Numerical Solution of Non-Linear Boundary Value Problems of Ordinary Differential Equations Using the Shooting Technique
(2017)Ordinary Di erential Equations (ODEs) of the Initial Value Problem (IVP) or Boundary Value Problem (BVP) type can model phenomena in wide range of elds including science, engineering, economics, social science, biology, ... -
Numerical solutions of the Burgers’ system in two dimensions under varied initial and boundary conditions
(2012)In this paper, we generate varied sets of exact initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions for the 2-D Burgers’ equations from general analytical solutions via Hopf-Cole transformation and separation of variables. These ... -
A numerical thermal growth model for prediction of microalgae production in photobioreactors
(AIP Publishing, 2016-03)A thermal growth model for microalgae that are not heavier than water with the consideration of heat transfer and growth-temperature dependence in photobioreactor (PBR) is developed. The microalgae growth performance is ... -
Occurrence characteristics of equatorial plasma bubbles over Kisumu, Kenya during Solar maximum of Solar Cycle 24
(International Journal of Advanced Astronomy, 2021)Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs) are irregular plasma density depletions in the ambient electron density in the equatorial F-region ion osphere generated after sunset. EPBs are known to bring disruptions to telecommunication ... -
On a complex spacetime frame: new foundation for physics and mathematics
(Research gate, 2016)This paper provides a derivation of a unit vector specifying the temporal axis of four-dimensional space-time frame as an imaginary axis in the direction of light or general wave propagation. The basic elements of the ... -
On atomic state purity operator, degree of state purity and concurrence in the JC and anti-JC models
(arxiv.org, 2022)The state of an atom in a bipartite qubit, Jaynes-Cummings (JC) or anti-Jaynes-Cummings (aJC) interaction is described by a reduced density operator. The purity of the state has been measured by taking the trace of the ... -

(Maseno University, 2020)The state of an atom in a bipartite qubit, Jaynes-Cummings (JC) or anti-Jaynes-Cummings (aJC) interaction is described by a reduced density operator. The purity of the state has been measured by taking the trace of the ... -
ON SINGULAR CAUCHY PROBLEM OF EULER-POISSON DARBOUX EQUATION
(2012)We solve the singular Cauchy problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation. The Riemann function, a solution corresponding to the adjoint equation is calculated and it enables us to evaluate any solution at a point by the ... -
On the Solution of Confined Aquifer Flow Equations: Finite Difference Approximations
(Hikari Ltd, 2013)In general, groundwater flow in porous media on a microscopic level is three-dimensional. However, when considering regional flow problems ie groundwater flow on a macroscopic level, it is noted that because of the low ... -
On the Solution of n-Dimensional Regular Cauchy Problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux Equation (EPD)
(2017)A general exact solution to the n-dimensional regular Cauchy prob- lem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux (EPD) equation has been studied. Firstly, the general exact solution for the one dimensional regular Cauchy prob- lem of ... -
On the steady MHD couette flow between two infinite parallel plates in an uniform transverse magnetic field
(2015)In this paper we consider laminar viscous incompressible fluid between two infinite parallel plates when the upper plate is moving with constant velocity Uo and the lower plate is held stationary under the influence of ... -
Optical properties and Raman studies of amorphous Se-Bi thin films
(The African Review of Physics, 2014)Flash evaporated amorphous Se Bi (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 at. %) thin films of 350 ± 10 thickness have been investigated in the wavelength range of 200nm − 3000nm. It is found that the effect of increasing bismuth ... -

Patient Characteristics from an Emergency Care Center in Rural Western Kenya
(Elsevier, 2019)Emergency care is a neglected area of focus in many low- and middle-income countries. There is a paucity of research on types and frequencies of acute illnesses and injuries in low-resource settings. -
Perceived Impact of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund on the Youth Towards the Establishment of Small Scale Rural Enterprises in Turbo Division, Uasin-gishu County, Kenya
(Universitas Sulawesi Barat, 2017)The inception of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund has seen the rise of youth groups in rural areas. This paper is thus aimed at understanding the impact of the fund towards the youth establishment of small scale ... -
Photospins in the quantum Rabi model
(Research gate, 2019)This article provides a systematic interpretation of the quantum Rabi model as a model of photospins formed in the atom-field Jaynes-Cummings and anti-Jaynes-Cummings interaction mechanisms. A photospin is a quantized ... -
