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 ... -
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 ... -
Using Markov Chains to Estimate the Cost Effect of Free Primary Education in Kenya
(2013)In the year 2003 the Kenyan government changed its education policy from cost sharing to free and compulsory primary education. As a result there was an influx of pupils into public primary schools. This policy therefore ... -
A COMPARISON OF THE CLASSICAL BLACK-SCHOLES MODEL AND THE GARCH OPTION PRICING MODEL FOR CURRENCY OPTIONS
(Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science; Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & TechnologySchool of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2008)This paper looks at the consequences of introducing heteroscedasticity in option pricing. The analysis shows that introducing heteroscedasticity results in a better fitting of the empirical distribution of foreign exchange ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
Mathematical Models For Human And Baboon Brain Parameters
(2013)In this paper linear measurements from ten human and ten baboon brains were used to predict various values for human and baboon brain and body parameters, through multiple regression models. Inter-species values were also ... -
Curvature tensors and their relativistic significance (II)
(1970)In this paper we have defined the curvature tensors and their properties are studied. -
Curvature tensors' and their relativistic significance
(1970)In this paper we have defined the Curvature tensor and elaborated its various physical and geometric properties. -
Genetic Variation in Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Acari: Ixodidae) Populations in Kenya, Assessed by two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
(2013)The study of protein variation is an indirect, relatively inexpensive approach to genetic analysis. In this study, the protein profiles of two distinct populations of the brown ear tick (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus) ... -
