Farmer Perceptions on Indigenous Pig Farming in Kakamega District, Western Kenya
(2010)
Objectives for this paper were to: study farmer beliefs and perceptions on local pig farming
practices; and to explore opportunities for improved located production in selected villages of Western Kenya. The paper seeks ...
On the Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure and Multinomial Lattices with Cumulants
(2012)
In this article, we describe with relevant examples based on empirical data how to
use the minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) to price European and American Options
in multinomial lattices which take into account ...
On spectral properties of -commuting operators in Hilbert spaces
(2012)
Let B(H) denote the Banach algebra of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert
space H and let A;B 2 B(H) satisfying the equation; AB = BA; 2 C;AB 6= 0, where C
denotes the complex number eld. In this case A and ...
In vitro effects of Warburgia ugandensis, Psiadia punctulata and Chasmanthera dependens on Leishmania major promastigotes.
(2010)
Plant extracts from Warburgia ugandensis Sprague (Family: Canellaceae), Psiadia punctulata Vatke (Family: Compositae) and Chasmanthera dependens Hoschst (Family: Menispermaceae) were tested for activity on Leishmania major ...
The relationship between functional absence of the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis to the fifth digit and absence of the Palmaris Longus2013
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Background:
The Palmaris Longus (PL) and the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS) to the fifth
digit are both highly variable muscles and there has been controversy as to whether there is a link in their absences.

Using Nylon Strips to Dispense Mosquito Attractants for Sampling the Malaria Vector Anopheles gambiae s.s.
(Entomological Society of America, 2010)
Synthetic versions of human derived kairomones can be used as baits when trapping
host seeking mosquitoes. The effectiveness of these lures depends not only on their attractiveness to
the mosquitoes but also on the medium ...
Impact of land use on the distribution and diversity of entomopathogenic nematodes in Embu and Taita districts, Kenya
(2011)
Natural entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are considered as potential biological control agents against soil-borne insect pests. This study was conducted to determine the impact of land use on the distribution, occurrence ...
Putnam’s inequality for n-Power normal, n-Power quasinormal and w-hyponormal operators,
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Every reducible operator can be decomposed into normal and completely non-normal operators.
Unfortunately, there are several non normal operators which are irreducible. However, every
operator whose self-commutator is ...
Temperature-dependent feeding interactions between two invasive fishes competing through interference and exploitation
(University of Nairobi, 2012-06)
Context-dependent ecological interactions between invasive species are important in determining the outcomes of their introductions. The consequences of competitive interactions between the Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus ...
