The dilemma of career choice: a case study of Kenyan secondary school students
(Scholarly Research Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies, 2012)The purpose of this study was to investigate the variables that influence career choice among secondary school students in Kenya. The study was guided by two objectives: to determine the influence of peer groups on ... -
Dinka Community Case Study
(Springer Link, 2022-03)This case study explores the therapeutic power of indigenous rituals to heal the trauma experienced by Dinka victims and perpetrators of armed conflict. Field data reveals that the Dinka diagnosed as suffering from ... -
Discussion on Generalized Modified Inverse Rayleigh
(2018-01-01)In this paper, a generalization of the modified inverse Rayleigh distribution called the new exponentiated generalized modified inverse Rayleigh distribution is proposed and studied. Various sub-models of the new distribution ... -
Dissipation Behavior of Malathion and DimethoateResidues from the Soil and Their Uptake by Garden Pea(Pisum sativum)
(Environmemental Contamination and Toxicology, 2000)The contamination of soil by pesticide chemicals can occur through direct application to control some inhabiting insect pests of a variety of economic plants while indirect avenues can occur through aerial ... -
The dissipation and degradation of methoxy‐ 14C malathion in soil under tropical conditions
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2000)l4C-malathion[S-1,2-bis(ethoxycarbonyl) ethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate] has been studied in soil under tropical field conditions by applying the 14C-malathion pesticide to soil in Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes ... -
The dissipation of malathion and dimethoate from the pea plants (Pisum sativum) under controlled conditions
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)4C-malathion, [S-1,2-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate] and 14C-dimethoate, [O,O-dimethyl S-(N-methylcarbamoylmethyl)phosphorodithioate] have been admin-istered to leaves of pea (Pisum ... -
Distributed Slack Bus Model for a Wind-Based Distributed Generation using Combined Participation Factors
(International Journal of Emerging Technology and Advanced Engineering, 2012)With the increased penetration of distributed generation into the power distribution system, the traditional load flow analysis that assumes a single slack bus has become impractical. The existing literature focuses on ... -
Distributive and Quantile Treatment Effects: Imputation Based Estimators Approach
(Journal of Statistical and Econometric Methods, 2018)This paper develops two new classes of estimators measuring the distributive effects of a treatment on a population. Using imputation methods, empirical quantile and bootstrap simulations, we managed to define and study ... -
Do Kenyan University STEM Graduates Possess Employable Skills for the Job Market?
(European Journal of Education Studies, 2021)Economic growth world over is based on the supply and availability of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics graduates due to their desired skills. However, a major concern in ... -
Do Smallholder Farmers Perceive Rainfall Variability the Same and Correctly? Gendered and Spatial Analysis of Perception Versus Actual Trends of Rainfall in Three Livelihood Zones in Kenya
(Journal of Environment and Earth Science, 2018)In this paper we compared perceived rainfall variability with actual rainfall variability using a more nuanced and mixed approach in order to understand the influence of gender dynamics and spatial location on perceptions. ... -
Does Board Diversity Leadership affect corporate decisions and risk control? Evidence from Kenyan Commercial Banks
(2012)The aim of this paper is to provide preliminary analysis of the relationship between corporate decisions, risk taking behavior and gender diversity. Using a panel of 28 Kenyan banks over the period 2000-2009, the study ... -
Does the exclusion of meiofauna affect the estimation of biotic indices using stream invertebrates?
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Biomonitoring of rivers is usually undertaken using information based on macroinvertebrate assemblages. However, exclusion of meiofauna (i.e. invertebrates less than 0.5 mm in size) when sorting benthic invertebrates can ... -
Drivers of Forest Cover Change and Indicators of Climate Change in Katimok Forest Reserve
(2016)The conversion of forests into other land uses as well as unsustainable utilization of forest resources leads to a reduction in the area, quality and quantity of the forest cover and ecosystem services. Changes in ... -
