Shifting the Canon: An Analysis of Achebe’s Women in Things Fall Apart and Anthills of the Savannah
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2018-07-06)This paper analyses the image of women in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and Anthills of the Savannah to bring into focus on the shifting of the canon through Achebe’s depiction of female characters in the two novels. ... -
Short communication: Efficacy of two commercial disinfectants on Paenibacillus larvae spores
(2021-03)Paenibacillus larvae is a spore-forming bacterium causing American foulbrood (AFB) in honey bee larvae. The remains of a diseased larva contains billions of extremely resilient P. larvae spores viable for decades. Burning ... -
Short Communication: Efficacy of Two Commercial Disinfectants on Paenibacillus larvae Spores
(Frontiers, 2022-05)Paenibacillus larvae is a spore-forming bacterium causing American foulbrood (AFB) in honey bee larvae. The remains of a diseased larva contains billions of extremely resilient P. larvae spores viable for decades. Burning ... -
Short-Run and Long-Run Co-Movements in the Income-Consumption Relationship
(Scientific Research, 2018-04)The study uses the cointegration and common cycle analysis to test whether there are short-run and long-run co-movement relationships between incomes and varies consumption expenditure variables. The analysis aims ... -
Sigma-Point Filters in Robotic Applications
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-08)Sigma-Point Kalman Filters (SPKFs) are popular estimation techniques for high nonlinear system applications. The benefits of using SPKFs include (but not limited to) the following: the easiness of linearizing the nonlinear ... -
A silkworm hemolymph protein is a prophenoloxidase activation blocker
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)Melanization in insect hemolymph is triggered by the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns via pattern recognition receptors. The signal transduction leads to the activation of the prophenoloxidase and hence ... -
A simple and efficient seed-based approach to induce callus production from B73 maize genotype
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-10)The wild type maize genotype, B73, is not amenable for callus production and an efficient protocol for B73 maize callus induction has never been reported up-to-date. Scientific efforts in producing B73 maize callus using ... -
A Simple model for the ethnic, sub ethnic, clan and religion based politics in Kenya presidential elections
(2016)A simple deterministic model with Kenya specific attributes was developed to describe the ethnic based voting blocs. Four compartmental classes: Agikuyu (A), Luo (L), Kalenjin (K) and the Rest (R) were formulated, and first ... -
A Simplified Nonlinear Generalized Maxwell Model for Predicting the Time Dependent Behavior of Viscoelastic Materials
(2011-06)In this paper, a simple nonlinear Maxwell model consisting of a nonlinear spring connected in series with a nonlinear dashpot obeying a power-law with constant material parameters, for representing successfully ... -
Simplified Step-by-Step Nonlinear Static Program Investigating Equilibrium Conditions of Electrons in Atom and Ionization Energies: Case Study on Argon
(Scientific Research, 2018-05)For investigation of equilibrium conditions of electrons in an atom, and Ionization Energies of Elements, a simplified deterministic static model is proposed. The electrons are initially uniformly and sparsely arranged ... -
Simplifying differential equations concerning degenerate Bernoulli and Euler numbers
(Elsevier, 2018-04)In the paper, the authors significantly and meaningfully simplify two families of nonlinear ordinary differential equations in terms of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds. -
Simulation of a Deterministic Model of HIV Transmission between Two Closed Patches
(2020-09)Numerical simulation of a deterministic model of HIV transmission between major cities in Kenya is carried out. The model considered two closed patches connected by the commuter movements of truck drivers being the ... -
Simulation of a Deterministic Model of HIV Transmission between Two Closed Patches
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020-09-08)Numerical simulation of a deterministic model of HIV transmission between major cities in Kenya is carried out. The model considered two closed patches connected by the commuter movements of truck drivers being the agents ... -
Simulation of Average Turbulent Pipe Flow: A Three-Equation Model
(Scientific Research, 2014-03)The aim of this study is to evaluate a three-equation turbulence model applied to pipe flow. Uncertainty is approximated by comparing with published direct numerical simulation results for fully-developed average pipe flow. ... -
