Barriers to the uptake of postexposure prophylaxis among Nairobi-based female sex workers
(University of Nairobi, 2015-09)
INTRODUCTION:
Female sex workers (FSWs) in sub-Saharan Africa are at a particularly high risk for HIV infection. Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) is available as part of an HIV care and prevention program through dedicated ...
Student Retention Prediction in Higher Learning Institutions: The Machakos University College Case
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Student retention has become one of the most important
priorities for decision makers in higher learning institutions
(HLI). Improving student retention starts with a thorough
understanding of the reasons behind the ...

A Simplified Formalism for Computing Growth Rates for Perturbations in Standard Cosmology
(2015)
We present a simplified formalism for computing growth rates for perturbations within standard
cosmology. We show that converting the perturbation evolution equations into ordinary differen1ia1
equations in terms of ...
Nutrients, functional properties, storage stability and costing of complementary foods enriched with either termites and fish or commercial micronutrients
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Application of edible insects in complementary food production has not been studied much. This study developed and evaluated complementary foods based on edible termites to combat child malnutrition in Kenya. Two complementary ...
Using spectral subspaces to improve infrared spectroscopy prediction of soil properties
(2015)
We propose a method for improving soil property predictions using local calibration models trained on datasets
in spectral subspaces rather that in a global space. Previous studies have shown that local calibrations based ...
Comparing the Performance of Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machines in Text Classification
(2015)
Classification is a supervised learning task whose goal is to infer a prediction model using a training dataset containing instances whose category membership is known, and then using the model to assign class labels to ...
