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 ...
SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL TBAF-PROMOTED DESILYLATION OF FLUOROGENIC 3-CYANO-7-HYDROXY-4-METHYLCOUMARIN DERIVATIVES AS POTENTIAL RAPID FLUORIDE DETECTORS IN POTABLE WATER
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Over the years, Fluoride has been identified as a contaminant of great global concern on drinking water safety. The need to prevent the population from consuming higher fluoride content in water lies in fluoride sensing. ...
INCOMMENSURATE CRYSTALLIZATION OF NEUTRON MATTER IN NEUTRON STARS
(EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS, 2020)
The composition of the neutron stars from its surface region, outer-core, inner-core, and to its center is still being investigated. One
can only surmise on the properties of neutron stars from the spectroscopic data ...
Safety evaluation and antihyperglycaemic effect of root extract of Maerua decumbens (Brongn.) DeWolf in Wistar rats
(Elsevier, 2020)
Local communities living in rural regions of Kenya use the plant, Maerua decumbens
(Brongn.) DeWolf for various purposes including water purification (roots), as food (roots
and fruits) and medicinal (various parts of ...
