(University of Nairobi, 2015)
This paper presents design experiences for two Non-Governmental organizations and one day-labour organisation working for the informal job seekers and employers—day-labour market. The authors present the three design ...
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 ...
Multistate modelling vertical transmission and determination of r0 using transition intensities
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
In this paper multi-state modelling is used to determine the proba-
bility distribution of the di erent states of vertical transmission of HIV.
We start with a healthy-infected-dead three state model which we then
modify ...
