The necessity for up-scaling resource mobilization for implementation of Competency-based Curriculum at basics Education level
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2022-06)School resources comprise of necessary materials both financial and human. A growth towards evidence-based allocation and utilization of school resources is affected by inadequate capacity of the school managers, ministry ... -
Need for policy reforms in varsity funding model
(Nation Media Group, 2023-07-25)The new funding model marks a significant step towards educational equality, fostering pool fair resource allocation and emphasizing students’ unique needs -
New CBK rate ripple effects to hand households a forgettable Christmas
(Business Daily, 2023-12-22)The recent hike of base lending rate by the Central Bank of Kenya through the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) from 10.5 percent to 12.50 percent will have far-reaching implications, especially for everyday Kenyan citizens, ... -
New Records of Lichen-forming Fungi from Kenya

A new species of Melanochaeta from Kenya
(Verlag Ferdinand Berger & Söhne Ges.m.b.H., 2008)Melanochaeta taitensis is described as a new species from Kenya. It is distinguished from the other known species of Melanochaeta by having large, 3-septate, strongly curved ascospores. Phylogenetic analyses of nuclear 28S ... -
New varsity model will push students to cheaper courses
(Business Daily, 2023-08-25)While I agree that we need to change to the new university funding model, we must be prepared to deal with some of the new realities coming up with its implementation. I recently noticed something strange when students ... -
Nitrogen fixation by common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in pure and mixed stands in semi-arid south-east Kenya
(Elsevier, 2001)Research was carried out in the field on the effect of intercropping common bean and maize crops in a semi-arid zone of south-east Kenya over two rainy seasons in 1997. The experimental design was a randomised complete ... -
Nodulation and nitrogen fixation in promiscuous and non promiscuous soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) varieties in Eastern Kenya
(Kenya Society of Microbiology, 2010)Soil nitrogen deficiency is a major factor limiting soybean production. This problem can be alleviated by the use of nitrogen fertilizers which on the other hand adversely affect the environment, are expensive and ... -
Nomadic Girls' Education Paperback
(LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2014)The right to education is clearly articulated in core international and national instruments. The vital role played by education in the socio-economic development of every country is universally recognized. There is a close ... -
Non-Parametric Estimator for a Finite Population total under Stratified Sampling incorporating a Hybrid of Data Reflection and Transformation Techniques
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)Statisticians use survey sampling methods in the estimation of population parameters of interest. This field has received increased demand due to the reliable statistic they produce. Information is extracted from the samples ... -
Non-response weighting adjustment approach in survey sampling
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2006)Non-response problem is an issue of great concern to all the researchers because it pervades almost all survey research. This ultimately creates potential for bias. The higher the non-response rate the greater the bias if ... -
Nonparametric estimation of distribution function for stratified populations
(International Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2018)Nonparametric estimation of population parameters for finite populations has been used with great success for data that fit the independent and identically distributed framework. However, most of these approaches do not ... -
Nonparametric mixed ratio estimator for a finite population total in stratified sampling
(Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2010)We propose a nonparametric regression approach to the estimation of a finite population total in model based frameworks in the case of stratified sampling. Similar work has been done, by Nadaraya and Watson (1964), Hansen ... -
Nonparametric model assisted model calibrated estimation in two stage survey sampling

Numerical analysis of a confined convection-diffusion turbulent flow using finite volume discretization technique coupled with three linear interpolation schemes
(Meru University, 2022)In fluid dynamics, flow behavior is analyzed using experimental, analytical or numerical methods. Though experiments give physically realistic results, they are expensive in terms of time and cost, and are less flexible. ... -
A numerical investigation of the effect of curvature and Reynolds number to radial velocity in a curved porous pipe
(International Journal of Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 2017)Different irrigation methods are being used in agriculture. However, due to scarcity of water, irrigation methods that use water efficiently are needed. The motivation of this study is the increasing use of porous pipes ... -

A numerical investigation of the simple, simpler and simplec algorithms for flow driven by buoyancy in a differentially heated cavity
(Meru University, 2022)Numerical analysis of fluid flow is anchored on the laws of conservation. A challenge in solving the momentum equation arises due to the unavailability of an explicit pressure equation. To circumvent this problem most ...
