BACKGROUND Antiretroviral therapy (ART) requires high-level (> 95%) adherence. Kenya is rolling out ART access programmes and, issue of adherence to therapy is therefore imperative. However, published data on adherence to ART in Kenya is limited. This study assessed adherence to ART and identified factors responsible for non adherence in Nairobi. METHODS This is a multiple facility-based cros...

000 live births occurred in the 12-month period ending with October 1997, a 1-percent decline from the 3,890,000 births reported for the same period a year earlier. The birth rate of 14.4 was 2 percent lower than the rate of 14.7 for the preceding 12-month period. The fertility rate for the most recent 12-month period was 64.5, 1 percent lower than the rate for the 12 months ending with October...

String tension fundamentally determines the properties of strings; yet its value is often assigned arbitrarily, creating a fine-tuning problem. We describe mechanism for dynamically generating string in flat or almost spacetime, using ‘modified measures formalism’, which turn naturally generates new type stringy braneworld scenario. Such scenario allows strings to achieve near infinite confinin...

ThirtyFrieswal lactating cows were screened for clinical and subclinical mastitis and subsequently classified into healthy, subclinically affected and clinically affected groups each group comprising of 10 cows. Polymorphism of cow lactoferrin (LTF) gene promoter was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results showed that LFT gene pro...

"This paper deals with the estimation of single equation models in which the counts are regressed on a set of observed individual characteristics such as age, gender, or nationality.... We propose a generalized event count model to simultaneously allow for a wide class of count data models and account for over- and underdispersion. This model is successfully applied to German data on fertility...
