The Impact of Information Management Practices on the performance of County Governments in Central Kenya: A Case of Nyeri County
(2016-04)
Information management is critical in influencing an organisation’s ability to sustain a long-term competitive advantage. This chapter, resulting from a research study, examines the impact of information management practices ...
Critical temperature and condensate fraction of a bose – einstein condensate trapped in a finite volume
(Centre for Info Bio Technology, 2014)
Bose - Einstein Condensation, BEC, of an ideal gas is investigated for a finite number of particles trapped in a harmonic potential. The values of the critical temperature for Rb-87, its condensate fraction and the energy ...
Enhancing Organisational Performance in Kenyan Universities Through Effective Tacit Knowledge Management
(2016-04)
Knowledge is an important asset and tacit knowledge is located in the minds of people. To succeed, organisations have to make the best use of their knowledge assets. This can be achieved through diverse initiatives such ...
Synthesis and characterization of dialdehyde cellulose nanofibers from O. sativa husks
(SN Applied Sciences, 2019-06)
Periodate oxidation of cellulose breaks the C2–C3 bond of the glucose repeating units forming two vicinal aldehyde groups that are amenable to further reactions. In this article, effects of reaction conditions during the ...
D-Optimal Designs for Third-Degree Kronecker Model Mixture Experiments with an Application to Artificial Sweetener Experiment
(IOSR Journal of Mathematics, 2014)
This study investigates some optimal designs in the third degree Kronecker model mixture experiments for non-maximal subsystem of parameters, where Kiefer’s functions serve as optimality criteria. Based on the completeness ...
Technological Preferences, Levels of Utilization and Attitude of Students Towards Mobile Learning Technologies in Chartered Universities, Kenya
(Australian International Academic Centre, 2017-10)
The affordances of mobile technologies are being felt in many sectors of world’s economy including university education. By solving the limitations of fixed instructional technologies, mobile technologies have received ...
Hydromagnetic Turbulent Flow Between Two Parallel Infinite Plates
(Science Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2017)
In this study we shall investigate hydromagnetic turbulent unsteady flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two parallel infinite plates. The flow variables such as velocity and thermodynamic ...
D-optimal Rotatable Central Composite Designs Constructed through Resolutions
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2016)
Response surface methodology is widely used for developing, improving, and optimizing processes in various fields. A design is of resolution 𝑅 if no 𝑝 factors effect is confounded with any other effect containing less ...
Validation of Popular Models used in the Analysis of Specific Activities of Primordial Radionuclides in Environmemtal Samples trough 1-D Analytical Modeling.
(Radiation Enviroment and Medicine, 2019)
Evaluation of In vivo Toxicity of Methanolic Leaf Extract of Vernonia lasiopus (O. Hoffman)
(Journal of Pharmacognosy & Natural Products, 2017)
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the in vivo toxicity of methanolic leaf extract of Vernonia lasiopus. To provide information on the safety of V. lasiopus, we evaluated its acute and sub-chronic toxicity ...
