Rank and Subdegrees of PGL(2; q) Acting Cosets of PGL(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 PGL(2; e) when q is an odd prime power of e. In this paper, we ... -
Ranks and Subdegrees of External Direct Product of Cn Dr Acting on X Y
(UoEm, 2020)In this paper, transitivity, ranks and subdegrees of the action of ex- ternal direct product of Cyclic and Dihedral group on Cartesian Product of two sets are determined. The action is proved to be transitive. Also, it's ... -
Ranks, Subdegrees and Suborbital graphs of the product action of Affine Groups
(UoEm, 2020)The action of affine groups on Galois field has been studied. For instance, [3] studied the action of 𝐴𝑓𝑓 (𝑞 ) on Galois field 𝐺𝐹 (𝑞) for 𝑞 a power of prime 𝑝. In this paper, the rank and subdegree of the direct ... -
Segmentation and Alignment of Multi-oriented and Curved Text Lines from Document Images
(2015-06)In this paper, we present a novel approach to segment and align multi-oriented and curved text-lines from document images. We assumed that the input document image contains text-lines with arbitrary orientation and ... -

(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. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Socio-Demographic Factors And Knowledge Influencing Associated With ORS Use For Diarrhoea In Children At Miathene Sublocation, Meru County, Kenya
(2020-05)Oral rehydration solution is the gold standard treatment option in childhood diarrhoea though there are other practices like use of rice water, water sugar mixtures, continuous breast feeding for under six months ... -
Socio-Economic Determinants of Low Birth Weight in Kenya: An Application of Logistic Regression Model
(Science Publishing Group, 2015-11)Babies born with Low-birth weight are at increased risk for serious health problems which are accompanied by disabilities and even death. The purpose of this study was to determine socio-economic factors that lead to low ... -

Spatial Modelling and Mapping of Socio-Demographic Determinants of Infant Mortality in Kenya
(2016-03)This paper addresses the problem of monitoring the infant and child mortality from point referenced data. Indicators of the determinants of child survival based on Mosley and Chen framework are derived and used to model ... -
TELECOMMUTING MODEL FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SMES) IN KENYA
(2016-07)The aim of this study was to use adaptive structuration theory as a tool to come up with Telecommuting model that can be adopted by SMEs in Kenya. A survey was done to understand the extent of telecommuting and the ... -
A Theoretical Model of Corruption Using Modified Lotka Volterra Model A Perspective of Interactions between Staff and Students
(2020-09)Corruption is the misuse of power or resources for private gain. This undermines economic development, political stability, and government legitimacy, the society fabric, allocation of resources to sectors crucial for ... -
Tuberculosis model, a case study of tigania west, Kenya
(2016)Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. Many mathematical models for TB have been developed but not specifically for Kenya. This study develops a deterministic model based on ... -
A uniform circular array of isotropic sensors that stochastically dislocate in three dimensions—The hybrid Cramer-Rao bound of direction-of-arrival estimation
(Acoustical Society of America, 2019-07)An array’s constituent sensors could be spatially dislocated from their nominal positions. This paper investigates how such sensor dislocation would degrade a uniform circular array (UCA) of isotropic sensors (like ... -
