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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
BIO-CONROL OF SELECTED BARLEY FUNGAL PATHOGENS USING Paenibacillus polymyxa KaI245 ISOLATED FROM SORGHUM RHIZOSPHERE IN WESTERN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
The use of agrochemicals in agriculture has several advantages but has been reported to cause phytotoxicity, hazardous to animals and the environment. In a quest to find alternatives, this study sought to test selected ...
EFFICACIES OF CHLORFENVINPHOS, AMITRAZ AND ALPHACYPERMETHRIN AND THEIR COMBINATIONS ON RHIPICEPHALUS (BOOPHILUS) DECOLORATUS TICKS FROM CATTLE IN NANDI COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2019)
The one-host tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus, is a ubiquitous ectoparasite of cattle in Nandi County, Kenya. For more than one decade, the County has used plunge dips to apply, either chlorfenvinphos, amitraz ...
