(Oxford University Press for the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2019)
"Background: Invasive bacterial diseases cause significant disease and death in sub-Saharan Africa. Several are vaccine preventable, although the impact of new vaccines and vaccine policies on disease patterns in these ...
The Occurrence and Pathological Characterization of Rust Causing Fungi of Brachiaria Grass in Kenya
(African Journal of Education Science and Technology, 2019)
Brachiaria grass is one of the most important grasses distributed throughout the tropics especially in Africa. The quality of forage yields and biomass of brachiaria is negatively affected by diseases among which leaf spot, ...
Optimal Kiefer Ordering of Simplex Designs for Third-Degree Mixture Kronecker-Models with three ingredients.
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2019)
This paper investigates the Kiefer optimality in the third-degree Kronecker model for mixture experiments. For
mixture models on the simplex, a better design is obtained, by matrix majorization that yields a larger ...
Parametric Interval Estimation of the Geeta Distribution
(International Journal of Statistics and Probability, 2018)
t is well known that the sample mean is the estimator of a population mean in mathematical statistics from a given population of interest as a point estimator which assume a single number that is obtained ...
Parametric Point Estimation of the Geeta Distribution
(International Journal of Statistical Distributions and Applications, 2018)
Geeta distribution is a new discrete random variable distribution defined over all the positive integers with two parameters. This distribution belongs to the family of Location-parameter (LDPD) system and is of the form ...
BIO-CONTROL OF SELECTED BARLEY FUNGAL PATHOGENS USING Paenibacillus polymyxa KaI245 ISOLATED FROM SORGHUM RHIZOSPHERE IN WESTERN KENYA
(2019)
The use of agrochemicals in agriculture has several advantages but has been reported to
cause phytotoxicity, hazardous to animals and the environment. In a quest to find

Prevalence of Enteric Parasitic Diseases among Patients Referred at a Teaching Hospital in Kenya
(Journal of Health Research and Review, 2018)
Enteric parasitic diseases pose a serious public health problem worldwide and yet are neglected. To refocus attention on these diseases, a cross‑sectional study was conducted to assess the prevalence of enteric infections ...
Modified Phenomenological Formula for the Ground State Energy of Light Nuclei
(World Scientific News, 2019)
A modified phenomenological formula for the ground state binding energy in the region of light nuclei is proposed. Since binding energy is proportional to the volume of a nuclide, the new formula contains a volume term ...
Effects of Mondia Whitei ‘Mukombero’ on Sperm Parameters in Male Albino Rat
(Africa Environmental Review Journal, 2019)
Infertility affects about 8 to 12% of the world’s population and, in about half of cases, men are either the single cause or contribute to the couple’s infertility. Many indigenous plants have been reported to be effective ...
