Screening new strains sugarcane by augmented block design and randomized complete block design
(Maseno University, 2013)Of the three pillars in which the Kenya vision 2030 is anchored, agriculture is a key sector. Over the past few years the challenges to sugar production i.e. the choice of the variety to plant, soil nutrients variation ... -
Generalized Bloch Spaces of the Upper Half-Plane and Their Composition Semigroups
(Maseno University, 2021)Banach space structure of the Bloch space of the unit disc B(D) has been studied widely by many Mathematicians. Cima, Anderson, among others have proved that the Bloch space of the unit disc, B(D) and the little Bloch space ... -
On shifted Fibonacci sequences and Their polynomials
(Maseno University, 2020)Fibonacci sequences and their polynomials have been generalized mainly by two ways: by maintaining the recurrence relation and varying the initial conditions and by varying the recurrence relation and maintaining the ... -
Model selection in generalized estimating Equations based on kullback’s i-divergence
(Maseno University, 2020)The method of Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) is often used in analyzing correlated longitudinal data and does provide consistent estimates which are robust to misspecification of the working correlation structure. ... -
A diffusive model of Ebola transmission
(Maseno University, 2021)Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976 with two concurrent outbreaks. Human mobility greatly facilitated the spread of the disease in every successive outbreak as was the case in 2014 west African EVD outbreak. ... -
Modelling delay in migration for constant predator And predator-density-dependent prey migration
(Maseno University, 2020)ABSTRACT Predator-prey models describe the dynamics of ecological systems in which two species, the predator and the prey, interact. The classical Lotka-Volterra model is the simplest predator-prey model. Migration of ... -
On Schwarz norms
(Maseno University, 2015)Abstract Investigation of the properties of the numerical radius by Berger and Stampfli showed that indeed numerical radius norm is a Schwarz norm. Later on James P.Williams determined a family of distinct Schwarz norms ... -
Application of seasonal Autoregressive integrated moving Average (sarima) to model and Forecast water demand in Kisumu City, Kenya
(2014)ABSTRACT Increased population of Kisumu City over the past years has resulted into high demand and competition for water and related facilities. This is evident in the persistent water scarcity within the City, use of ... -
