Modelling Rainfall Patterns in Meru and Embu Regions Using Generalized Linear Models and Series Models
(Meru University, 2018)
Rainfall is the meteorological phenomenon that is useful for human activities. Majority of population depend on rainfall water for agriculture and domestic use. Since Meru and Embu regions are agricultural zones relying ...
Modelling of malaria admission cases for children under five years using Sarima model
(Meru University, 2019)
Malaria has become a killer disease to children in Kakamega county and children under age of five years are the most vulnerable to malaria. Lack of forecasting using available data on malaria indicators hinders the monitoring ...
Modelling corruption using modified lotka-volterra equations and its analysis: A perspective of interactions between academic staff and students
(Meru University, 2022)
Corruption is a social vice that has also penetrated the institutions of higher learning just like other sectors of the economy. Corruption distorts the institutional fabrics and undermines the institutional management and ...
A deterministic model of HIV transmission between two closed patches incorporating the monod equation
(Meru University, 2020)
A HIV transmission between two major cities in Kenya was developed and analyzed using deterministic approach. The model assumed truck drivers as agents of HIV transmission and incorporated the Monod function as a saturation ...
A deterministic analysis of the effectiveness of non-clinical approaches in the control of transmission of schistosomiasis case study of Mwea irrigation scheme Kenya
(Meru University, 2022)
Schistosomiasis commonly known as bilharzia is regarded by WHO as a neglected tropical disease. It affects the intestines and the urinary system preferentially, but can harm other systems in the body. The disease is a ...
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 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 ...
Factors influencing delivery of post abortion care services in Meru County, Kenya
(Meru University, 2022)
Globally, an estimated 8.5 million women experience abortion-related complications, resulting in 47,000 maternal deaths annually. Most complications occur in developing countries with the most severe morbidity and mortality ...
Evaluation of Kenyan Clay and Kunkur Fines for Utilization in Production of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)
Concrete is the most utilized construction material globally. 10-15% of the components in concrete are cement. This means that a lot of cement is needed in concrete construction. In Kenya, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) ...
