Interactive comment on “A model of landslide triggering by transient pressure waves
(Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014)Hydraulic diffusivity coefficient in Iverson’s (2000) paper and Pressure head diffusivity coefficient in our manuscript may appear as a matter of semantics, but they do not describe the same physical process, as indicated ... -
Interactive comment on“Hillslope experimentdemonstrates role of convergence during two-stepsaturation”byA. I. Gevaert et al.
(Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014)Based on experimental results, obtained from a large scale physical model, Gevaertet al. (2014) attempt to present an alternative physical process of the formation of agroundwater ridge; its dependence on the shape of a ... -
Interest Rate Risk Management for Commercial Banks in Kenya
(2014)We show empirically that bank’s exposure to interest rate risk or income gap determines the structure of the balance sheet. In particular, we show that in Kenya, commercial banks typically retain a large exposure to ... -

J. of Multidisciplinary and Current research, Vol.6 (Sept/Oct 2018) Effect of Social Correlates on Employee Performance in Public Health Facilities, Turbo Sub County, Kenya
(International Journal of Multidisciplinary and Current Research, 2018-10)In this globalized era, organizations certainly require employees who are high achievers. This calls for a high demand for professionals with skills, hence organizations are virtually required to embrace their ... -
Intersections of the knowledge-power nexus as a precursor to (dis)empowerment and resistance in the poetry of Maya Angelou
(International Journal of Research and Scholarly Communication, 2021-03-13)This article investigates how knowledge and its recursive relation with power is manifested in the poetry of Maya Angelou. It analyses how various contexts, such as the social, political, cultural and ... -
Intersections of voice and agency as strategies for power and resistance in the poetry of Maya Angelou
(Hybrid Journal of Literary and Cultural Studies, 2021-03-13)This article sought to analyse intersections of voice and agency in the poetry of Maya Angelou. It explores how various discourses of marginalization such as those of gender, race and class inform knowledge production ... -
Intervening Effect of Tripartite Consultation On the Performance of State Corporations in Kenya
(International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Management, 2015)The study sought to establish the intervening effect of tripartite consultation between the role of social partners, the tripartite consultation system, the economic change issues, the relationship between social partners ... -
Invasive species in east Africa: current status for informed policy decisions and management
(E. Africa: Status and policy in biological invasions, 2013)Invasive alien species are the second leading cause of biodiversity loss in the world today. A number of hypotheses have been advanced to explain the proliferation of invasive species. These hypotheses include deficiency ... -
Invertebrate drift densities in the Njoro and Kamweti Rivers in the Kenyan highlands that differ in the level of anthropogenic disturbances
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Invertebrate drift is one of several fundamental ecological processes in streams. However, little is known about the dynamics of invertebrate drift in Kenyan streams. In this study, we assessed invertebrate drift in two ... -
