(International Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology, 2020-09)The nutrition situation in flood affected areas in Kenya is precarious and is likely to deteriorate sharply in the coming years. Humanitarian crises exacerbate nutrition risks and poor food consumption practices thereby ... -
NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND DIETARY INTAKE OF MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS AT MOI TEACHING AND REFERRAL HOSPITAL-KENYA
(International Journal of Advanced Research, 2017-05)Critically ill patients are hyper metabolic and have increased nutrient requirements. There is increased catabolism and loss of lean tissue to critical levels after 14 days if patient is starved. The rationale for nutritional ... -
Nutritional status of people who inject drugs in Coastal Kenya: a cross-sectional study
(BMC Nutrition, 2024-04-04)Introduction Despite documentation on injection drug use (IDU) in Kenya, the nutritional status of people who inject drugs (PWIDs) is under-explored. Elsewhere studies report under-nutrition among PWIDs which is attributed ... -
Nutritional yield and nutritional water productivity of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) under varying irrigation water regimes
(Water SA, 2020-07)There is a need to mainstream traditional crops in sub-Saharan Africa, in order to tackle food and nutritional insecurity through incorporating nutritional quality into crop water productivity, in the wider context of the ... -
NVESTIGATION ON PRACTICES OF SUPPLEMENTS AS PRFORMANCE ENHANCING SUBSTANCES AMONG KENYAN ELITE MIDDLE AND LONG DISTANCE RUNNERS
(International Journal of Education and Research, 2020-12)Research has demonstrated that elite athletes use supplements to enhance performance. The purpose of the study was to assess the current practices on the use of banned substances among elite athletes. The study hypothesized ... -
Occurrence and distribution of cassava begomoviruses in Kenya

On A Class of Idealized Near-Rings Admitting Frobenius Derivations.
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020-07-15)In this paper, we use the idealization procedure for finite rings to construct a class of quasi-3 prime Near-Rings N with a Jordan ideal J(N) and admitting a Frobenius derivation. The structural characterization of N; J(N) ... -
On Certain Spaces of Ideal Operators
(SCIENCE MUNDI, 2023-11-16)We determine some important spaces of ideal operators and ideal characteristics. Special consideration is given to Frechet spaces, Spaces of finite rank operators and spaces of Hahn-Banach extension operators. The ... -
On Characterization of Norm Attaining Operators in Fr´echet Spaces
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2022-10-25)In this paper, the norm attaining operators in Fr´echet spaces are considered. These operators are characterized based on their density, normality, linearity and compactness. It is shown that the image is dense for a ... -
On Some Aspects of Compactness in Metric Spaces
(AFRICAN SCIENTIFIC ANNUAL REVIEW, 2024-04-17)In this paper, we investigate the generalizations of the concepts from Heine-Borel Theorem and the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem to metric spaces. We show that the metric space X is compact if every open covering has a finite ... -
