Evaluation of prokaryotic diversity of five hot springs in Eritrea
(BioMed Central, 2017-09)
Background: Total community rDNA was used to determine the diversity of bacteria and archaea from water, wet
sediment and microbial mats samples of hot springs in the Eastern lowlands of Eritrea. The temperatures of ...

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 ...
A model for childhood Pneumonia Dynamics
(Asian online journals, 2014)
This paper presents a deterministic model for pneumonia transmission and uses the model to assess the potential impact of therapy. The model is based on the Susceptible-Infected-Treatment-Susceptible compartmental structure ...

An L-shaped Array with Non-Orthogonal Axes – Its Cramer-Rao Bound for Direction Finding
(IEEE, 2017-08)
If a nominally L-shaped sensor-array's two legs are not exactly perpendicular, its azimuth-polar direction-of-arrival estimation would be degraded. This paper quantifies this degradation via a deterministic Cramér-Rao ...

by photography, a dual-depth ...
On Analytical Approach to Semi-Open/Semi-Closed Sets
(2017-03)
The concept of open and closed sets has been extensively discussed on both metric and topological spaces. Various
properties of these sets have been proved under the underlying spaces. However, scanty literature is available ...
