A study of effective rainfall for crop production
(1982)
The agricultural potential of marginal rainfall areas
is very much dependent on the intensity, distribution and
duration of the rains, which in dry regions are very variable
between years, seasons and even within a ...
Climatological probability forecasting of rainfall in Kenya
(2003)
Climate variability has significant impact on performance of the economy of a country
especially in a developing country like Kenya. Certain sectors of the economy like

Support vector machines: A Critical empirical evaluation
(2003)
The main focus of this thesis is Support Vector Xlachines (8\-:'1s). In particular,
we first investigate empirically whether they live up to the claims made, i.e.
they suffer less from class imbalances, noise and ...
Two-stage group screening-designs with unequal probabilities
(2006)
The purpose of screening is to reduce a large set of explanatory variables or factors
to the set of important variables, assuming that there are only a few really important
explanatory variables. In this study, the formula ...
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 ...
Heavy metal concentration in Kenyan lakes
(1981)
The concentrations of manganese, copper, zinc,
cadmium, mercury and lead were determined in filtered
water, sediment, suspended particulate matter and
plant material from seven of the Kenyan lakes using
Atomic Absorption ...
