In this study Pragmatism and mixed research approach were embraced to examine political environment, legal frameworks and performance of biosocial projects while descriptive and correlational research designs were adopted. Self dispensed questionnaires were administered to gather quantitative data while interview guides were used to collect qualitative data after the pilot testing of research instruments to test validity through content related method and reliability through test-retest criterion. A sample size of 183 individuals from 61 biosocial projects were selected from a target sample of 70 biosocial projects in Nairobi County through Gakuu, Kidombo and Keiyoro, 2016 sampling formula (s= (z/e)2).

The statistical tools of analysis that were used were arithmetic mean and the standard deviation for descriptive data whereas Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (r) in addition to Stepwise Regression (R2) were used as inferential statistics tools of analysis, hypothesis was tested by use of F-tests. To avoid invalidation of statistical analysis, tests of statistical assumptions were carried out before data analysis. From the data analysis the null hypothesis that stated the relationship between legal frameworks and performance of biosocial projects in informal settlements in Nairobi County is not moderated by political environment was accepted with F = 15.207, p =0.000<0.05, r = 0.382, Adjusted R2 = 0.136 in step one against step two where F = 6.263, p =0.000<0.05, r = 0.390, Adjusted R2 = 0.128 and concluded that Adjusted R2 decreased from 0.136 to 0.128 and F statistics reduced from 15.207 to 6.263 the effect of relationship of legal frameworks on performance of biosocial projects.

This paper recounts ongoing attempts to develop a system of performance measures (PM's) for the Air Refueling Part-Task Trainers which will be used by the Military Airlift Command (MAC) for currency training of C-5/C-141 aircrews. The database at present includes over 30,000 observations on a total of 22 student pilots and 3 instructor pilots. Subjects were observed during their participation in the ARPTT course at Boeing-Kent, Washington. Representative multivariate analyses were conducted on subsamples of the data with movement of the simulated receiver aircraft along the roll, pitch and yaw axes and relative movement forward-aft, azimuth and vertical comprising the independent variables, and time spent in the refueling envelope the dependent. The most important predictor was movement about the fore-aft axis relative to the tanker. No others were significant. The implications of these and related findings as to aircrew training and PM development are discussed.
