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 effect of curvature and reynolds number to radial velocity in a curved porous pipe.
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2018)Different irrigation methods are being used in agriculture. However, due to scarcity of water, irrigation methods that use efficiently are needed. The motivation of this study is the increasing use of porous pipes to meet ... -
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 ... -
Nutritional Diversity of Leafy Amaranth Species grown in Kenya
(Elewa Bio Science, 2014)Objectives: Despite the availability of many species of amaranth in Kenya, there is inadequate information on their nutritional diversity and how they can be best used in mitigation of malnutrition. Hence, this study was ... -
Nyandarua County Information Portal
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2013)The idea behind this project is to ensure that the residents can access information very fast and effectively. The county portal will be an information hub to the residents in the county. The residents will be able to ... -
Oil Content and Fatty Acid Composition of Five Linseed Varieties Grown In Two Agro-Ecological Locations of Kenya
(Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, 2015)Linseed oil is rich in the health promoting fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3) and oleic acid (omega-9), and is increasingly being used as a nutraceutical. However, there is limited linseed production in Kenya ... -
On Estimation of Panel Data Regression Model in the Presence of Endogeneity and Heterogeneity
(International Journal of Mathematics & Computation, 2015) -
On quantiles estimation based on stratified sampling using multiplicative bias correction approach.
(Journal of Mathematics, 2022)In the context of stratified sampling, we develop a nonparametric regression technique to estimating finite population quantiles in model-based frameworks using a multiplicative bias correction strategy. Furthermore, the ... -
On The Existence of a Non-Relativistic Hermitian Time Operator
(2015)The existence of a hermitian time operator is proposed in the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg equation of motion is shown to yield constant rate of flow of time. It is shown to yield results ... -

Optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by varying the sodium hydroxide to zinc acetate molar ratios using a Sol-Gel process.
(Springer, 2016)Material property dependence on the OH−/Zn2+ molar ratio of the precursor was investigated by varying the amount of NaOH during synthesis of ZnO. It was necessary to control the water content and temperature of the mixture ... -
Optical, microphysical and radiative properties of aerosols over a tropical rural site in Kenya, East Africa: Source identification, modification and aerosol type discrimination
(Pergamon, 2018)A better understanding of aerosol optical, microphysical and radiative properties is a crucial challenge for climate change studies. In the present study, column-integrated aerosol optical and radiative properties observed ... -

Ownership and technical efficiency of hospitals: evidence from Ghana using data envelopment analysis
(BioMed Central, 2014)In order to measure and analyse the technical efficiency of district hospitals in Ghana, the specific objectives of this study were to (a) estimate the relative technical and scale efficiency of government, mission, private ... -
Parallel evolution of hysterothecial ascomata in ascolocularous fungi (Ascomycota, Fungi).
(The Natural History Museum, 2009-12-01)Ascoma morphologies have traditionally been used to classify filamentous ascomycete fungi. Phylogenies generated using DNA sequence data have since shown most of the previously identified groups not to be monophyletic. The ... -
