Modelling a hierarchical system with multiple absorbing states
(2007)
Previous studies on the education system, which is hierarchical in nature, made use of Markov
chain transition models, comprising a single absorbing state. This work considers a Markov
chain transition model consisting ...
Analytical and numerical solution for the shock tube problem
(2007)
This report treats the development of a shocktube problem for the simulation of flow
1
described by the one dimensional Euler equations. The shock tube problem is an example of
Riemann problem and is a very useful test ...
Characterization of Glossina pallidipes midgut proteins as vaccine candidate(s) for Human African Trypanosomosis
(2007)
There are currently no vaccines available against trypanosomosis and
vector management as an option has problems with sustainability. Anti-vector
and transmission blocking vaccine development is thus a novel strategy ...
Physico-electrochemical assessment of pollutants in Ngong river
(2007)
In this thesis, the quality of water in Nairobi River is assessed for pollutants. Heavy
metals assessed include lead, copper, cadmium, zinc, iron, nickel and chromium.
Biochemical analyses of the water which entailed ...
Assessment of quality assurance compliance in the use of computed tomography machines in Kenyan hospitals
(2007)
A total of eighteen Computed Tomography (CT) scanners at different hospitals in Kenya were
surveyed to assess the state of quality management, image quality and patient dose. This study
was conducted between the months ...
Photocatalytic oxidation of phenol using titanium dioxide thin films prepared by electrophoretic deposition (EPD)
(2007)
In this study, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique was used to deposit Ti02 thin film on a
conducting glass substrate for use in water purification from organic contaminants. The deposition
parameters such as the ...
Application of Principalcomponent analysis to Secondary schools examination results in kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2007)
In this project I have adopted Principal Component Analysis (peA) as data driven procedure, to study the performance of secondary school students through examinations results over ten years. The study ...
