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) ... -
Molecular identification and characterization of natural fruit pulp in reconstituted juices in Kenya
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)Fruits and fruit-based products comprise abundant bioactive compounds valuable to human health and may reduce the risk of disease by beneficially targeting body functions. Consequently, these fruits are used in varying ... -
Evaluation of physico-chemical properties of expansive soils stabilized by limestone calcined clay cement
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)Expansive soil covers a big portion of the world's land area. It is one of the main contributors to cracks in structures such as buildings, roads, and pavements among others. Soil stabilization is aimed at reducing plasticity, ... -
Formulation of a set of even numbers and generation of pairs of odd numbers for application in proving strong Goldbach's conjecture

Glycemic index values of stiff porridge: impact of various flour blends and fermented milk
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)Glycemic Index (GI) measures how fast or slow the blood glucose rises after consumption of a carbohydrate-based food. GI is important in the prevention and management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Globally T2DM affects ... -
Mathematical modelling of the impacts of screening and non-clinical strategies in combating Covid 19 transmission in Kenya
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)COVID-19 is a serious problem in Kenya. It has put an unprecedented burden on the worldwide economy and public health. The rapid spread of COVID-19 has been driven predominantly by aerosol transmissions. We modeled the ... -
Removal of lead (II) and cadmium (II) Ions from synthetic waste water using clay cellulose nanocomposite
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)Removal of heavy metals from sewage effluent is necessary to avoid environmental contamination. Lead and cadmium ions have been found to be the main heavy metal contaminants in waste water mainly from municipal sources. ...
