Load Balanced Network: Design, Implementation and Legal Consideration Issues
(Transactionss on Networks and Communication, 201-09-14)Computer networks have become extremely useful in the modern fast paced work and business environments. Every user of a computing device- desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile phones- wants to connect to a network and ... -
How Traditions On Newly Born Infants Influence Infant Mortality In Butula Sub-County, Busia County, Kenya
(Exclusive Journal Publishing House, 1/1/2020)In most developing countries of the world high infant mortality is still a major concern that has been recognized as an issue that warrants serious attention. In Kenya, cultural factors like emphasis on large families are ... -
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) ... -
Conditions for Positivity of Operators in Non-unital C*-algebras
(International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 1/9/2015)In this paper, we present results on the necessary and sufficient condi-tions for positivity of operators in non-unital C*- algebras -
Our women must return home: Institutionalized patriarchy in colonial Central Nyanza District, 1945-1963
(Journal of Asian and African Studies, 10/22/2010)Colonial policies and practices were very instrumental in the creation of the Luo Diaspora. This Diaspora extended far beyond the physical and cultural boundaries of Central Nyanza as was constituted by the colonial ... -
On Characterization of Very Rotund Banach Spaces
(International Journal of Modern Computation, Information and Communication Technology, 10/23/2018)It is known that the Hilbert space H is the most rotund space among all Banach spaces. The question whether if a normed space X is a rotund Banach space implies we can obtain other most rotund spaces is still open and ... -
Widow inheritance and HIV prevalence in Bondo District, Kenya: Baseline results from a prospective cohort study
(PLOS, 11/17/2010)Background Widow Inheritance is a widespread cultural practice in sub-Saharan Africa that has been postulated as contributing to risk of HIV transmission. We present baseline results from a study designed to investigate ... -
Conflict resolution among pastoral communities in west Pokot County, Kenya: a missing link
(Academic Research International, 11/3/2012)Conflicts and conflict resolutions among pastoral communities are not new phenomena. Among the pastoral communities living in arid and semi arid environments of Kenya, conflicts over control of and access to natural resources ... -
A Combination of Dividend and Jump Diffusion Process on Heston Model in Deriving Black Scholes Equation
(International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 12/10/2021)The reality that exists in a stock market situation is that assets do pay dividend to owners of assets or derivative securities. Dupire, Derman and Kani built an option pricing process with a dividend yielding diffusion ... -
Norm-Attainability and Range-Kernel Orthogonality of Elementary Operators
(Communications in Advanced Mathematical Sciences, 12/24/2018)Various aspects of elementary operators have been characterized by many mathematicians. In this paper, we consider norm-attainability and orthogonality of these operators in Banach spaces. Characterizations and generalizations ... -
Capacities and governance in Kenya: Lessons in technology transfer
(Springer, Cham, 12/4/2013)First, the authors set the scene by exploring the main lines of the present development debate. They take a nuanced stand, not only looking at failures of Western development initiatives, but also going into the internal ... -
Derivation of Black Scholes Equation Using Heston’s Model with Dividend Yielding Asset
(International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 12/5/2021)Black Scholes formula is crucial in modern applied finance. Since the introduction of Black – Scholes concept model that assumes volatility is constant; several studies have proposed models that address the shortcomings ... -
Formulating Black Scholes Equation Using a Jump Diffusion Heston’s Model
(International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 12/7/2021)In modern financial mathematics, accurate values are obtained by taking into account a considerable number of more realistic assumptions in logistic Black Scholes equation. The aspects considered here are cost of transactions ... -
Multiobjective programming of income and employment generation in small scale agriculture: a case study from Kenya
(IDEAS, 1981)The major objective of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of generating substantially higher (20 percent or more) income and employment in Kenyan small scale agriculture under various policy options, using data ... -
Pathogenicity of Trichomonas hominis in Kenya
(1988-08)An in vitro study of the antinematodal action of two groups of compounds which act on the receptor complex of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in mammalian systems is described. The compounds, ... -
Comparison of four nitroimidazole compounds for treatment of symptomatic amoebiasis in Kenya.
(PubMed, 1989)Four antiamoebic drugs currently used in many Kenyan hospitals and health centres were compared for their efficacy on symptomatic luminal amoebiasis in Kiambu, Kilifi, and Machakos hospitals during this study. The drugs ... -

A study of the efficacy and safety of albendazole (Zentel) in the treatment of intestinal helmenthiasis in Kenyan children less than 2 years of age
(PubMed, 1989-03)One hundred children comprising of 57 males and 43 females aged between 8 and 24 months entered the study. 46 children had single and 54 children had multiple helminth infections. All children received albendazole 200 mg ... -
The potential of schistosomal skin test as a diagnostic method in the detection of schistosomiasis.
(NCBI, 1989-07)One hundred and sixty seven volunteer medical students were exposed to intradermal skin tests for schistosomiasis. 35(21%) were positive. On further screening using routine stool and urine examinations, only 11(6.6%) were ... -
The efficacy of 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1 (ivermectin) acting singly or in combination with a benzodiazepine on microfilariae of Onchocerca species and Brugia pahangi (an in vitro study)
(ELSEVIER, 1989-07)An in vitro study of the antinematodal action of two groups of compounds which act on the receptor complex of the inhibitory neurotransmitter, Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GAGA) in mammalian systems is described. The compounds, ...
