(Routledge, 2009-03)
Background and purpose: The paper reports a study of the perceptions of teachers in secondary schools in the Gucha district of Kenya of their own effectiveness, the structure of their self-perceptions, variations in ...
An exploration of extra linguistic factors of English – Kiswahili code switching in FM Industry in Kenya.
(Journal of Language Technology and Entreprenuership in Africa, 2009-03-26)
The paper examines English and Kiswahili Code-switching (CS) in Kiss Fm and Easy Fm radio stations in Kenya.CS is a recently formed practice in Fm stations in Kenya. Liberalization of the air waves led to a shift in the ...

The algebra of smooth functions of rapid descent
(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
(Academic Publications, 1/13/2009)
A closed densely defined operator H, on a Banach space X, whose spectrum is contained in R and satisfies
(z −H)−1
≤ c hziα |=z|β ∀ z 6∈ R (0.1) for some α , β ≥ 0; c > 0, is said to be of (α, β)−type R . If instead of (0.1) ...

(Academic Publications, 5/22/2009)
Let J be the Jacobson radical of a commutative completely primary
finite ring R such that J
k 6= (0) and J
k+1 = (0). Then R/J ∼= GF(p

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 ...
