DELIMITATION OF CASSAVA GERMPLASM CLUSTERS IN KENYA BASED ON PHENOTYPIC TRAITS
(African Crop Science Journal, 2024)Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple food and more lately, cash crop in Kenya, supporting millions of stakeholders along its value chain. However, the phenotypic variability of the crop in the country is not ... -
Phenotypic Characterization of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) Germplasm in Kenya
(ASRIC Journal on Agricultural Sciences, 2023)Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important cash crop for many small scale farmers in Kenya. The cassava genetic resources in Kenya are often underestimated due to improper characterization of the germplasm available. ... -
VECTOR AUTOREGRESSION MODELING OF MALARIA INCIDENCE AND MORTALITY RATES IN MIGORI COUNTY, KENYA: A TIME SERIES ANALYSIS INCORPORATING EXOGENOUS INFLUENCES
(2025)Malaria remains hyperendemic in Kenya’s Lake Victoria basin despite scalable interventions. It is a pressing public health challenge in Migori county that reported a 27% mortality rate in 2020 in children aged 6-59 ... -
Wavelength reuse in passive optical network for polarization based environmental sensing
(2023 IEEE AFRICON, 2024)We propose and experimentally demonstrate a cost-effective technique of optical sensor that utilizes the reused wavelength in the customer’s premises. This has been achieved by utilizing the saturated EDFA to suppress ... -

ON THE NORM OF JORDAN ELEMENTARY OPERATOR IN TENSOR PRODUCT OF C*-ALGEBRAS
(Int. J. Mathematics, 2024)The norm property of different types of Elementary operators has attracted a lot of researchers due to its wide range applications in functional analysis. From available literature the norm of Jordan elementary operator ... -
On The Norm of Finite Length Elementary Operator in Tensor Product of C*-Algebras
(International Journal of Mathematics and Computer Research, 2024)Many properties of Elementary operators, including spectrum, numerical ranges, compactness, rank, and norm have been studied in depth and some results have been obtained. However, little has been done in determining the ... -
On unitary equivalence and almost similarity of some classes of operators in Hilbert spaces
(International Journal of Statistics and Applied Mathematics, 2020)In operator theory, it is a well-known fact that two similar operators have equal spectra even if they do not belong to the same class of operators. However, under a stronger relation of unitary equivalence it can be ... -
On Norm of Elementary Operator: An Application of Stampfli’s Maximal Numerical Range
(Pure and Applied Mathematics Journal, 2018)Many researchers in operator theory have attempted to determine the relationship between the norm of an elementary operator of finite length and the norms of its coefficient operators. Various results have been obtained ... -
Growth Inhibitory Effect of Datura stramonium and Tamarindus indica on Resistant Malaria Mosquito Body Surface and Gut Microbiota
