Machine Learning Protocol for Secure 5G Handovers
(JOOUST, 2022-01-27)The fifth generation (5G) networks are characterized with ultra-dense deployment of base stations with limited footprint. Consequently, user equipment’s handover frequently as they move within 5G networks. In addition, 5G ... -
Magnetocaloric Effect and Sign Reversal of Magnetic Entropy Change Across the Spin Reorientation Temperature in R3Fe5O12 (R = Gd, Dy)
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)The cubic structure with space group Ia3‾d for Gd3Fe5O12 and Dy3Fe5O12 are successfully synthesized and the magnetic behaviors are studied in details. The dc magnetization measurements show that an obvious negative ... -
Malaria hotspot areas in a highland Kenya site are consistent in epidemic and non-epidemic years and are associated with ecological factors
(BMC, 2006)Background Malaria epidemics in highland areas of East Africa have caused considerable morbidity and mortality in the past two decades. Knowledge of "hotspot" areas of high malaria incidence would allow for focused ... -
Malaria morbidity among school children living in two areas of contrasting transmission in Western Kenya
(The American Society of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2005)Research in malaria-endemic areas is usually focused on malaria during early childhood. Less is known about malaria among older school age children. The incidence of clinical attacks of malaria was monitored, using active ... -
Malaria Transmission after Artemether-Lumefantrine and Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine: A Randomized Trial
(The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013-03-06)Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) reduces the potential for malaria transmission compared with non-ACTs. It is unclear whether this effect differs between ACTs. Methods. A total of 298 children (age, 6 months ... -
Malaria vector abundance is associated with house structures in Baringo County, Kenya
(PLO, 2018-06-11)Malaria, a major cause of morbidity and mortality, is the most prevalent vector borne disease in Baringo County; a region which has varied house designs in arid and semi-arid areas. This study investigated the association ... -
Malaria vector species distribution and seasonal population dynamics across varied ecological zones in Baringo County, Kenya
(Journal of Mosquito Research, 2017)Vector populations fluctuate on a seasonal basis annually. Knowledge on seasonal abundance and distribution of vector species at the local level would improve vector control programmes and contribute to malaria prevention. ... -
Management of University curriculum in a rapidly changing environment: challenges and prospects.
(Academicresearchjournal, 2015-01-02)Political and socio-economic changes sweeping across societies together with globalization, scientific and technological processes are creating an increasingly competitive environment for universities in Africa. Therefore, ... -

Management support in adoption of computer integrated model in financial forecast
(HR mars, 2014-04)Management Support is crucial to survival and success of organizations where managers are decision makers of the adoption of Computer Integrated Model (CIM) that is intended to contribute to the performance or effectiveness ... -
Manifestation of formal and informal code switching in Nairobi, Kenya
(SAVAP International, 2012)This paper discusses Manifestations of Code Switching in Nairobi. The main objective is to examine the influence of Variables such as Formality and Informality of the conversation context in Code Switching and Code selection. ... -
Manipulative lowering of the water table during summer does not affect CO2 emissions and uptake in a fen in Germany
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)We simulated the effect of prolonged dry summer periods by lowering the water table on three manipulation plots (D1–3) in a minerotrophic fen in southeastern Germany in three years (2006–2008). The water table at this site ... -
Map-Based Functional Analysis of the GhNLP Genes Reveals Their Roles in Enhancing Tolerance to N-Deficiency in Cotton
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-10-08)Nitrogen is a key macronutrient needed by plants to boost their production, but the development of cotton genotypes through conventional approaches has hit a bottleneck due to the narrow genetic base of the elite cotton ... -
Mapping potential Anopheles gambiae s.l.larvaldistribution using remotely sensed climatic andenvironmental variables in Baringo, Kenya
(PubMed, 2018-06-21)Anopheles gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae) is responsible for the transmission of the devastating Plasmodium falciparum (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) strain of malaria in Africa. This study investigated the relationship ... -
A mass insecticide-treated bed net distribution campaign reduced malaria risk on an individual but not population level in a highland epidemic-prone area of Kenya
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020-12-02)In epidemic-prone areas of the western highlands, the Kenya Ministry of Health conducted campaigns of indoor residual spraying (IRS) of households, followed by mass distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs), as ... -
Maternal Health Care Choices among Women in Lunga Lunga Sub County in Kwale County-Kenya
(World Journal of Innovative Research, 2020)Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality are major public health concerns in most developing countries and in under resourced settings. Provision of safe motherhood is of utmost importance in the reduction of maternal ... -
