(2009)This study investigated the abundance and control of malaria mosquito larvae in a traditional water management agro-ecosystem of Kasagam, Kisumu City, western Kenya. The study of larval habitats of malaria vectors is ... -
Assessment of the Level of Compliance by the Universities to their ICT Security Policies: A Survey of Kisumu and Siaya Counties
(JOOUST, 2015)Today, almost all organizations around the world are using Information Communication Technology (ICT) in their daily business. An lCT policy safeguards Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (ClA) of ... -
Bilateral Shifts and Spectrum of Compact Operations
(JOOUST, 2018)Shift operators are important operators in functional analysis in the study of other operators like compact operators, finite operators, normal opera-tors among others. Left shifts, right shifts and unilateral shifts have ... -
Characterization of Fungal Leaf Spot Disease and Varietal Susceptibility in Sweet Potato (Ipomoea Batatas L.) Grown in Parts of Western Kenya
(JOOUST, 2022)Increased human population has led to increased vulnerabilities to hunger and reduced sources of affordable food. Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a root vegetable with large, starchy, tuberous roots, consumed worldwide. ... -
Characterization of Orthogonal Polynomials in Norm-Attainable Classes
(JOOUST, 2023)Orthogonal polynomials within the realm of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space (B(H )) hold a crucial role in operator theory, functional analysis, and various other fields. While significant research has been ... -
Characterization of similarity Orbits of Invariant Subspaces of Norm- Attainable Operators.
(JOOUST, 2019)The notion of similarity orbits(S (T)) of Hilbert space operators have been extensively investigated by many researchers such as Herrero, Fialkow and Had- win among others. Various properties of S (T) such as closure ... -
Characterization of Topological Points in Big Data Sets of Hausdorff Spaces
(JOOUST, 2023)Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is an important aspect in the field of topological data theory since the 21st century’s first decade. Modern TDA utilizes the structural characteristics of Big Data (BD), otherwise known as ... -
The complimentary role of wild habitats in crop pollination: A case study on the eggplant (Solatium melongena L., Solanaceae)
(2001)In this study, carried out in Nguruman, southwestern Kenya, 10 bee species were identified as eggplant pollinators. Their foraging behaviour was shown to be affected by the prevailing ambient temperature and not time of ... -
Correlation Between Preparation Methods and Optical Properties of Chitosan from Shrimp for Application in Optoelectronic Devices
(JOOUST, 2022)Over the recent years, the global increase of electronic wastes from electrical and electronic devices (e-wastes) have been on an alarming trend in quantity and toxicity and e-waste are non-biodegradable resulting into its ... -
The Influence of ICT Usage on Academic Performance in Secondary Schools in Rarieda Sub-County of Siaya County.
