The role of ICT in social inclusion: a review of literature
(International Journal of Science and Research, 2013)
The questions we seek to answer in this paper are; Have ICT contributed to enhance social inclusion? Has use of ICT
brought new forms of exclusion? And what is the way forward in using ICT for an inclusive society? Desk ...

(The Journal of Pan African Studies, 2013-09-04)
This study investigated comparative differences in performance among boys and girls in Kiswahili creative writing in selected secondary schools in Kenya. The study was carried out in Nyamira County in Kenya located at a ...
Social attackability metrics for software systems
(International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Research, 2013)
Software based system have become ubiquitous in modern day activities. Software system based system are being increasing attacked, leading to the need for software system administrators, and managers to have some metrics ...
Virtual reality in education: trends and issues
(International Journal of Computers & Technology, 2013)
Computer-mediated learning is becoming an increasingly common form of education in institutions of higher learning (IHL). Many IHL in developing nations, such as Kenya, have greatly experienced an increase in demand for ...
A Novel Statistical Model for Poverty Estimation
(LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2013-02-26)
In this study, individual consumption as a function of income generated by a cow under one-cow-one family program is modelled. The model was applied on sample data collected from Nyaruguru District in Rwanda. The poverty ...
Improving potato tuber yields using genotypes with multiple virus resistance in Kenya
(2013)
Potato (Solanumtuberosum L.) viruses play a major role in lowering yields and quality of ware
and seed tubers in Kenya. This experiment was conducted to determine potential of potato clones

Advances in composite integer factorization
(International Knowledge Sharing Platiform, 2013-01-01)
In this research we propose a new method of integer factorization. Prime numbers are the building blocks of arithmetic. At the moment there are no efficient methods (algorithms) known that will determine whether a given ...
Generalized estimation of missing observations in nonlinear time series model using state space representation
(Science Publishing Group, 2013-01-01)
The aim of the study was to formulate a Time Series Model to be used in obtaining optimal estimates of missing observations. State space models and Kalman filter were used to handle irregularly spaced data. A non-Bayesian ...

Botanical composition of University of Nairobi’s Machang’a Field Station, Mbeere, in the Semi-arid Central-Eastern
rangelands of Kenya was inventoried by reconnaissance survey. Relative abundance of the various plant ...
Algebraic approach to composite integer factorization
(European Centre for Research, Training and Development : IJMSS, 2013-03-01)
There various algorithms that can factor large integers but very few of these algorithms run in polynomial time. This fact makes them inefficient. The apparent difficulty of factoring large integers is the basis of some ...
