(2016)This study addresses the effects of selected factors on implementation of inclusive education in regular schools. Objective of the study was to assess the effects of implementation of inclusive education in the programme ... -
Effects of Teacher’s Perception of School Environment On Pupil’s Academic Performance in an Inclusive Classroom: Kenyan Perspective
(2017)Despite education being one of the basic human rights and an empowerment prerequisite, there are various factors that affect the provision of quality education in inclusive public primary schools in Kenya. This paper ... -
Influence of Teacher Characteristics on Academic Performance of Learners with Hearing Impairment in KCPE in Special Primary Schools in Selected Counties, Kenya.
(2019)This study explored the relationships between selected teacher characteristics and academic performance of learners with hearing impairment in Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in special primary schools ... -
Model Post Disaster Reconstruction in Third World Countries, (Case of El Nino Emergency Project– Kenya)
(2007)Following El Nino phenomena that occurred between November 1997 and March 1998, heavy rainfall all over the country caused floods that impacted thirty-five of the seventy-six administrative districts and the provincial ... -
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 ... -
Indigenous Construction Technologies in Flood-Prone Areas of Western Kenya
(2007)Shelter and sanitation are essential for the well-being and development of most societies. The approach and technology for the provision of shelter and sanitation varies with the social, economic and environmental ... -
BIOSAN Latrine for Refugee Camps
(2010)Provision for energy needs, safe water supply and sustenance of environmental quality are among the topmost challenges facing the present human society. Water and sanitation inadequacies also hinder economic and social ... -
Re-evaluating the relevance and quality of education in Kenya: The Role of Mount Kenya University
(2015)The issue of Quality and relevance of Education is a topical area of concern. However, there is no general consensus on the concept of Quality because, like beauty, Quality is in the eyes of the beholder (i.e, Government, ... -
Relationship Between Learning Strategies And Student Performance In Physics In Public Secondary Schools In Nakuru East Sub-County, Kenya
(Open Access Publishing Group, 2018)Education is a key pillar in the Kenya vision 2030 and is also critical to the attainment of sustainable development goals (SDG’s). Dismal academic achievement by students across all levels of education is therefore ... -
Investigation of Temperature effects for a finite elasto-hydrodynamic journal bearing lubricated by Ferro fluids with couple stresses
(2015)The performance of finite elasto-hydrodynamic journal bearings lubricated by ferrofluids with couple stresses has been studied. We derive the energy equation that takes into account magneto elasto-hydrodynamics. The ... -
Modelling Influenza Dynamics with Drug Resistance Aspect
(2017)Despite improvement in medical and public health standards, influenza continues to plague humankind causing high morbidity,mortality and socio-economic cost. Efforts to effectively combat the spread of influenza can be put in ... -
Hydromagnetic Jeffery-Hamel Unsteady Flow of a Dissipative Non-Newtonian Fluid with Nonlinear Viscosity and Skin Friction
(Research India Publications, 2018)In this paper, the unsteady two-dimensional Jeffery-Hamel flow of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid, with nonlinear viscosity and skin friction, flowing through a divergent conduit in the presence of a constant applied ... -
A study of two-phase Jeffery Hamel flow in a geothermal pipe
(IJAAMM, 2018)In this paper a two-phase convergent Jeffrey-Hamel flow in a geothermal pipe concentrated with silica particles and thermophoresis has been studied. The governing equations are equation of mass, momentum, heat transfer ... -
Stability Analysis Using Nonstandard Finite Difference Method and Model Simulation for Multi-Mutation and Drug Resistance with Immune-Suppression.
(2018)We introduced recently a model that takes into account mutation and drug resistance of tumor cells in a case of simple immune system and immune-suppression caused by the resistant cells. The present study is to apply the ... -
Modeling the within-host co-infection of influenza A virus and pneumococcus
(Elsevier, 2018)In this paper a nonlinear mathematical model for a within-host co-infection of influenza A virus and pneumococcus is investigated. Conditions that explain the relations amid RIP and its relationship to the global asymptotic ... -
Kinetic derivation of a Hamilton-Jacobi traffic flow model
(2012)Kinetic models for vehicular traffic are reviewed and considered from the point of view of deriving macroscopic equations. A derivation of the associated macroscopic traffic flow equations leads to different types of ... -
Vegetation dynamics and responses to climate anomalies in East Africa
(2018)Vegetation plays a key role in the global climate system via modification of the water and energy balance. Its coupling to climate is therefore important, particularly in the tropics where severe climate change impacts ... -
Hydrological responses to climate change in Mt. Elgon watersheds
(Elsevier, 2015)Study Region: The Upper catchments of the Nzoia River basin in western Kenya. Study Focus: The potential streamflow responses to climate change in the upper Nzoia River basin are studied. The Soil and Water Assessment ... -
