The national government affirmative action fund and youth Employability: a comparative study of Homa Bay and Kisumu Counties, 2017-2022
(Maseno University, 2023)The global youth demographic bulge presents a pressing challenge that requires strategic public policy interventions. Projections indicate that the current youth population, as defined by the United Nations, will increase ... -
The natural pyrethrins and carotenoid pigments
(University of Nottingham, 1983)The thesis describes the chemistry of some commercial natural products obtained from plants indigenous to Kenya. The natural products are the insecticidal 'pyrethrins' obtained from flower heads of Chrysanthemum ... -
Naturally acquired immunity to Plasmodium Falciparum Antigens in Children less than four Years of age in a Malaria Holoendemic Region of Western Kenya
(Maseno University, 2003)The mechanism of age-dependent acquisition of immunity to P. Jalciparum in malaria endemic areas is less clear. Understanding how immunity is acquired with age in humans requires a rational design and development of ... -
The Nature of Dholuo Consonant Harmony
(Maseno University, 2017)Consonant harmony is complex phonological process which requires a theory-informed descriptive analysis to determine its occurrence patterns. Consonant harmony has previously been studied as an assimilatory process that ... -

Network Modelling of Infectious Diseases
(Maseno University, 2014)Mathematical modelling of infectious diseases is an important tool for assessing disease dynamics. This branch of mathematics has provided many significant insights concerning the epidemiology of infectious diseases. ... -
Ngero as a social object
(University of Nairobi, 1978)This is a study of the art of rig r no v/hich is a genre of Luo oral literature. The terra ncoro is in the singular. Like1 some Luo words whose singulars end in ro, the two let tors are replaced by che in the plural ... -
Non-parametric regression estimation of a finite Population total in the presence of Heteroscedasticity
(Maseno university, 2010)Non parametric regression provides computationally intensive estimation.of unknown finite population quantities. Such estimation is usually more flexible and robust than inferences tied to design - probabilities (in ... -
Norms of elementary operators
(Maseno University, 2015)Properties of elementary operators have been investigated in the recent past under a variety of aspects. Their norms have been a subject of interest for research in operator theory. Specifically, deriving a formula to ... -

Norms of elementary operators.
(Maseno university, 2010)The norm of an elementary operator has been investigated over long period by several mathematician under various special circumstances. Timoney working on algebra of bounded linear operators on Hilbert spaces, established ... -
Norms of generalized derivations on norm ideals
(Maseno University, 2019)The norms of inner and generalized derivations on different kinds of algebras have been determined. However, the norms of their restrictions to norm ideals have not been fully explored. For instance, the concept of ... -
Norms of tensor products and elementary Operators
(Maseno university, 2009)In this thesis, we determine the norm of a two-sided symmetric operator in an algebra. More precisely, .we investigate the lower bound of the operator using the injective tensor norm. Further, we determine the norm of ... -

(2007)In this paper we study the e ects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) uid ow on a two dimensional boundary layer ow of a steady free convection heat and mass transfer on an inclined plate in which the angle of inclination ... -
Numerical solution of Korteweg-de vries equation
(Maseno university, 2008)The Kotteweg-de Vrr-es(KdV)is a mathematical model of waves on shallow water surfaces. The mathematical theory behind the KdV equation is rich and interesting, and, in the broad sense, is a topic of active mathematical ... -
Numerical Solutions of Burgers Equation Using Hybrid Methods
(Maseno University, 2016)Research on Burgers equation: u_t + 〖uu〗_x = 〖αu〗_xx which is a second order nonlinear partial differential equation is gaining interest for its application and mathematics itself. It arises in model studies of turbulence ... -
Nurses’ knowledge related to pain assessment for critically ill patients at a public sector Hospital in Johannesburg
(University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2014)Discrepancies exist between how pain is assessed in ICU patients able and unable to self report. There are pain assessment scales and guidelines that have been developed over the years for pain assessment. However, ... -
