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 ...
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 ...
Wildebeest-associated malignant catarrhal fever: perspectives for integrated control of a lymphoproliferative disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa.
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Wildebeest-associated malignant catarrhal fever (WA-MCF), an acute lymphoproliferative disease of cattle caused by alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1), remains a significant constraint to cattle production in nomadic ...
Economic evaluation of foliar NPK fertilizer on tea yields in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Economic evaluation analysis of foliar (NPK) fertilizer on tea yields was investigated on three varieties of tea grown in the Kenyan Highlands. Foliar fertilizers trial was setup on three sites, Meru, Kirinyaga and Kericho, ...
Comparing PSO and GA Optimizers in MLP to Predict Mobile Traffic Jam Times
(2015)
Freely-usable frequency spectrum is dwindling quickly in the face of increasingly greater demand. As mobile
traffic overwhelm the frequency allocated to it, some frequency bands such as for terrestrial TV are insufficiently ...

Application of Raman spectroscopy in detection of Aflatoxin B1 in maize kernels
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Use of Raman spectroscopy in detecting aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in maize kernels is reported. Distinct difference between AFB1 contaminated and uncontaminated kernels were observed from Raman spectral profiles obtained after ...
