Responses of ecosystem carbon dioxide fluxes to soil moisture fluctuations in a moist Kenyan savanna
(Cambridge University Press, 2010-11-01)Measurements were conducted within a fence-exclosure between February 2008 and July 2009 to investigate the influence of soil moisture on ecosystem CO₂ fluxes in a Themeda triandra-dominated grassland of a humid Kenyan ... -
Aspects of (pq) summing multipliers
(Vdm verlag Dr. Muller aktiengeselischaft & co. kg., 2010)A sequence (uj)j2N of operators in L(X; Y ) is a (p; q)-summing multi- plier (or (p; q)-summing sequence of operators), in short (uj) 2 `¼p;q (X; Y ), if there exists a constant C > 0 such that, for any ¯nite collection ... -
Carbon dioxide exchange and biomass productivity of the herbaceous layer of a managed tropical humid savanna ecosystem in western Kenya
(Oxford University Press, 2013-08-01)Aims Humid savannas, as a result of high precipitation amounts, are highly productive. They are also hotspots for land use change and potential sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) due to the large soil carbon (C) stocks. ... -
Orthogonality of elementary operators in normed spaces and their applications
(SAMSA 2012 mathematics conference proceedings, 2012-11)Malaria is a major public health concern, especially among pregnant women and children under the age of five. It is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Malawi, accounting for fourty percent of out-patient ... -
Deficiency indices and spectrum of fourth order difference equations with unbounded coefficients
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2013-03)Using subspace theory together with appropriate smoothness and decay conditions, we calculated the deficiency indices and absolutely continuous spectrum of fourth order difference equations with unbounded coefficients. In ... -
EFFECTS OF MARKET CHALLENGER STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE OF VERNACULAR RADIO BROADCASTING FIRMS IN WESTERN KENYA
(ijecm, 2018-09-09)In Kenya, Radio broadcasting firms have played positive roles in the development of democracy. In 2015 51% of Kenyans listened to radio as their main source of entertainment, beating any other medium. However, there has ... -
On the norm of elementary operator
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-07-07)The norm of an elementary operator has been studied by many mathematicians. Varied results have been established especially on the lower bound of this norm. Here, we attempt the same problem for finite dimensional operators. -
On the Numerical Range of a Generalized Derivation
(HIKARI Ltd,, 2017)We examine the relationship between the numerical range of the restriction of a generalized derivation to a norm ideal J and that of its implementing elements. Mathematics Subject Classi cation: 47A12; 47B47 -
On the maximal numerical range of elementary operators
(Academic Publications, Ltd., 2017-02)The notion of the numerical range has been generalized in different directions. One such direction, is the maximal numerical range introduced by Stampfli (1970) to derive an identity for the norm of a derivation on L(H). ... -
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 ... -
On Numerical Range of Multiplication Operator
(International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2019)Let H be an in nite dimensional complex Hilbert space and A;B 2 B(H) where B(H) is the C -algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. Let MAB : B(H) ! B(H) be a multiplication operator induced by A and B de- ned ... -
