Effects of inclination angle and free convection on velocity profile for a steady 2-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic fluid flow in an inclined cylindrical pipe
(European Journal of Engineering and Technology Research, 2021)Effects of inclination and free convection on velocity profile for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flow in an inclined cylindrical pipe has been investigated. The governing partial differential equations are the equations ... -
Effects of Structural Viscoelasticity in Non-Divergence free Deformable Porous Media with Incompressible Constituents
(Global Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2018)In this paper, we investigate the importance of structural viscoelasticity in the mechanical response of deformable porous media with incompressible constituents under sudden changes in the external applied quasi-static ... -
Empowered schools embrace the competency based curriculum: sharing the Kenya connect empowered school model in Machakos county
(Journal of Education and Practices, 2021)Rural public schools face many challenges and are severely under-resourced. Students are eager to learn and parents see schools as a means for upward mobility for their children. However, public schools struggle due to ... -
Enumeration of plane and d-ary tree-like structures
(Annals of Mathematics and Computer Science, 2023-08-26)Trees are generalized using various approaches such as considering tree-like structures. Some of the tree-like structures are Husimi graphs, cacti and oriented cacti. These graphs have been enumerated according to number ... -

Farmer versus Researcher data collection methodologies: Understanding variations and associated trade-offs
(2019)The number of non-experts (such as farmers) participating in research activities has increased over the years, with the aim of them addressing their heterogeneous conditions. The situation has resulted in them being ... -
Finite Solvable Groups with 4-Regular Prime Graphs
(African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Master Thesis, 2013-05-23)In this research project, we seek to address the problem of deciding which nite simple graph is a prime graph of a nite group. In particular, we only focus on showing which 4-regular graphs can be prime graphs of some ... -
Fitting Time-series Models to Kisumu Rainfall Data for the Period 1961-2014
