Hybrid Beaming Forming at 60GHz Radio Millimeter Wave for WPAN
(Ijsr, 2018)This paper represent the concept of hybrid beam forming at 60GHz radio millimeter wave for short range communication WPAN. The result of the proposed model under investigation was varied through various cases. That is the ... -
The Impact of Parenting Style on Adolescencents’ Behavioural Problems in Secondary Schools in Mbooni East Dsub County Makueni County-Kenya
(2019)This research project was designed to investigate the impact of parenting styles on adolescents’ behavioral problems in secondary schools in Mbooni East Sub- district, Makueni County, Kenya. It aimed to establish how ... -
Iganfis Data Mining Approach for Forecasting Cancer Threats
(International Journal for Scientific Research & Development, 2014)Healthcare facilities have at their disposal vast amounts of cancer patients’ data. Medical practitioners require more efficient techniques to extract relevant knowledge from this data for accurate decision-making. However ... -
An Automatic Number Plate Recognition System for Car Park Management
(International Journal of Computer Applications Online, 2017-10)Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an internationally recognized methodology that is used in vehicle identification. ANPR systems allow for real time recognition of a vehicle’s number plate. Vehicle parking ... -
A Prototype for Authentication of Secondary School Certificates: A Case of Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education
(Globeedu Group, 2017-08)The demand for educated labor force has increased in developing countries like Kenya. Owing to this fact, more often Universities and training colleges in Kenya enroll students who want to further their education. Meeting ... -
Information And Communication Technology Use Among Teacher Education Students In Universities In Kenya
(IJSTR Research Publication, 2013-11)Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) which involve the integration of telecommunications, computers as well as various software and audio-visual system are becoming the new educational tools especially in ... -
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 ... -
Mapping Vulnerability to Climate Change in Malawi: Spatial and Social Differentiation in the Shire River Basin
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2015)This article analyses vulnerability to climate related shocks across five districts in the shire river basin of Malawi. The analysis employs an indicator approach that integrates biophysical and socio-economic indices. ... -
A global review of the downstream effects of small impoundments on stream habitat conditions and macroinvertebrates
(NRC Research Press, 2015)The downstream ecological effects of large impoundments have previously been reviewed; however, little is known about the downstream ecological effects of small man-made impoundments. In this review, we examine 94 papers ... -
A model of landslide triggering bytransient pressure waves
(Copernicus GmbH, 2014)Previous studies indicate that most rainfall-triggered shallow landslides are initiated by a spike in rainfall intensity, which does not usually occur at the beginning of a critical storm, within which the slide is triggered, ... -
Energy considerations in groundwater-ridging mechanism ofstreamflow generation
(Hydrological Processes, 2015)Groundwater ridging is the rapid rise of a shallow water table during a rainfall event, in an environment where, in the pre-event period, the capillary fringe extends to the ground surface. Groundwater ridging is widely ... -
Transmission of pressure head through the zone of tension saturation in the Lisseeffect phenomenon
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The problem of transmission of pressure head through the zone of tension saturation in the Lisse effect(LE), i.e., the rapid response of groundwater level to pressurized pore air in the unsaturated zone, is investigated ... -
Transient pressure waves in the vadose zone and the rapid water table response
(The Soil Science Society of America, Inc., 2013)The behaviour of a water table is important in understanding groundwater dynamics. In this 11 paper, results are presented of a disproportionate response of a water table in two distinct 12 transient pressure wave ... -
OPTIMAL RAKE RECEIVER MODEL UTILIZING TIME HOPPING IMPULSE RESPONSE ON UWB SYSTEM (WPAN)
(2016)Impulse Radio-Time Hopping-Ultra Wideband (IR-TH-UWB) is a relatively new technology that might have a big effect on improving wireless communication. This technology uses short pulses in order to transmit large amounts ... -

(Current Issues in African Tourism Research, 2017)In this time of globalization and turbulent economic environment, hotel establishments in the world are required to implement new management approaches in order to provide high quality service. Implementation of quality ... -
Relationship between gender and proactive work behaviour in the Kenya’s hotel industry
(African Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Leisure Studies, 2017)According to Kenya National Bureau of Statistics report, (2016), wage employment by industry and sex statistics indicate a majority of males employed in the modern sector than female with accommodation and food service ... -
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. ... -
Evaluation of Kenyan Bentonite Clay as Geothermal Well Drilling Mud
(2015)The quest for the development of geothermal plants with capacities up to 10,000 MWe in Kenya has recently placed greater demand on bentonite clay. Bentonite clay is at present largely imported into the country at the ... -
The Performance of Step-Wise Group Screening Designs
(Sultan Qaboos University, 2015)In this paper we evaluate the performance of step-wise group screening designs in which group-factors contain an equal number of factors in the initial step. A usual assumption in group screening designs is that the ... -
