NUTRITIONAL STATUS OF ADULT MALE ON ART AT KERICHO DISTRICT HOSPITAL, KERICHO COUNTY, KENYA
(2016-08)Background: Nutrition and HIV are strongly related and any immune impairment as a result of HIV leads to malnutrition while malnutrition leads to immune impairment and thus worsens the effect of HIV. Individuals living ... -
The nutritional status of pulmonary tuberculosis patients aged 25-44 years attending tuberculosis clinic at Lodwar County and Referral Hospital, Turkana County, Kenya
(2017-01)Kenya is ranked thirteenth of the twenty two high-burden tuberculosis countries in the world and fifth highest in Africa. The majority of the people affected by TB in Turkana Central District were aged 25 - 44 years, with ... -
Nutritional vulnerability of older persons living in urban areas of Lake Victoria Basin in East Africa: a cross sectional survey.
(Journal of Nutrition in Gerentology and Geriatrics, 2012)The aim of this study was to (1) determine the prevalence of malnutrition and (2) investigate factors affecting nutritional status of older persons living in urban areas of Lake Victoria Basin. The prevalence of underweight ... -
On Singular Cauchy Problem of Euler-Poisson- Darboux Equation
(2016)We solve the singular Cauchy problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation. The Riemann function, a solution corresponding to the adjoint equation is calculated and it enables us to evaluate any solution at a point by the ... -

(2015-07)The study investigated the implementation of the Facebook campaign in general elections in Kenya. The study utilized the mixed methods sequential explanatory design. Quantitative data was drawn, followed by qualitative ... -
Onward and Return Migrations: Migrant Characters in Hisham Matars’ The Return (2017) and A Month in Siena (2019)
(2021-07)Migration scholars have divergent views concerning the experiences of migrant characters in foreign nations. The first group of scholars suggest that migrant characters are never settled and because of disarticulating ... -
Optimal Battery Sizing of a Grid-connected Residential Photovoltaic System for Cost Minimization using PSO Algorithm
(2019)This paper proposes a new optimization technique that uses Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in residential grid connected photovoltaic systems. The optimization technique targets the sizing of the battery storage system. ... -
Optimal location of TCSC and its use in congestion management
(2015)Over the last two decades, electricity demand has increased substantially while the expansion of generation and transmission network has been limited due to environmental and/or economic constraints of building new ... -
Optimal siting and sizing of single SPV system in radial distribution network for loss reduction based on maximum power saving technique
(2016)This paper presents the optimal placement of aSPV (Solar Photovoltaic) system in thedistribution system using the backward and forward sweep method based on the analytical maximum power saving technique for the maximum ... -
Optimal Switching Sequence using a Metaheuristic Algorithm for Feeder Reconfiguration
(International Research Publication House, 2018)Electrical energy is continuously lost due to resistance in the power system networks. Distribution system experience enormous power losses as compared to the rest of the network. Solutions that reduce distribution power ... -
Optimal under frequency load shedding using CUCKOO search wirh levy flight algorith for frequency stability improvement.
(2015)Frequency stability in a power system is very important as it determines the synchronous speed of electrical machines. Therefore it should remain within acceptable limits even when the system is disturbed. In order to ... -
Optimal under-voltage load shedding using cuckoo search with levy flight algorithm for voltage stability improvement
(2015)Voltage stability has become a serious threat of modern power system operation nowadays. To tackle this problem properly, load shedding is a countermeasure taken as a last resort. However, its consequences might result in ... -
Optimization of Germination Conditions Of Melia volkensii By Response Surface Methodology
(2016-09)Germination of Melia volkensii was modelled using response surface methodology (rsm) whereby second order models were developed and the associated response surfaces analyzed. The factors under investigation were soil pH, ... -
Optimization of Split-Plot Design in the Context of Mixture Process Variable Settings
(2021-04)In the presence of process variables, a mixture design has become well-known in statistical modeling due to its utility in modeling the blending surface, which empirically predicts any mixture's response and serves as the ... -
