Numerical simulation of the deterministic model of the under-five year’s pneumonia in Kenya
(2016)
In this paper the numerical simulation of the childhood pneumonia deterministic model are determined. The estimated parameters and the under-five year’s population data for year 2013 was used to simulate the developed ...
Modeling Scramble for other tribes votes by the three main tribal voting blocs in Kenya Presidential elections
(2016)
A deterministic model was formulated to describe the tribal based voting blocs in Kenya presidential politics using four compartmental classes: Kikuyu (K), Luo (L), AKalenjin (A) and other tribes (T). The first order ...
Analytical model for childhood pneumonia, a case study of Kenya
(Science Domain International, 2016)
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. For a long
time to the best of our knowledge there have not been reliable mathematical model for childhood
pneumonia in ...
Modeling Influence Tribal Coalitions in Kenya Presidential Politics: A Case Study of Kikuyu-Kalenjin versus Luo-Kamba
(Science Domain International, 2016-04)
A deterministic model was developed to describe the two dominant tribal coalition based voting bloc
(A and B) and other tribes (C). The first order nonlinear ordinary differential equations were deduced
using predator-prey ...
Performance Evaluation of Proximal Sensors for Soil Assessment in Smallholder Farms in Embu County, Kenya
(MDPI, 2016-08)
Four proximal soil sensors were tested at four smallholder farms in Embu County, Kenya:
a portable X-ray fluorescence sensor (PXRF), a mobile phone application for soil color determination
by photography, a dual-depth ...
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 ...
Genetic Improvement of African Maize towards Drought Tolerance: A Review
(IISTE, 2016)
Africa supports a population of over 1 billion people with over half of them depending on maize for food and
feed either directly or indirectly. Maize in Africa is affected by many stresses, both biotic and abiotic ...
Extraction of Scene Text Information from Video
(Modern Education and Computer Science, 2016)
In this paper, we present an approach for scene text extraction from natural scene video frames. We assumed that the planar surface contains text information in the natural scene, based on this assumption, we detect planar ...
Effect of Ga3+ and Gd3+ ions substitution on the structural and optical properties of Ce3+-doped yttrium aluminium garnet phosphor nanopowders
(John Wiley & Sons, 2016-03)
ABSTRACT: The structural and optical properties of commercially obtained Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphor were investigated by replacing
Al3+ with Ga3+ and Y3+ with Gd3+ in the Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ structure to form Y3(Al,Ga)5O12:Ce3+ and ...
The Aesthetic Function of the style of Masking as used In V.S. Naipaul’s Collection of Sketches, Miguel Street
(2016-06)
The study is based on the assumption that literary style is paramount to literary communication and the meaning we derive out of a work of literature. Literary meaning cannot therefore be divorced from literary style. The ...
