(μ-Formato-κ2O: O′) bis [dicarbonyl (η5-cyclopentadienyl) iron (II)] tetrafluoridoborate
(International Union of Crystallography, 2011)In the structure of the title compound [Fe(2)(C(5)H(5))(2)(CHO(2))(CO)(4)]BF(4), each Fe(II) atom is coordinated in a pseudo-octa-hedral three-legged piano-stool fashion. The cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand occupies three fac ... -
OP25. 10: Fetal biometrics, umbilical and uterine artery Doppler studies among malaria infected and not infected pregnant women
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2011)Placental malaria contributes to maternal morbidity and low birth weight in malaria endemic countries. Intermittent anti‐malarial prophylaxis given twice during pregnancy has been shown to decrease the prevalence of low ... -

DYNAMICS OF MARKETING SUPPORT SERVICES AND PERFORMANCE OF HANDICRAFT EXPORTING MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES IN TANZANIA
(International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Management, 2018)This study examines the contribution of marketing support services on the performance of exporting handcraft Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in Tanzania. The Marketing Mix Theory and Positivism Approach are the key ... -
ROBUST ESTIMATION OF VARIANCE IN THE PRESENCE OF NEAREST NEIGHBOUR IMPUTATION
(African Journal of Science and Technology, 2003)The problem of estimating the variance of an estimator of the population total when missing values have been filled using a Nearest Neighbour (NN) imputation method is considered. The estimator is developed assuming a more ... -
Variance Estimation in Stratified Random Sampling in the Presence of Two Auxiliary Random Variables
(International Journal of Science and Research, 2014)The objective of this paper is to develop an improved population variance estimators in the presence of two auxiliary variables in stratified random sampling adapting the family of estimators proposed by Koyunchu and ... -
Nonparametric mixed ratio estimator for a finite population total in stratified sampling
(Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2010)We propose a nonparametric regression approach to the estimation of a finite population total in model based frameworks in the case of stratified sampling. Similar work has been done, by Nadaraya and Watson (1964), Hansen ... -
GENERALISED MODEL BASED CONFIDENCE INTERVALS IN TWO STAGE CLUSTER SAMPLING
(Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2010)Chambers and Dorfman (2002) constructed bootstrap confidence intervals in model based estimation for finite population totals assuming that auxiliary values are available throughout a target population and that the auxiliary ... -
Bias Reduction Technique for Estimating Finite Population Distribution Function under Simple Random Sampling without Replacement.
(International Journal of Statistics and Applications, 2018)The problem of nonparametric estimation of finite population distribution function using multiplicative bias correction technique is considered in this paper. A robust estimator of the finite population distribution function ... -

Functional promoter haplotypes of interleukin-18 condition susceptibility to severe malarial anemia and childhood mortality
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011)Severe malarial anemia (SMA) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children residing in regions where Plasmodium falciparum transmission is holoendemic. Although largely unexplored in children with SMA, ... -
Socio-economic and geographic differences in acceptability of community-based health insurance
(Elsevier, 2011)This study investigated the level of acceptability of community-based health insurance (CBHI) among different population groups. The main focus of CBHI is capturing the majority of the population that depend on ... -
Impact of insecticide-treated bed nets on malaria transmission indices on the south coast of Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2011)Besides significantly reducing malaria vector densities, prolonged usage of bed nets has been linked to decline of Anopheles gambiaes.s. relative to Anopheles arabiensis, changes in host feeding preference of malaria ... -
