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 ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
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. ... -
Modulated Raman pump for integrated VCSEL-based reach enhancement and clock tone dissemination in optical communication
(Elsevier, 2019)The fast growth of data traffic in access networks calls for high speed and low-cost optical links. To extend reach for users in metro areas requires optical amplification of the signal carrying data. In this paper ... -
Integrated extended reach VCSEL interconnect with 8.5 Gbps data modulated forward Raman pump signals
(JOURNAL OF MODERN OPTICS, 2019)We experimentally present thefirst reported integrated cross-modulatedforward Raman pump, with low-cost, power-efficient VCSELs. A single-mode VCSEL is directly modulated with 8.5 Gbps data and transmitted over a 50.7 ... -
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NITRATES, PHOSPHATES IN WATER, IODINE LEVELS IN TABLE SALT AND GOITER OCCURENCE: A CASE STUDY OF NANDI HILLS, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2017)Nitrates and phosphates are among the major inorganic pollutants in the environment, primarily contributed by nitrogenous and phosphate fertilizers, organic manures, human and animal wastes, and industrial effluents through ... -
PHASE TRANSITION IN SUPERCONDUCTORS
(University of Eldoret, 2015)Superconductivity is the disappearance of DC electrical resistance in a material when it is cooled to a certain critical temperature, when a material changes from normal state to superconducting state when it is cooled ... -

(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 ... -
Euphorbia Plant Extracts: The Solution to the Tomato Wilt Disease
(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. ... -
RADIATION EXPOSURE LEVELS AND THEIR POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON DOMESTICATED ANIMALS IN WEST POKOT, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)Radioactive matter in the earth’s crust and celestial bodies are the main sources of natural radioactive exposure to man and animals. The main contribution to external exposure comes from gamma-emitting radionuclides present ... -
GENOTYPIC VARIATION OF BAMBARA GROUNDNUT (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) FOR TOLERANCE TO LOW PHOSPHORUS IN ACIDIC SOILS
(University of Eldoret, 2021)Low available phosphorus (P) in acidic soils limits productivity and growth of Bambara groundnuts.The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the growth and yield performance of Bambara genotypes under varying levels ... -
ANTI-DERMATOPHYTIC ACTIVITY OF Salvia nilotica METHANOLIC LEAF EXTRACT AGAINST Trichophyton mentagrophytes
(University of Eldoret, 2021)Conventional medicine used against dermatophytosis has resulted in treatment failure, relapses of the fungal infection and side effects due to its use. Herbalist in the Tugen community in Kenya claim that Salvia nilotica ... -
