Mechanical Performance and Moisture Sensitivity of Sand–Clay Composite Stabilized with Gum Arabic as Partial Cement Replacement for Pavement Foundations

Road construction requires foundation materials with high mechanical performance. Cement is the primary binder used to stabilize these materials, but its widespread use generates substantial CO2 emissions and environmental impacts. Reducing cement demand has therefore stimulated...

The Evolutionary Frameworks Project - 7 Additional Framework Models

The Evolutionary Frameworks Project – 7 Additional Framework Models documents the second major expansion of the Evolutionary Frameworks Project, an interdisciplinary scientific research programme developed by Kaya Genc, Silas Njiru John, and Dr James Barkell. Following publicatio...

Effect of the formal milk market participation on the gross margin of dairy producers in Nyandarua County

Dairy production is a critical value chain for Kenya's rural employment and household income. However, the sector experiences low production and informal marketing. As a result, the government has established several interventions to support farmers in rural areas, including enco...

Draft genome sequence of Bacillus paranthracis S23, isolated from saline soil of Lake Bogoria, Kenya

S23 was isolated from saline soil of Lake Bogoria. Its draft genome, generated using Illumina HiSeq sequencing, comprises 5,583,771 bp across 205 contigs and contains 5,741 predicted protein-coding genes. Genome mining identified biosynthetic gene clusters associated with the pro...

A drift adaptive framework for detecting and tracking evolving anomalies in financial transaction streams

Abstract Financial fraud detection is increasingly challenged by concept drift, evolving transaction behaviour, and adversarial adaptation, which can degrade conventional anomaly-detection methods under distributional change. Although unsupervised anomaly detection is widely used...

Censoring balancing functions for weighted log-rank tests

Censoring is a common feature of survival data. Weighted log-rank tests are widely used to compare survival curves representing different treatments under study, but their performance is often negatively affected by censoring. In this work, censoring balancing functions (CBFs) ar...

The First Whole-Genome Characterization of a Kenyan DS-1-like G3P[8] Rotavirus Strain: Evidence for an Intragenogroup Reassortment Event in Africa

Unusual DS-1-like G3P[8] rotavirus strains have emerged and spread rapidly across several countries. In Africa, however, reports of these strains and available whole-genome data remain limited, and their evolutionary relationships across the continent are not yet fully understood...

The Evolutionary Frameworks Project - The 15 Frameworks

This document provides the first complete, canonical assignment of all fifteen theoretical frameworks within the Evolutionary Frameworks Project. It maps each framework into one of the five thematic clusters defined in the Master Outline (Version 1.0), establishing the structural...
