Bühlmann Credibility Approach to Systematic Mortality Risk Modeling for Sub-saharan Africa Populations (Kenya)
(University of Nairobi, 2022)
The classical mortality models such as the Cairns-Blake-Dowd (CBD), Lee-Carter (LC), Linear Regression (LR) models are used to model Systematic Mortality Risk (SMR) for many developed countries populations for actuarial ...
On Unitary Quasi-equivalence of Operators
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
In this paper we investigate unitary quasi-equivalence of operators in Hilbert spaces. We characterize operators that are unitarily quasi-equivalent. We also investigate equivalence relations closely related to unitary ...
Transgenic Expression of Dsrna Targeting the Pentalonia Nigronervosa Acetylcholinesterase Gene in Banana and Plantain Reduces Aphid Populations
(University of Nairobi, 2021)
The banana aphid, Pentalonia nigronervosa, is the sole insect vector of banana bunchy top
virus (BBTV), the causal agent of banana bunchy top disease. The aphid acquires and transmits
BBTV while feeding on infected banana ...
Variation in Morphological and Agronomic Traits of Selected African Eggplant Accessions
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
The African eggplant is an important indigenous
vegetable crop in Africa. However, there is
limited information on variations among the
wild species that could potentially act as a source
for crop improvement. A study ...
Effect of Water Stress on Growth and Yield Components of Selected Spider Plant Accessions
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
Spider plant (Cleome gynandra L.) is one of
the most popular underutilized African
Indigenous Vegetables due to its known
nutritional and health benefits. Currently, little
information is available on its adaptability ...
