A grapheme-based approach for accent restoration in Gıkuyu
(02-07-13)The orthography of G˜ık˜uy˜u includes a number of accented characters to represent the entire vowel system. These characters are however not readily available on standard computer keyboards and are usually represented as ... -
Developing a genetic classification for gene pool management of spotted gums
(02-07-13)Spotted gums (Genus Corymbia Section Politaria) occur as a species replacement series along the eastern seaboard of Australia, their distributions marked by regions of disjunction and sympatry. Their taxonomy remains ... -
Unsupervised induction of Dholuo word classes using maximum entropy learning
(02-07-13)This paper describes a proof-of-the-principle experiment in which maximum entropy learning is used for the automatic induction of word classes for the Western Nilotic language of Dholuo. The proposed approach extracts ... -
ZnO:Sn deposition by reactive evaporation: Effects of Sn doping on the electrical and optical properties
(02-07-13)Tin doped zinc oxide thin films were deposited by reactive evaporation under various tin doping levels ranging from 1% to 8%. The deposition was done using Edwards Auto 306 coating unit at room temperature (25°C) and 5.0 ... -
Linear Estimation Of Standard Deviation Of Logistic Distribution: Theory And Algorithm
(06-07-13)The paper presents a theoretical method based on order statistics and a FORTRAN program for computing the variance and relative efficiencies of the standard deviation of the logistic population with respect to the Cramer-Rao ... -
Use Of Polynomial Fit To Predict Seasonal Rainfall In Nairobi, Kenya
(06-07-13)In investigating Kenya rainfall variability and its relationship to other climatic elements it has become imperative to analyze the irregularly distributed rainfall events in time. To meet this requirement, this study used ... -
Modeling a Hierarchical System with a Single Absorbing State
(06-07-13)The paper describes a Markov Chain transition model in which students in an education system, be they graduates or dropouts, are grouped together into a single absorbing state. -

Application Of Sperner’s Lemma In Fair Division
(23-06-13)In this paper, we describe the approximate envy-free division using a mathematical technique from "game theory"; with help of Sperner’s lemma. The examples of land distribution in families and other heterogeneous resources ... -
Electromagnetic Tensor Field Of First And Second Class
(23-06-13)The author and R.S. Mishra established the identities in Nijenhuis tensor for first, second and third class of electromagnetic tensor fields. The identities for first class were non zero. In this paper I have obtained the ... -
Time-series modeling of returns from the NSE 20-share index: An empirical study of the impact of political climate on market volatility
(24-06-13)A time series analysis of the Nairobi Stock Exchange (NSE) 20-Share index from January 1998 to March 2007 is provided. A comparison of the daily rates of return and volatilities for periods immediately preceding and following ... -

Curvature tensors' and their relativistic significance
(1970)In this paper we have defined the Curvature tensor and elaborated its various physical and geometric properties. -
Curvature tensors and their relativistic significance (II)
(1970)In this paper we have defined the curvature tensors and their properties are studied. -
