Solution of the transonic integrodifferential equation using a decay function
(University of Nairobi., 1990)
The two-dimensional, small-disturbance, transonic integrodifferential equation is solved by using a decay function that is applicable in the entire computational domain rather than on the airfoil surface only. The computational ...
Impacts Of Land Cover Change Scenarios On Storm Runoff Generation: A Basis For Management Of The Nyando Basin, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
The effects of conceptual land cover change scenarios on the generation of storm runoffs were evaluated in the Nyando Basin. The spatial scenarios represented alternatives that vary between full deforestation and reforestation. ...
Classification of the Kenyan general insurance risks using copula approach
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2012)
Dependence between risks reduces the benefits of
diversification. Modem portfolio theory is based on correlation as
a measure of dependence while the criterion presented here is
based on the copula theory as a measure ...
Lake Naivasha, Kenya: Ecology, Society and Future
(Freshwater Biological Association, 2011)
We examine the degradation of the natural capital and ecosystem services of an important
tropical lake, Kenya’s Lake Naivasha, in the context of human activities and exploitation since the
mid-20th century. These factors ...
On commutants and operator equations
(2012)
Let B(H) denote the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert
Space H into itself. Given A,B ∈ B(H) define C(A,B) and R(A,B) : B(H) −→
B(H) by C(A,B)X = AX − XB and R(A,B)X = AXB − X. Our task in this
note is to ...
Fracture strength of porous ceramics: stress concentration vs minimum solid area models
(2004)
In this study, we have reviewed recently published strength-porosity data of porous
ceramics, and compared these data with those computed from both the minimum contact solid area
(MCA) and the pore stress concentration ...
Dynamics of Suspended Sediment Exchange and Transport in a Degraded Mangrove Creek in Kenya
(Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, 2002)
This study focuses on sediment exchange dynamics in
Mwache Creek, a shallow tidal mangrove wetland in
Kenya. The surface area of the creek is 17 km2
at high
water spring. The creek experiences semidiurnal tides with
tidal ...
Real exchange rate equilibrium and misalignment in kenya
(1993)
This paper
examines Real Exchange Rates (RER) misalignment in Kenya by using Johansen
Cointegration and error correction technique based on single equation and Vector
Autoregressive (VAR) specification. It was found ...
Determination of nitrate by suppressed ion chromatography after copperised-cadmium column reduction
(2004)
The nitrate-selective copperised-cadmium (Cu-Cd) reduction reaction coupled directly to the highly sensitive nitrite ion chromatographic detection, produced a more precise method for determination of nitrate than any one ...
Boundary element solution of the transonic integro-differential equation
(University of Nairobi., 1989)
The transonic integro-differential equation for two-dimensional flows is solved by boundary element methods. In addition to constant and quadrilateral elements we develop hybrid elements based on constant elements in the ...
