Phenomenology Approach Applicability in Information Systems and Technology Field
(Horizon Research Publishing Corporation, 2020-05)Phenomenology is a research approach that is uniquely positioned to help scholars learn from the experience of others. Even though it is a powerful research approach, the nature of phenomenology is qualitatively requiring ... -
Mathematical Modelling of the Role of Interference on the Transmission Dynamics and Management of Hiv and Aids
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2018-09-22)In this paper, a deterministic mathematical model incorporating interference is developed and analysed to investigate the role of interference on the transmission dynamics and management of HIV and AIDS. The model is shown ... -
MODELLING THE DYNAMICS OF RADICALIZATION WITH GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION
(Neural, Parallel, and Scientific Computations, 2020-03)ABSTRACT: Radicalization is the process by which people come to adopt in- creasingly extreme political, social or religious ideologies. When radicalization leads to violence, radical thinking becomes a threat to national ... -
Modelling In Vivo HIV Dynamics under Combined Antiretroviral Treatment
(Journal of Applied Mathemetics, 2018-12-10)In this paper a within host mathematical model for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) transmission incorporating treatment is formulated. The model takes into account the efficacy of combined antiretroviral treatment on ... -
Incidence and severity of bean common mosaic disease and resistance of popular bean cultivars to the disease in western Kenya
(Journal of Phytopathology, 2020-07-01)The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is a high protein crop and the main legume in the cropping system of western Kenya. Despite its importance, common bean yields are low (<1.0 t/ha) and declining. Bean common mosaic virus ... -
RNA sequence analysis of diseased groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) reveals the full genome of groundnut rosette assistor virus (GRAV)
(Virus Research, 2019-12-10)The complete genome sequences for two variant isolates of groundnut rosette assistor virus (GRAV) have been determined from symptomatic groundnut plants in western Kenya. The sequences of the two GRAV isolates (sc7.1 and ... -
First Full Length Genome Sequence of Bean Common Mosaic Necrosis Virus (BCMNV) Isolated from Common Bean in Western Kenya
(International Journal of Genetics and Genomics, 2019-12-02)Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) is one of the most common and most destructive viruses of common bean and can cause a yield loss as high as 100%. The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) is an important legume crop ... -
Density Dependent Delayed Migration for Rosenzweig-Macaurther Model with Holling Type II Predator Functional Response
(Asian Research Journal of Mathematics, 2019-10-28)The model describing the interaction between the predator and prey species is referred to as a predator-prey model. The migration of these species from one patch to another may not be instantaneous. This may be due to ... -
An ImmunoEpidemiological Model for HIV/AIDS Incorporating Viral and Cellular Transmission with Antiretroviral Treatment Applied Mathematical Sciences
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2019)In this paper an immuno-epidemiological model for HIV and AIDS incorporating viral and cellular transmission with antiretroviral treat- ment is formulated. Using ordinary di_erential equations, the two trans- mission ... -
Selective Interactions of O-Methylated Flavonoid Natural Products with Human Monoamine Oxidase-A and –B
(Molecules, 2020-11-17)A set of structurally related O-methylated flavonoid natural products isolated from Senecio roseiflorus (1), Polygonum senegalense (2 and 3), Bhaphia macrocalyx (4), Gardenia ternifolia (5), and Psiadia punctulata (6) plant ... -
Evaluating flood extent mapping of two hydraulic models, 1D HEC-RAS and 2D LISFLOOD-FP in comparison with aerial imagery observations in Gorgan flood plain, Iran
(Natural Resource Modeling, 2019-02-20)We compared flood mapping techniques using a one-dimensional (1D) hydraulic model HEC-RAS and two-dimensional (2D) LISFLOOD-FP for a 10-km reach of Gorgan River in Iran. Both models were run using the same hydrologic input ... -
Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Selected Kenyan Maize (Zea mays L.) Genotypes by Introgression of Nicotiana Protein Kinase (npk1) to Enhance Drought Tolerance
(American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2014-03)Currently maize production in the East and Central Africa (ECA) region is at 1.3 tonnes per hectare compared to the potential of up to 7.0 tonnes per hectare because of biotic and abiotic constraints, and this has resulted ... -
Signal Transduction One of the Current Molecular Approaches in the Management of Drought Stress in the Sub-Saharan Region
(Biotechnology, 2010-11)Drought affects maize production in Africa leading to up to 70% crop loss and in certain cases total crop loss. Several breeding interventions have been attempted with little success. Thus alternative complementation ... -
In vitro Regeneration by Indirect Organogenesis of Selected Kenyan Maize Genotypes using Shoot Apices
(Biotechnology, 2008-09)The study reports a reliable and reproducible regeneration system of two open pollinated varieties-OPV`s (Katumani KAT and dry land cultivar DLC1), a hybrid (DH01) and an inbred line (TL08) using shoot apices as explants ... -
Allellopathic potential of invasive Psidium guajava L., against selected native tree species in Kakamega Tropical Forest, Western Kenya.
(IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences, 2016-05)Studies have previously attributed P. guajava invasiveness to its aggressive regeneration and profuse seeding. This study, however verified that its allellopathic influence on native plant species also plays an important ... -
