Gender disparity in education
(Oakland Books, 2004)
Quality education is a fundamental right enshrined in the 1948 universal declaration of human rights. It is estimated that about 18% eligible children have never been enrolled in schools; about 62% of these eligible children ...
Spaces of compact operators and their dual spaces
(Business mathematics and informatics, 2002)
Theω′-topology on the spaceL(X, Y) of bounded linear operators from the Banach spaceX into the Banach spaceY is discussed in [10]. Let ℒw' (X, Y) denote the space of allT∈L(X, Y) for which there exists a sequence of compact ...
Recommendations for dealing with waste contaminated with ebola virus: a hazard analysis of critical control points approach
(2016)
Objective To assess, within communities experiencing Ebola virus outbreaks, the risks associated with the disposal of human waste and
to generate recommendations for mitigating such risks.
Methods A team with expertise ...
Estimating spatial sediment delivery ratio on a large rural catchment
(2006-05-20)
Soil erosion and sediment yield from catchments are key limitations to achieving sustainable land use
and maintaining water quality in streams, lakes and other water bodies. Controlling sediment loading
requires the ...
Modelling soil erosion and sediment yield at a catchment scale: the case of Masinga catchment, Kenya
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-08-07)
Development of improved soil erosion and sediment yield prediction technology is required to provide catchment stakeholders with the tools they need to evaluate the impact of various management strategies on soil loss and ...
Perfect repetition codes of ideals of the polynomial ring 2 [ ] ( 1) n n F x mod x − for error control in computer applicatons
(2016)
The study of perfect codes has attracted a lot of interest among researchers in coding theory in view of
the fact that many authors have indicated that this type of codes is rare. These codes are considered the
best for ...
Unconditional ideals in Banach spaces
(Scientific advances, 2012-07-14)
Let wL ′ denote the assignment which associates with each pair of Banach
spaces X , Y, the vector space L ( ) X Y w , ′ and K(X, Y ) be the space of all
compact linear operators from X to Y. Let T L ( ) X Y w , ′ ∈ and ...
Classification of catchment risk areas using spatially distributed event-based soil erosion: a case of upper Njoro river catchment, Kenya
(WIT Press, 2008-12-19)
Human-induced soil erosion and drastic change in land use practices have adversely infl uenced the land degradation
and surface runoff response in upper Njoro River catchment. The drainage area is approximately 127 km2.
Due ...
Detection of trends in extreme streamflow due to climate variability in the lake Naivasha basin, Kenya
(2014-11-17)
Variability of streamflow has far-reaching impacts especially in developing countries. This is aggravated by climate change which has adversely affected the water resources and food security. This paper presents the ...
Analysis of drought effect on annual stream flows of river Malewa in the lake Naivasha basin, Kenya
(Radiance Research Academy, 2014-09-15)
The main parameters of drought phenomenon are the longest duration and largest severity for a desired return period. These
parameters form the basis for designing water storage structures to cope with drought effects. In ...
