A Comparative analysis of the performance of flood frequency distributions in the Lake Victoria Basin in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2006)
Floods have always been a major national as well as societal concern. Despite the fascinating
achievements of science and technology in the 21stcentury, floods continue to hit every
generation of human beings, bringing ...
Magnetohydrodynamic steady incompressible fluid flow between two infinite parallel porous plate
(2006)
A highly magnetized steady incompressible fluid flowing between two infinite parallel
porous plates under the influence of transverse magnetic field has been studied.
The Euler's equation of motion ,the Navier - Stokes ...
Classification problems in Dorfrnan-Sterrett group-screening designs
(2006)
This thesis is a study on the Dorfman-Sterrett group-screening designs assuming equal
a-prior probabilities of items being defective. Based on a clear theoretical framework,
we have studied both restricted and unrestricted ...
Spatial analysis of tree species occurrence: an example of Mount Kenya region
(2006)
Ecologists often seek to predict species distributions of environmental
variables. Statistical models are useful for making predictions about occurrence of
species based on the variables derived from remote sensing or ...
Hydrogeological study of the area north of menengai crater using electrical Resistivity survey
(2006)
An integrated study involving geophysical, geological and hydrogeological investigation was
undertaken to determine groundwater potential in the areas north of Menengai Crater. Rocks
exposed in the study area represent ...
Influence of major competitors on the abundance and distribution of cheetahs in Maasai Mara national reserve
(2006)
Over the years the cheetah population in Masai Mara National Reserve has declined and
this has been attributed to several factors. Key among them is the influence of other
predators like lions. leopards and hyenas, who ...
Effect of edible basidiomycete fruit body extracts on induced liver tumour in mice
(2006)
Cancer is associated with uncontrolled cell growth in tissues and organs and can either be
localized or spread to other organs. Hepatocellular carcinoma results when these cells are
localized in the liver and it's widely ...
Joint modelling of time to event and repeated measurement of eucalyptus tree species in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2006-08)
The characterization of the relationship between a longitudinal response process
and a time-to-event has been a pressing challenge in biostatistical research. This
has emerged as an important issue especially in genetic ...
Optimal designs for models with covariates
(2006)
The model refers to a treatment design with one treatment at v levels and first
Order regression on K continuous covariates attached to each experimental unit. The
Problem is that of constructing optimal completely ...
Diagnostics and predictability of east African rainfall with tropospheric circulation parameters
(2006)
Rainfall is one of the weather and climate parameters that is highly variable in time
and space with extremes sometimes manifested as excessive rainfall or floods and severe
rainfall deficits or droughts. The national ...
