Modelling and Simulation of Competition for Students’ Population with Holling Type II Response
(UoEm, 2023)Te increase in the country’s population attracted the establishment of more schools, both public and private schools, to cater for the increasing number of students. However, there have been dynamics of students’ population ... -
Transitivity Action of An on (n=4,5,6,7) on Unordered and Ordered Quadrupples
(UoEm, 2015)In this paper, we study some transitivity action properties of the alternating group An(n=4,5,6,7 ,) acting on unordered and ordered pairs from the set X = {1,2,...,n} through determination of the number of disjoint equivalence ... -
Rank and Subdegrees of P GL(2, q) Acting Cosets of P GL(2, e) for q an Even Power of e
(UoEm, 2019)The action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal subgroups has been studied. For instance, [9] studied the action of G on the cosets of P GL(2, e) when q is an odd prime power of e. In this paper, we ... -
Predicting the Number of Tourists in-Flow to Kenya Using Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model
(UoEm, 2022-12)Tourism is the leading source of revenue to the Kenyan Government, contributing about 8.8% to the Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product. Based on the 2019 report released by the ministry of tourism and wildlife, tourism industry ... -
On the Number of Cyclotomic Cosets and Cyclic Codes over Z13
(UoEm, 2018-06)Let Zq be a finite field with q element and x n − 1 be a given cyclotomic polynomial. The number of cyclotomic cosets and cyclic codes has not been done in general. Although for different values of q the polynomial x n ... -
Enumeration of cyclic codes over GF(17)
(UoEm, 2015-05)In this paper we seek the number of irreducible polynomials of xn− 1 over GF(17). We factorize Xn− 1 over GF(17)into irreducible polynomials using cyclotomic cosets of 17 modulo n . The number of irreducible polynomials ... -
Cycle Index Formulas for Dn Acting on Ordered pairs
(UoEm, 2016-04)The cycle index of dihedral group Dn acting on the set of the vertices of a regular n-gon was studied by Harary and Palmer in 1973 [1]. Since then a number of researchers have studied the cycle indices dihedral group ... -
Cycle Index Formulas for Dn Acting on Unordered Pairs
(UoEm, 2015)The cycle index of dihedral group Dn acting on the set X of the vertices of a regular -gon was studied (See [1]). In this paper we study the cycle index formulas of Dn acting on unordered pairs from the set x . In ... -
Action ofPGL (2 ,q ) on the Cosets of the Centralizer of an Eliptic Element
(UoEm, 2021)Most researchers consider the action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal subgroups leaving out non-maximal subgroupsCq+1. In this paper, we consider the action ofPGL (2, ) centralizer of an elliptic ... -
Application of Marks to Computation of Ranks and Subdegrees of the Symmetric Group Acting on Ordered 4-Element and 5- Element Subsets
(UoEm, 2015)Ranks and subdegrees can be computed using combinatorial arguments, the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma and use of the concept of marks. However the concept of Marks has been given very little attention. In this paper we will apply ... -
Application of Marks to Computation of Ranks and Subdegrees of the Symmetric Group Acting on Ordered Pairs and on Ordered Triples
(UoEm, 2014)Ranks and subdegrees can be computed using combinatorial arguments, the Cauchy-Frobenius lemma and use of the concept of marks. However the concept of Marks has been given very little attention. In this paper we will apply ... -

Determinants for rainwater harvesting adoption: a case study of smallholder farmers in Murang’a County, Kenya
(UoEm, 2024-05-17)Rainwater harvesting has been practiced among smallholder farmers for centuries in many parts of the world. Recently, it has gained more attention due to the reported increasing water demand and the need for sustainable ... -
Environmental Justice and Alternative Dispute Resolution
(UoEm, 2024)Trust the Process — a mantra that has not only guided but also illuminated our path from the spark of an idea to the full bloom of realization. Engraved within these pages, whether held in hand or displayed on screen, lies ... -
Shifting focus from external to in situ organic resources The redesign of four tropical long-term experiments
(UoEM, 2024-07)Long-term experiments (LTEs) are critical for evaluating strategies that can maintain or increase crop yields, soil fertility and soil organic carbon (SOC), and help adapt to climate change. Yet, scientific knowledge is ... -
Nutritional status of people who inject drugs in Coastal Kenya: a cross-sectional study
(UoeM, 2024)Introduction Despite documentation on injection drug use (IDU) in Kenya, the nutritional status of people who inject drugs (PWIDs) is under-explored. Elsewhere studies report under-nutrition among PWIDs which is attributed to ... -

Do combined sustainable agricultural intensification practices improve smallholder farmers welfare? Evidence from eastern and western Kenya
(UoEm, 2024-02-21)Smallholder farmers often bundle different sustainable agricultural intensification (SAI) practices to boost crop yield and address soil fertility challenges. However, there is a dearth of empirical studies that investigate ... -
