MODELING KEY DRIVERS OF UNDER-FIVE CHILD MALNUTRITION IN MARSABIT COUNTY, KENYA USING GENERALIZED LINEAR MODELS
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Malnutrition remains one of the major problems in developing countries affecting people of all age groups. The severity of the crisis varies among specific groups, such as children under the age of five years. In Kenya, ...
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 ...
STUDY OF STEADY AND UNSTEADY VISCOUS INCOMPRESSIBLE MHD FLUID FLOW
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
An analytical study of laminar steady, viscous, incompressible Couette fluid flow between two infinite parallel plates under the influence of transverse magnetic field is studied. The resulting governing partial differential ...
E-OPTIMAL DESIGNS FOR SECOND-DEGREE KRONECKER MODEL MIXTURE EXPERIMENTS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Many products are formed by mixing together two or more ingredients. For example, in building construction, concrete is formed by mixing sand, water and cement. Many practical problems are associated with investigation of ...
OVERALL CENTRAL MOMENTS OF TRAFFIC DELAY AT A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Overall traffic delay model for estimating the mean and variance at a signalized intersection is discussed. The model was developed under basis of two delay components, namely deterministic and stochastic components. The ...
SOLUTION OF THE NON-LINEAR THIRD ORDER PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION OF A STEADY HYDROMAGNETIC FLOW THROUGH A CHANNEL WITH PARALLEL STATIONARY POROUS PLATES
(University of Eldoret, 2018)
This thesis deals with the solution of the non-linear third order partial differential
equation of a steady hydromagnetic laminar flow of a conducting viscous incompressible
fluid through a channel with two parallel ...
