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 ... -
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 of Electronic Health in Developing Countries
(2014-04)Limitations of paper-based records are influencing a transition across the globe towards Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and in general electronic health (eHealth). However, despite the well documented benefits of eHealth, ... -
An Assessment framework for Internet banking system reliability
(2014-09)E-banking technology is very widespread in banking sector while in Kenya; banks are striving to achieve social and economic development. Banks are investing in Internet for better financial services to their customers ... -
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 ... -
Cycle Index Formulas for D n Acting on Unordered Pairs
(Uoem, 2015)The cycle index of dihedral group D n acting on the set of X the vertices of a regular n- gon was studied (See [1]). In this paper we study the cycle index formulas of D n acting on unordered pairs from the set . In each ... -
Localization of Overlaid Text Based on Noise Inconsistencies
(2015-04)In this paper, we present a novel technique for localization of caption text in video frames based on noise inconsistencies. Text is artificially added to the video after it has been captured and as such does not form part ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Estimated numerical results for the deterministic model of the under five years pneumonia in Kenya
(2016)In this paper the numerical results are estimated for childhood pneumonia deterministic model, using Kenyan data. The estimates of data and parameters from Kenya Health information system, ministry of Health of Kenya and ...
