Assessment of rainwater retention in agricultural land and crop yield increase due to conservation tillage in Ewaso Ng’iro river basin, Kenya
(2006)
Rainwater harvesting and management (RHM) systems are increasingly being recognized as one of the strategies of upgrading rainfed agriculture, especially by smallholder farmers in semi-arid environments. The need to increase ...
Effect of source, time and method of nitrogen application on growth and yield components of potato in Kenya
(2000)
The effect of different sources of Nitrogen (N), time and method of application on growth and
development of potato was investigated over two seasons using the cultivar Dutch Robjyn. The
three sources of nitrogen (Calcium ...
The relationship between students socio-economic status and accessto public university education in Bungoma West District, Kenya
(International Journal of Advanced Research, 2013-05-29)
To access university education in Kenya, one needs to attain grade C+ in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education and above as a minimum qualification according to Joint Admission Board (JAB) requirements. The sample of ...
Forensic estimation of time of death: a mathematical model
(International Journal of Management,IT and Engineering (IJMIE), 2013-07-01)
In this paper we establish the exact time of death of a murdered person. This leads to an ordinary differential equations whose solution has been analyzed to provide the approximate time of death. Forensic expert will try ...
A probabilistic data encryption scheme
(international journal sharing platiform ; Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2013-01-01)
In this paper the author presents a probabilistic encryption scheme that is polynomially secure and has the efficiency of deterministic schemes. From the theoretical construction of Brands and Gill (1996), it is clear that ...
On generation of measurable covers for measurable sets using multiple integral of functions
(Science Signpost Publishing:Journal of Mathematics and Statistical Science,, 2015-06-01)
In this article, we formulate an n-dimensional structure of measurable covers for measurable sets. Properties such as monotonocity, countable additivity and σ-finiteness of the projective tensor product of vector measure ...
Solutions of second-order partial differential equations in two independent variables using method of characteristics
(International Journal of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, 2013-06-01)
Derivation and solution of the heat equation in 1-D
(International Journal of Engineering, Science and Mathematics, 2013-06-01)
Heat flows in the direction of decreasing temperature, that is, from hot to cool. In this paper we derive the heat equation and consider the flow of heat along a metal rod. The rod allows us to consider the temperature, ...
Mixed Galerkin finite element solution of the homogeneous Burgers equation
(International Journal of Engineering and Scientific Research (IJESR), 2015-02-01)
The Burgers’ equation is a very useful mathematical model and can be used in solving a variety of interesting problems in applied mathematics. It models effectively certain problems of a fluid flow nature, in which either ...
Building Materials from Stabilized Soils: The use of under-utilized resources for Low Cost Building
(International Journal of Sustainable Construction Engineering and Technology, 2013-01-01)
