Characterization of norm inequalities for elementary operators
(International Journal of Modern Science and Technology, 2017)Studies on the norms of the elementary operators on JB* -algebras Prime C * -algebras, Calkin algebras and standard operator algebras has been considered. In this paper, we characterize norm inequalities for Jordan elementary ... -

Interferon-γ responses to Plasmodium falciparum vaccine candidate antigens decrease in the absence of malaria transmission
(Peer J, 2017-01-10)Background Malaria elimination campaigns are planned or active in many countries. The effects of malaria elimination on immune responses such as antigen-specific IFN- γ responses are not well characterized. Methods IFN- ... -
Institutional determinants of charitable funds generation by lottery organizations: a case of Kenya Charity Sweepstake
(IAJHRBA, 2017-08)The purpose of this study was to assess the factors affecting generation of charitable funds by the KCS. Specifically, the study assessed the effect of four key aspects namely: distribution and marketing channels; the ... -
New conditions for counteractivity of normality operators
(2017-08)An interesting area in operator theory is the study of norm inequalities for Hilbert space operators. Many mathematicians have worked on this subject, for example in [2, 3 and 5]. On the other hand, contractive and ... -
New conditions for contractivity of normaloid operators
(Journal of Global Research in Mathematical Archives, 2017-08)In this paper we establish new conditions for contractivity of normaloid operators. We employ some results for contractivity due to Furuta, Nakomoto, Arandelovic and Dragomir. A particular generalization is also given. -
Norm bounds for contractive normality operators
(2017-08)In this paper we establish the upper and lower norm estimates of contractive normaloid operators using inner product, Schwarz inequality for non-negative real numbers and some operator inequalities. -
Animal-related factors associated with moderate-to-severe diarrhea in children younger than five years in western Kenya: A matched case-control study
(PLOS, 2017-08-04)Background Diarrheal disease remains among the leading causes of global mortality in children younger than 5 years. Exposure to domestic animals may be a risk factor for diarrheal disease. The objectives of this study ... -
Strategies for enhancing teachers’ self-efficacy in secondary schools
(Asian Research Journal of Arts & Social Sciences, 2018)Aim: To determine strategies for enhancing self-efficacy among secondary school teachers. Sample: The study population was 1790 teachers in 143 public secondary schools from which a sample of 12 teachers was drawn using ... -
Knowledge, practices and perception of health care workers on diagnosis of childhood tuberculosis: a case study of Bureti Sub County, Kericho, Kenya
(INDIAN JOURNAL OF APPLIED RESEARCH, 2018)Background: Despite the advances in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, effective diagnosis remains a challenge among children. Several countries have rolled out effective diagnostic methods but capacity of health care workers ... -
Characterization of inner derivations induced by norm-attainable operators
(International Journal of Modern Science and Technology, 2018)In the present paper, results on characterization of inner derivations in Banach algebras are discussed.Some techniques are employed for derivations due to Mecheri, Hacene, Bounkhel and Anderson. Let H be an infinite ... -
Experience and perceptions on preterm births among women attending ANC Clinic at Kisumu County Hospital, Kenya
(Researchjournali’s Journal of Public Health, 2018-03)Preterm birth is one of the main causes of neonatal death, and it is now the second leading cause of death after pneumonia in children under the age of five. Kenya is estimated to have 12.3% preterm births and 22 ... -
“We don’t want our clothes to smell smoke”: changing malaria control practices and opportunities for integrated community-based management in Baringo, Kenya
(Springer Nature, 2018-05-09)Background: The decline in global malaria cases is attributed to intensified utilization of primary vector control interventions and artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). These strategies are inadequate in many ... -
Distance Effects on Diversity and Abundance of the Flower Visitors of Ocimum kilimandscharicum in the Kakamega Forest Ecosystem
(Hindawi International Journal of Biodiversity, 2018-08-28)Pollination is an important ecosystem service in the maintenance of biodiversity and most importantly in food production. Pollination is on the decline due to habitat loss, exotic species invasions, pollution, overharvesting, ... -
Does age matter? Job satisfaction of public secondary school teachers.
(International Journal of Scientific Research, 2018-09)Job satisfaction is a globally important factor in determining organizational climate and subsequent worker productivity. In Kenya, job dissatisfaction is a major concern as evidenced by teacher burnout and the strikes in ... -
Analgesics from Lonchocarpus eriocalyx Harms
(Islamic Azad University, Shahrood Branch Press,, 2018-12-13)Four lupane-type terpenoids, namely lupeol (1), friedelin (2), stigmasterol (3), and stigmasterol-3-O-glucoside (4) were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of leaves of Lonchocarpus eriocalyx Harms. These ... -
Larval species diversity, seasonal occurrence and larval habitat preference of mosquitoes transmitting Rift Valley fever and malaria in Baringo County, Kenya
(BMC, 2019)Background: Baseline information that is essential for determining the areas to target with larval control includes estimates of vector diversity and larval habitat preferences. Due to a lack of such information in Baringo ... -
