(Directorate of Research and Innovation, University of Eldoret., 2021-03)
Tomato is one of the most important vegetables in Kenya and plays a critical role in income generation and creation of employment for both rural and urban populations, in addition to meeting food nutritional
requirements. ...
LEISHMANIA RESERVOIRS AND SANDFLY VECTORS : DANGERS IN CAVES
(Directorate of Research and Innovation, University of Eldoret., 2021-03)
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis occurs in the Highlands of Ethiopia and arid and semi arid regions of Kenya and Uganda, where increased human-fly contact occurs in villages built on rocky hills or river banks, which are the natural ...
Enhancing Sustainability of Biogas Production in Kenya
(Directorate of Research and Innovation, University of Eldoret, 2021-03)
Biogas is essentially a mix of gases and can be produced naturally and articially. In
natural conditions, the gas mainly methane is produced through wastes degradation
by microorganisms and enter into the environment. ...
TRADITIONAL MEDICINES TO CURE DIABETES MELLITUS IN THE NORTH RIFT
(Directorate of Research and Innovation, University of Eldoret, 2021-03)
Presently, there are more than 415 million people affected by diabetes
mellitus worldwide,(International Diabetes Federation). This figure is
projected to rise to over 642 million or more by 2040.
Around 90% of diabetic ...
HYDROMECHANICAL SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS: MODELLING, MONITORING AND PREDICTION USING BP-FF ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Sloping regions of the earth’s crust have formed part of human settlements from time immemorial. However, these regions are prone to geological hazards especially mass wasting processes such as debris flows and landslips. ...
MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF FLOW OF FERTILIZER-WATER MIXTURE THROUGH SOIL AND ITS EFFECT ON PLANT GROWTH.
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
The demand for food in developing countries is increasing daily due to population growth and dropping crop yields caused by climatic changes and acidic soils due to continuous use of inorganic fertilizers that are meant ...
MATHEMATICAL MODELLING ON THE IMPACT OF HOSPITALIZATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF TYPHOID FEVER
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Typhoid fever disease is an infectious ailment which mostly leads to diarrhoea, headache, high fever and stomach pains. This disease is majorly caused by a bacterial infection known as Salmonella typhi. Typhoid fever has ...
THE EFFECT OF TWO LATERAL INFLOW CHANNELS ON MAIN CHANNEL DISCHARGE
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
In this study, we examined the flow from two lateral inflow channels in a man-made open rectangular channel of an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The influence of cross-sectional area, length of two lateral inflow channels, ...
MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF FLOW OF WATER IN AN OPEN CHANNEL OF PARABOLIC CROSS-SECTION
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
This study investigates open channel flows with a parabolic cross-section. The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of top width, channel slope, and energy coefficient on flow velocity. The methodology used ...
USE OF TAYLOR’S SERIES EXPANSION IN DEVELOPING FINITE DIFFERENCE METHODS FOR SOLVING THE WAVE EQUATION
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used to model physical phenomena such as wave propagation. Among the simplest hyperbolic equations are the 1-D advection equation which is a first order PDE and the 1-D ...
