Extraction of zero coupon yield curve for Nairobi securities exchange: finding the best parametric model for East African securities markets
(Science Signpost Publishing, 2015)
We seek to construct a zero coupon yield curve (ZCYC) for Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). The objective of this paper is to construct a ZCYC that is differentiable at all points and at the same time, produces continuous ...
Modeling co-infection of paediatric Malaria and Pneumonia
(Int. Journal of Math. Analysis, 2013)
Malaria and persistent childhood diseases are a major threat to child survival in the developing world. In this paper, we develop and analyse a mathematical model for paediatric malaria and pneumonia co-infection. We ...
Modeling of liver cancer risk factors and dynamics at community level
(Hikari, 2017)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant cancer of the liver arising from uncontrolled multiplication of the abnormal liver cells. It is an ignored public health condition where patients come late to the hospital at ...
Symmetry group approach to the solution of generalized burgers equation: Ut + UUx = λUxx
(2013)
Symmetry of a system of differential equations is a transformation
that maps any solution to another solution of the system. In Lie’s
framework such transformations are groups that depend on continuous
parameters and ...
Attitudes of students and teachers towards use of computer technology in Geography education
(2010)
The ability to display simulated environments through the computer may make it a stimulating instructional tool for illuminating abstract concepts in Geography. In Kenya, there is persistent lack of resources to improve ...
Numerical solution of dynamic vibration equations
(International Journal of mathematical Archive, 2011-09)
In this paper, we examine conservative autonomous dynamic vibration equation, , which is time vibration of the displacement of a structure due to the internal forces, with no damping or external ...
