Accessibility of washrooms in bus terminals in Western Kenya to learners with physical disability
(Journal of Accessibility and Design for All, 2017)Learners with physical disability in the western part of Kenya frequently make use of bus terminals during in the trip to and from school. Special schools attended by learners with a physical disability are few in number ... -
Accessibility of water services in Kisumu municipality, Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2010)One of the key challenges to the developing countries is increasing access to safe water supply to the rapidly growing urban population, consequently, billions of dollars have been invested in pursuit of the goal of ... -
Accessing public transportation policies for persons living with disabilities in Kenya
(International Journal of Social Sciences, 2019)Despite the fact that the constitution of 2010 has given priority to persons with disabilities with specific focus to bill of right, their right to movement is still curtailed in the public transportation sector system in ... -
Accuracy of an anaemia scoring chart applied on goats in sub-humid Kenya and its potential for control of Haemonchus contortus infections
(Elsevier, 2006)We tested the practical application of an anaemia scoring chart (the FAMACHA© chart) as a method for controlling Haemonchus contortus in goats kept under smallholder conditions in a sub-humid area of Central Kenya. The ... -
The accuracy of parameter estimates and coverage probability of population values in regression models upon different treatments of systematically missing data
(University of British Columbia, 1998)Several methods are available for the treatment of missing data. Most of the methods are based on the assumption that data are missing completely at random (MCAR). However, data sets that are MCAR are rare in psycho-educational ... -
The accuracy of urine dipsticks as a screening test for proteinuria in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
(Taylor & Francis, 2005-01-01)Proteinuria is used as a criterion in the classification system for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy including preeclampsia. The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of dipstick urinalysis in a single voided ... -
Accurate Ab-initio calculation of elastic constants of anisotropic binary alloys: A case of Fe–Al
(Solid State Communications, 2022)The final formed phases of alloys are functions of the chemical compositions of the mixture. The overall mechanical moduli of the alloy are also functions of the phases present. Most of the previous computed elastic constants ... -

Acoustical properties of compressed earth blocks: Effect of compaction pressure, water hyacinth ash and lime
(Elsevier, 2023)This study assessed the potential use of a mixture of lime and water hyacinth ash (WHA) as binders in fabrication of cylindrical compressed earth blocks (CEBs) with good acoustic absorption properties for building and ... -
Acoustics of Compressed Earth Blocks Bound Using Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Water Hyacinth Ash
(MDPI, 2023-07-15)Mechanical compaction is often used to densify building earth blocks by reducing the void between the particles. Compacted stabilised earth involves a binder, which holds the particles of the materials together. The ... -
Acoustics of fractal porous material and fractional calculus
(MDPI, 2021)In this paper, we present a fractal (self-similar) model of acoustic propagation in a porous material with a rigid structure. The fractal medium is modeled as a continuous medium of non-integer spatial dimension. The basic ... -
