Finite difference solution othird order viscous wave equation
(International journal of engineering, science and mathematics, 2014)
A new numerical method for Nwogu’s (ASCE Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean En-gineering1993;119:618) two-dimensional extended Boussinesq equations is presented using a lineartriangular nite element spatial ...
Determination of tannin concentrations in african indigenous vegetables, grains and cassava roots from Emuhaya District, western Kenya
(Sciknow Publications Ltd : American Journal of Nutrition and Food Science, 2014-01-01)
The studyevaluated tanninconcentrations in four vegetables, three grains and cassava roots as the most common foodstuffs in the diet of local communities from Emuhaya district in western Kenyaand their nutritional health ...
Effect of Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) on the Shelf Life and Postharvest Quality of Purple Passion Fruit (Passiflora Edulis Sims)
(2014-07-03)
Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) being highly perishable is susceptible to rapid water loss after harvest leading to diminished quality. This study evaluated the efficacy of activebag® which is a new modified atmosphere ...
Variation of nutritional and anti-nutritional contents in finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn) genotypes
(2014-11)
Variation in nutritional and anti-nutritional contents among six finger millet genotypes was
determined. Improved finger millet genotypes Gulu-E and FMV-1 from Kenya Agricultural Research Institute,
KNE-479 and KNE 1034 ...
A HIV/AIDS model in a homogeneous population with time lags in the transmission
(HIKARI Ltd: Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2014-01-01)
We investigate a simple HIV/AIDS epidemic model in a heterosexual population by by modifying a Susceptible-Infective-Removed (SIR) model. The model considers sexual transmission of HIV where individuals are being recruited ...
Effects of ethephon and potassium nitrate on off-season flower induction in mango
(2014)
Mango (Mangifera indica) fruit production in Kenya is seasonal with peak and off seasons
– one of the contributing factors to postharvest losses. Off-season flower induction is a
strategy that can be used to address mango ...
Effects of early and late harvest on agronomic performance and stability of late blight resistant (R-gene Free) Potato genotypes
(Korean Society of Crop Science and Springer., 2014-06-01)
Late blight is an important constraint to potato production and genotype resistance is an effective disease control mesure. Ten late
blight resistant potato genotypes (R-gene free) were assessed for yield performance and ...
Some Irreducible 2-Modular Codes invariant Under The Symplectic Group S6(2)
(GLASNIK MATEMATIˇ CKI, 2014-01-01)
We examine all non-trivial binary codes and designs obtained from the 2-modular primitive permutation representations of degrees up to 135 of the simple projective special symplectic group S6(2). The submodule lattice of ...
Distribution of spectrum in a direct sum decomposition of operators into normal and completely non-normal parts
(Modern Scientific press : IJMMS, 2014-01-01)
We discuss the distribution of spectra of a direct sum decomposition of an arbitrary operator into normal and completely non normal parts. We utilize the fact that any given operator 𝑇∈𝐵(𝐻) can be decomposed into a ...
Pattern of origin of anterior inferior cerebellar artery in a black Kenyan population
(2014-09-02)
Background: Pattern of origin of anterior inferior artery is important in interpretation of posterior circulatory stroke
and during posterior cranial fossa surgery for aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, tumors, ...
