Challenges in Achieving Interoperability in Distributed Systems
(International Journal of Emerging Sciences, 2012)As need for collaboration and distributed systems among organizations increase, there is the challenge of different standards in almost all communication issues. This calls for scrutiny of systems used by different ... -
CHALLENGES OF ELECTRONIC INFORMATION RESOURCES IN ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES
(University of Dar es Salaam Library Journal, 2004)This paper discusses the role of policy for proper and efficient library services in the electronic era. It points out some of the possible dangers of embarking in electronic resources without a proper focus at hand. Thus, ... -
Characterization and productivity profiles of Aedes aegypti (L.) breeding habitats across rural and urban landscapes in western and coastal Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2017)Aedes aegypti, the principal vector for dengue and other emerging arboviruses, breeds preferentially in various man-made and natural container habitats. In the absence of vaccine, epidemiological surveillance and vector ... -
CHARACTERIZATION OF ALGAE OIL (OILGAE) AND ITS POTENTIAL AS BIOFUEL IN KENYA
(JAHES, 2012-05)A survey of microalgae biodiversity in three Kenyan Rift valley lakes identified high oil yielding species abundantly distributed naturally. The species were cultured in BBM and BG-11 media to obtain pure clones and ... -

(Journal of Applied Phytotechnology in Environmental Sanitation, 2012)A survey of microalgae biodiversity in three Kenyan Rift valley lakes identified high oil yielding species abundantly distributed naturally. The species were cultured in BBM and BG-11 media to obtain pure clones and ... -
Characterization of temperature and light effects on the defense response phenotypes associated with the maize Rp1-D21 autoactive resistance gene
(biomedcentral, 2013)Background: Rp1 is a complex locus of maize, which carries a set of genes controlling race-specific resistance to the common rust fungus, Puccinia sorghi. The resistance response includes the “Hypersensitive response” ... -
Chemical Composition and Preservation of Mnazi and Its Distillate (Pyuwa)
(European Journal of Nutrition & Food Safety, 2021)Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is most well-known for the products of its fruit, such as coconut meat, coconut water, coconut milk, and coconut oil. Almost all edible products of the coconut come from the fruit, or “nut” ... -
Classifying fuzzy subgroups of the abelian group Zp1× Zp2×···× Zpn for distinct primes p1, p2,···, pn
(2017)In this paper, we classify the fuzzy subgroups of the group G= Zp1× Zp2×···× Zpn where p1, p2,···, pn are distinct primes and n∈ Z+. We develop an algorithm for counting the distinct fuzzy subgroups of the group G using ... -
Climate Variability and Small-Scale Fisheries in Kenya
(Juniper Publishers Inc., 2019)Small-scale coastal fishing communities in the tropics have varied responses to climate variability constraints. These responses are often part of the different ways in which communities build adaptive capacity and ... -
Clinical chemistry profiles in injection heroin users from Coastal Region, Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2014-07)Although the co-burden of injection drug use and HIV is increasing in Africa, little is known about the laboratory markers of injection drug use and anti-retroviral treatment (ART) in Kenyan injection drug users. This ... -
Cloud Biometric - Ethical implications, authentication, security and usability
(Journal of Information Engineering and Applications, 2014-01-01)The study examines the contribution of personal data stored in the cloud may contain account numbers, passwords, notes, and other critical information that could be used and misused by other users. These data can be cached, ... -
Combined Effect of Recycled Tyre Steel Fibre and Crumb Rubber on Flexural Toughness of Concrete
(International Journal of Innovative Science and Modern Engineering (IJISME), 2017)The disposal of scarp tyres has been environmental concern over the past few decades. Plain Concrete exhibits brittle behaviour which is undesirable property for a structural material resisting dynamic forces. Using used ... -
COMPETENCY MAPPING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON EMPLOYEE RETENTION IN THE TELECOMMUNICATION INDUSTRY IN KENYA
(International Journal of Education and Research, 2021-07)Employee retention is a key driver to the success of organisations in a hyper turbulent business environment. The performance of organisations is greatly determined by the ability to attract, maintain and retain workers ... -
Composition and abundance of deep-water crustaceans in the Southwest Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2015)Expanding coastal fisheries into deeper waters is frequently tabled as an option to increase harvests from the sea in the Southwest Indian Ocean. In this region, only Mozambique and South Africa have established deep-water ... -
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTHS PREDICTION MODEL FOR BAGASSE ASH CONCRETE
(International Journal of Novel Research in Civil Structural and Earth Sciences, 2016)This paper deals with development of regression models for prediction of compressive strength of bagasse ash (BA) concrete. The compressive strength of dry BA concrete was determined using two variables, namely, curing ... -
COMPUTING FUZZY SUBGROUPS OF SOME SPECIAL CYCLIC GROUPS
(Korean Mathematical Society, 2019)In this paper, we discuss the number of distinct fuzzy subgroups of the group ${\mathbb{Z}}_{p^n}{\times}{\mathbb{Z}}_{q^m}{\times}{\mathbb{Z}}_r$, m = 1, 2, 3 where p, q, r are distinct primes for any $n{\in}{\mathbb{Z}}^+$ ... -
Considerations for bridging the Audit Expectation Gap
(African Journal of Commercial Studies, 2022-08)The difference between what the general public and users of financial information believe auditors are responsible for and what auditors actually believe their obligations are is known as the expectation gap. This study ... -
