Solvent Effects on the UV Absorption Spectrum of Carmofur
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-01)In this article, we reported that carmofur could be induced by some solvent to produce conformational alteration. Ultraviolet (UV) spectra were used to study the conformation alteration of carmofur. Upon the addition of ... -
Solving the independent set problem by sticker based DNA computers
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)In this paper, the sticker based DNA computing was used for solving the independent set problem. At first, solution space was constructed by using appropriate DNA memory complexes. We defined a new operation called “divide” ... -
Somaclonal variations of Soybeans (Glycine Max. L. Merr) stimulated by drought stress based on random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)In soybeans, drought stress causes 50% yield losses. Breeding for drought tolerance in soybeans has been widely developed using various methods, among which is polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) induction to simulate drought ... -
Some New Results on Prime Graphs
(Scientific Research, 2012-07)We investigate prime labeling for some graphs resulted by identifying any two vertices of some graphs. We also introduce the concept of strongly prime graph and prove that the graphs Cn, Pn, and K1,n are strongly prime ... -

(Academic Journals, 2013-12-05)Kenya’s Vision 2030 identifies agriculture as one of the key sectors to deliver sustainable economic growth and improved livelihoods for the poor in the rural areas. However, the sector continues to face several endemic ... -
“Soul Stealer: 1768 Chinese Sorcery Scare” in Social Crisis
(Scientific Research, 2015-01)The “Soul Stealer: Chinese Sorcery Scare 1768” written by Alden Kuhn is a successful example to research more profound problem areas by use of legal history. In the aura of prosperity and good governance by the determination ... -
Sovereign Marketing: A New Strategy of Marketing
(Scientific Research, 2017-08)The importance of “sovereign” consumerism is well established in business and marketing theory. It is a familiar business saying that the consumer is the king of the market or market king, which is truer in theory rather ... -
Spatial Analysis and Mapping of Infant Mortality in Kenya On The Basis Of Demographic and Health Survey Data
(University of Nairobi, 2010)This study set out to examine and map the spatial variation of infant mortality in Kenya. We used data from Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) database to explore spatial variation. Generalized linear mixed inodel(GLMM) ... -
Spatial Modelling and Mapping of Socio-Demographic Determinants of Infant Mortality in Kenya
(2016-03)This paper addresses the problem of monitoring the infant and child mortality from point referenced data. Indicators of the determinants of child survival based on Mosley and Chen framework are derived and used to model ... -
Spatial population dynamics of a specialist aphid parasitoid, Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae): evidence for philopatry and restricted dispersal
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, 2010-01)Within insect communities, the population ecology of organisms representing higher trophic levels, for example, hymenopterous parasitoids, may be influenced by the structure of their insect hosts. Using microsatellite ... -
