Water Resources and Management under Increasing Urban Demography: A Kenyan Perspective—A Review
(Journal of Water Resource and Protection, 2018)
The United Nations classifies Kenya as a water-scarce country since it has less than 1000 m3 per capita of renewable freshwater supplies. Numerous factors including global warming, contamination of drinking water, and a ...
Optimal Slope Designs for Second Degree Kronecker Model Mixture Experiments
(Science publishing group, 2017)
The aim of this paper is to investigate some optimal slope mixture designs in the second degree Kronecker modelbn for mixture experiments. The study is restricted to weighted centroid designs, with the second degree ...
Differential Geometry: An Introduction to the Theory of Curves
(Science publishing group, 2017)
Differential geometry is a discipline of mathematics that uses the techniques of calculus and linear algebra to study problems in geometry. The theory of plane, curves and surfaces in the Euclidean space formed the basis ...
Anti-Pyretic Properties of Methanolic Bark Extracts of Terminalia brownii in Wistar Rats ( Rattus novegicus )
(J Pharmacogn Nat Prod, an open access journal, 2016)
The conventional drugs used to manage fever are usually not affordable, not easily available and have adverse side effects. Alternative therapeutic agents, like medicinal plant derivatives, should therefore be developed ...
Anti-Pyretic Properties of Methanolic Bark Extracts of Terminalia brownii in Wistar Rats (Rattus novegicus)
(Journal of oJ Pharmacognosy & Natural Products, 2016)
The conventional drugs used to manage fever are usually not affordable, not easily available and have adverse side effects. Alternative therapeutic agents, like medicinal plant derivatives, should therefore be developed ...
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 ...
