MODELING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROL MEASURES TOWARDS HIV/AIDS AND PNEUMONIA CO-INFECTION
(University of Eldoret, 2013)The lungs are a principal target of HIV-associated complications and persons with HIV-infection are at an increased risk for a wide spectrum of opportunistic Pneumonias. In this research an HIV/AIDS and Pneumonia co-infection ... -
HEAD LOSS ANALYSIS IN PIPE FLOW SYSTEMS
(University of Eldoret, 2016)Fluid flow in pipes is accompanied by major and minor friction losses. Major friction losses are as a result of loss of energy in pipes due to viscous effects of the fluids on pipe surfaces. Minor friction losses do occur ... -
SOME NEW SECOND ORDER ROTATABLE DESIGNS BASED ON BALANCED INCOMPLETE BLOCK DESIGN
(University of Eldoret, 2014)The purpose of this study was to construct some new second order rotatable designs using balanced incomplete block designs. The study of rotatable designs is mainly concerned with the estimation of absolute response in ... -
AN APPLICATION OF MIXTURE EXPERIMENTS IN FORMULATION OF POULTRY FEED FOR MODELLING CHICK WEIGHT
(University of Eldoret, 2019)Poultry farming in Africa has significantly grown over the years. It is highly dependent on the economy and type of feed used. The quality, components, proportions, rations and storage of feeds is quite critical in poultry ... -
CONSTRUCTION OF MODIFIED THIRD ORDER ROTATABLE DESIGNS THROUGH PAIRWISE BALANCED DESIGNS
(University of Eldoret, 2019)Rotatable designs are designed for use of response surfaces. Rotatability is evidently a greatly popular property for Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM is a group of statistical and mathematical technique valuable ... -
HYDRODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A FIXED INCLINE SLIDER BEARING
(University of Eldoret, 2016)In the present day technological scenario, machines rotating at high speeds and carrying heavy rotor loads are used. As a result, fixed incline slider bearings are used. They are designed for high axial loads. When a bearing ... -
THE ACOUSTIC WAVE PROPAGATION EQUATION: THE DISCONTINUOUS GALERKIN TIME DOMAIN SOLUTION APPROACH
(University of Eldoret, 2019)This thesis presents a finite element method, discontinuous Galerkin time domain approach that solves the 2-D acoustic wave equation in cylindrical coordinates. The method is based on discretization of the wave field into ... -
FINITE DIFFERENCE SCHEMES ARISING FROM OPERATOR SPLITTING FOR SOLVING TWO DIMENSIONAL SYSTEM OF BURGERS’ EQUATION
(University of Eldoret, 2016)Solving Burgers equation continues to be a challenging problem. Burgers‟ equation is a fundamental partial differential equation from fluid mechanics. It occurs in various areas of applied mathematics, such as modeling of ... -
EFFECTS OF PRICES BEFORE AND AFTER TAX, AND INCOME PER CAPITA ON TOBACCO CONSUMPTION IN KENYA: COINTEGRATION APPROACH
(University of Eldoret, 2021)Smoking of cigarette is regarded as one of the most cause of deaths among other factors in the world. It is also a causative agent of the various cancerous diseases. It is by fact though preventable, the major cause ... -
SOLVING MATHEMATICAL WORD PROBLEMS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS: A CASE OF TINDERET SUB-COUNTY, NANDI COUNTY KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2020)Mathematical word problems are concepts taught at the end of every topic to allow students apply the content that was taught. The study focused on investigating the student’s difficulties in solving mathematical word ... -
ON ALMOST SIMILARITY AND SOME CLASSES OF OPERATORS IN HILBERT SPACES
(University of Eldoret, 2021)Similarity is a recent area of study on classes of operators in Hilbert spaces. The study of operators, under similarity and quasisimilarity concepts, motivated researchers to extend their research to almost similarity ... -
ON NUMERICAL RANGE OF SOME CLASSES OF OPERATORS IN HILBERT SPACES
(University of Eldoret, 2021)The numerical range of operators in Hilbert spaces has been researched by several authors. The properties of the numerical range play an important role in identifying the behaviour of operators in Hilbert spaces. It ... -
HYDRODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A FIXED INCLINE SLIDER BEARING
(2016-05-23)In the present day technological scenario, machines rotating at high speeds and carrying heavy rotor loads are used. As a result, fixed incline slider bearings are used. They are designed for high axial loads. When a bearing ... -
APPLICATIONS OF BAYESIAN METHODS IN ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE
(2016-05-20)Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a standard method for describing and estimating heterogeneity among the means of a response variable across the levels of multiple categorical factors. In most experimental settings, ANOVA ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF EFFECTS OF BOUNDARY LAYER THICKNESS
(2016-05-20)The motion of fluid substances can be described by the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations arise from the application of Newton's second Law of motion to a fluid. In this study, Navier-Stokes equations in two ... -
AN INVESTIGATION ON MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS FLUID FLOW BETWEEN TWO PARALLEL INFINITE PLATES SUBJECTED TO AN INCLINED MAGNETIC FIELD AND VARYING TEMPERATURES
(2016-05-20)Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the study of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of magnetic fields. This study examined the motion of a viscous, electrically conducting and incompressible fluid flowing steadily ... -
DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION MODEL OF HIV-1 IN VIVO DYNAMICS IN THE PRESENCE OF ARV TREATMENT
(2016-05-18)ABSTRACT Many mathematical models have been developed to describe the immunological response to infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). The models have been used to predict the evolutions of HIV-1 in vivo ...
