Analysis of young people’s career by use of Markov chains: case study of Kisumu city
(Maseno University, 2017)It is the desire of every person to have a career. Not much thought has been taken by young people on how they can arrive at their future careers. The reason is mainly because they are not aware. As much as many people ... -
Analytic solutions of call and put options of nonlinear black-scholes equation with transaction costs and price slippage
(Maseno University, 2016)A nonlinear Black-Scholes Partial Differential Equation whose nonlinearity is as a result of transaction costs and a price slippage impact that lead to market illiquidity with feedback effects was studied. Most of the ... -
Application of life table model in studying progress of public primary school pupils in Migori sub county, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2016)Education progress plays a very important role in determining the future of a pupil and even in planning for the schools and education sector as a whole. Primary Education forms the basis of implementing Poverty Reduction ... -
Application of logistic regression model to determine factors causing maternal mortality: a case study of Migori county referral hospital (2007-2015)
(Maseno University, 2016)Kenya is one of the major contributors to the poor maternal health status in Africa with maternal mortality ratio of 488 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births translating to 7,700 maternal deaths annually (KDHS, 2014). ... -
Application of Markov chain Model in transition of girls in Public secondary schools; a case Study of Kisumu west sub-county, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2017)Transition is a very important factor in determining success of a student in secondary school. It forms a basis for implementing poverty reduction strategy by the government through acquisition of basic literal skills ... -
Approximations of ruin probabilities under financial constraints.
(Maseno University, 2022)This thesis studies the approximate ruin probabilities under financial constraints which in- clude the rate of inflation, constant interest rate, and taxation. When the surplus falls below zero, the insurance company is ... -
Arima Model for Forecasting of Monthly Rainfall And Temperature in the Lake Victoria Basin
(Maseno University, 2016)Economic activities in Lake Victoria Basin such as agriculture, sh- ing, mining and transportation depend's heavily on the climatic conditions of the Lake and its Basin. Global climatic change caused by Greenhouse Gas ... -
Automorphisms of the unit groups of square radical zero, cube radical zero and power four radical zero finite commutative completely primary rings
(Maseno University, 2016)The study of automorphisms of algebraic structures has contributed immensely to many important findings in mathematics. For example, Galois characterized the general degree five single variable polynomials over , by ... -
Certain properties of essential Numerical ranges of bounded Operators on banach spaces
(Maseno University, 2018)Abstract The numerical range of an operator on a Hilbert space has been extensively researched on. The concept of numerical range of an operator goes back as early as 1918 when Toeplitz defined it as the field of values ... -
Computation of efficient nash equilibria for experimental economic games
(Maseno University, 2014)Game theory has been used to study a wide variety of human and animal behaviors. It looks for states of equilibrium, sometimes called solutions. Nash equilibrium is the central solution concept with diverse applications ... -
A correlation study on the effect of Non-conditional cash transfer on poverty Alleviation among older persons in Emuhaya sub- county, Kenya
(Maseno university, 2021)The world is experiencing growth in the number of older persons with those aged 60 years and above projected to double from 1.4 billion in 2015 to 2.8 billion in 2050. According to the Kenya Population and Housing Census, ... -
Deficiency indices and spectra of Fourth order Differential Operators with Unbounded Coefficients on a Hilbert space
(Maseno University, 2016)The concept of unbounded operators provides an abstract framework for dealing with differential operators and unbounded observable such as in quantum mechanics. The theory of unbounded operators was developed by John Von ... -
Deterministic modelling of tuberculosis and Hiv/aids
(Maseno university, 2010)The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic presents ~ massive challenge to the control of recurrent diseases like tuberculosis (TB) at all levels. Tuberculosis is also one of the most common causes of morbidity and ... -

(Maseno University, 2017)HIV/AIDS epidemic has endangered the development of countries in this new century, presenting one of the greatest challenges of this generation and threatening human development. To accomplish an efficient response requires ... -
The effect of constant and non constant pressure driving force on the power output in a solar chimney power plant
(Maseno University, 2015)Solar energy has a great potential for the future; it is free, its supplies are unlimited, it does not pollute the environment and cannot be controlled by one industry. Currently, the use of solar energy as an alternative ... -
Efficiencies of reinforced bib and augmented· Block designs in sugarcane test families’ vs Controls experiments
(Maseno university, 2010)The designs used for experimentation generally require making all the possible paired comparisons among the treatments but in plant breeding selection programmes the comparison of interest is usually a subset of all the ... -
