Evaluation of Intelligent Grouping Based on Learners’ Collaboration Competence Level in Online Collaborative Learning Environment
(2016)
In this paper we explore the impact of an intelligent grouping algorithm based on learners’ collaborative
competency when compared with (a) instructor based Grade Point Average (GPA) method level and (b)
random method, ...
Numerical simulation of vibration of horizontal cylinder induced by progressive waves
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Maritime structures often comprise cylinders of small diameter relative to the prevailing wave length. This paper describes the direct forcing immersed boundary simulation of the hydroelastic behaviour of a rigid, horizontal ...
Anatomical features of renal artery in a black Kenyan population: Correlation with markers of atherosclerosis
(2016)
Knowledge of anatomical features of the renal artery is important in prediction, management and control of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. These features show population variations but data from black African ...
A robust magnetic resonance imaging method based on compressive sampling and clustering of sparsifying coefficients
(Kiragu H, Kamucha G, Mwangi E. A Robust Magnetic Resonance Imaging Method Based on Compressive Sampling and Clustering of Sparsifying Coefficients. Limassol, Cyprus ; 2016., 2016)
This paper presents a novel and robust method for medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The proposed method utilizes the sparsity as well as clustering of the image coefficients in the wavelet transform sparsifying ...
Hepatitis B infection is highly prevalent among patients presenting with jaundice in
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Viral hepatitis is a major concern worldwide, with hepatitis A (HAV) and E (HEV) viruses showing sporadic outbreaks while hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses are associated with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular ...
Identification and Sorting of Materials With Portable Libs Before Decommissioning
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a technique of elemental analysis. A laser beam is
focused on the surface of the sample to be analyzed. A small quantity of matter is ablated and a plasma
formed by the ...
Radiological Mapping of the Alkaline Intrusive Complex of Jombo, South Coastal Kenya by In-Situ Gamma-Ray Spectrometry
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Carbonatites and alkaline intrusive complexes are rich in a variety of mineral deposits such as rare earth elements
(REEs), including Nb, Zr and Mn. These are often associated with U and Th bearing minerals, including ...
Variations Of Pulmonary Veins And Their Clinical Relevance
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Variations of pulmonary veins (PV) were previously considered rare, only documented as isolated case reports.
Recent cadaveric, autopsy, CT, MDCT and MRI studies have revealed substantial variations with respect to ...
Optical properties of amorphous Se90-XIn10SbX thin film alloys
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Ternary thin film alloys of Se90-XIn10SbX (x = 1, 4, 10, 15 and 20) were synthesised by flash evaporation of the pre-melt quenched bulk samples under a vacuum of 10−5 Torr. Optical absorption analysis pointed to indirect ...
Room temperature stable carbetocin for the prevention of postpartum haemorrhage during the third stage of labour in women delivering vaginally: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2016)
Background
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality in low-income countries and contributes to nearly a quarter of maternal deaths globally. The current available interventions for prevention ...
