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 ... -
Modeling Kenya Domestic Radicalization like A Disease Incorporating Rehabilitation Centers
(Academic Research Publishing Group, 2016)The study presents a deterministic model for radicalization process in Kenya and use the model to assess impact of rehabilitation centers to radicalization burden. The possibility of other drivers of radicalization to ... -
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 ... -
Modeling the Effect of HIV/AIDS Stigma on HIV Infection Dynamics in Kenya
(springer, 2021-03-15)Stigma toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has impeded the response to the disease across the world. Widespread stigma leads to poor adherence of preventative measures while also causing PLWHA to avoid testing and ... -
Modeling the effects of insecticides resistance on malaria vector control in endemic regions of Kenya
(Elsevier Ltd., 2018-12)We present a model to investigate the effects of vector resistance to control strategies. The model captures the development of resistance as well as loss of resistance in mosquitoes and how these affect the progress in ... -
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 ... -
Modelling Vaccination and Treatment of Childhood Pneumonia and Their Implications
(Science Domain International, 2018-07)This paper presents a deterministic model for pneumonia transmission and uses the model to assess the potential impact of the vaccination, treatment and efficacy of vaccination drugs in lowering the public health impact ... -
Moderating Effect of Government Policies on the Relationship between Mobile Technology Services and Performance of Deposit-Taking Saccos in Kenya
(IJSET, 2017-02)The study sought to determine the moderating effect of government policies on the relationship between mobile technology services and performance of Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) in ... -
Moderating Effect of Government Policies on the Relationship between Mobile Technology Services and Performance of Deposit-Taking Saccos in Kenya.
(2017-02)The study sought to determine the moderating effect of government policies on the relationship between mobile technology services and performance of Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) in ... -
Multinomial Logistic Modelling of Socio-Economic Factors Influencing Spending Behavior of University Students
(2019-06)This study aims at determining the use of Multinomial Logistic Regression (MLR) model which is one of the important methods for categorical data analysis. This model particularly deals with one nominal or ordinal response ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The optimum settings of culture conditions for optimum growth of kefir grains for nutrition and health using RSM with BBD
(2016)This thesis provides the process used to optimize the growth of kefir grains for nutrition and health to yield the optimal size of the kefir grain. This combined process was successfully modeled and optimized by response ... -
Parameterization and Forecasting of Childhood Pneumonia Model Using Least Square Approximation, Lagrange Polynomial and Monte Carlo Simulation
(2020-09)espite a study by [1] proposing a simple model of under five years pneumonia, doubt lingers regarding its reliability, sufficiency and validity. The research question is whether the model is valid for use or not? The ... -
