hammer are described in a transient condition. This includes the momentum and continuity equations for conduits. A ... -
Parenting, culture, and the development of externalizing behaviors from age 7 to 14 in nine countries
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-12)Using multilevel models, we examined mother-, father-, and child-reported (N = 1,336 families) externalizing behavior problem trajectories from age 7 to 14 in nine countries (China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the ... -
Household income predicts trajectories of child internalizing and externalizing behavior in high-, middle-, and low-income countries
(Sage Publications, 2019-01)This study examined longitudinal links between household income and parents’ education and children’s trajectories of internalizing and externalizing behaviors from age 8 to 10 reported by mothers, fathers, and children. ... -
Education and Parenting in Kenya
(Springer, Cham, 2019)This chapter discusses parenting practices and students’ academic achievement in light of Kenya’s current education system. An attempt is made to trace the evolution of the Kenyan education system through the years from ... -
Adolescents’ cognitive capacity reaches adult levels prior to their psychosocial maturity: Evidence for a “maturity gap” in a multinational, cross-sectional sample.
(Educational Publishing Foundation, 2019-02)All countries distinguish between minors and adults for various legal purposes. Recent U.S. Supreme Court cases concerning the legal status of juveniles have consulted psychological science to decide where to draw these ... -
Effects of Conduction and Variable Properties On a Two Dimensional Conjugate Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid in a Microchannel
(International Scientific Press, 2013-10-01)In this paper we analyze the effects of conduction and variable properties on a two dimensional conjugate heat transfer of a nanofluid containing a mixture of two fluids namely, Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and water. Nanoparticles ... -
Mathematical analysis of tip speed ratio of a wind turbine and its effects on power coefficient
(2014)In this paper we estimate the value of tip speed ratio of a wind turbine and evaluate its effects on power coefficient. The power coefficient, Cp, is achieved at a particular tip speed ratio, β, which is specific to the ... -
Environmental harshness and unpredictability, life history, and social and academic behavior of adolescents in nine countries.
(American Psychological Association, 2018)Safety is essential for life. To survive, humans and other animals have developed sets of psychological and physiological adaptations known as life history (LH) tradeoff strategies in response to various safety constraints. ... -
Mathematical model of variable speed pitch regulated turbine in a wind energy conversion system
(2014)Pitch control of wind turbine in a wind energy conversion system involves the change of the rotor blade pitch angle along the rotor axis. Most compa-nies are faced with the challenge of maintaining a steady and optimal ... -
Finite Difference Analysis of 2-Dimensional Acoustic Wave with a Signal Function
(2015-12-09)This paper describes progress on a two dimensional numerical simulation of acoustic wave propagation that has been developed to visualize the propagation of acoustic wave fronts and to provide time-domain signal. In this ... -
On the steady MHD couette flow between two infinite parallel plates in an uniform transverse magnetic field
(2015)In this paper we consider laminar viscous incompressible fluid between two infinite parallel plates when the upper plate is moving with constant velocity Uo and the lower plate is held stationary under the influence of ... -
Numerical solutions of the Burgers’ system in two dimensions under varied initial and boundary conditions
(2012)In this paper, we generate varied sets of exact initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions for the 2-D Burgers’ equations from general analytical solutions via Hopf-Cole transformation and separation of variables. These ... -

(Springer, 2020)Reports an error in "Age patterns in risk taking across the world" by Natasha Duell, Laurence Steinberg, Grace Icenogle, Jason Chein, Nandita Chaudhary, Laura Di Giunta, Kenneth A. Dodge, Kostas A. Fanti, Jennifer E. ... -
Steady MHD poiseuille flow between two infinite parallel porous plates in an inclined magnetic field
(2012)In this paper, we examine the motion of a two dimensional steady flow of a viscous, electrically conducting, incompressible fluid flowing between two infinite parallel porous plates under the influence of transverse magnetic ... -
Mathematical modelling of wind turbine in a wind energy conversion system: Power coefficient analysis
(2012-01)The world is increasingly going green in its energy use. Wind power is a green renewable source of energy that can compete effectively with fossil fuel as a generator of power in the electricity market. For this effective ... -
