Integrating language and sacred knowledge in conservation of indigenous trees in Siaya County
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
This is a descriptive survey of sacred places and trees considered the sources of powerful forces, energy and wisdom within the lake region of Kenya. Sacred landscapes are maintained through the practice of religious ...
Norms and numerical radii inequalities for ( , ) - normal transaloid operators
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
The studies on Hilbert spaces for the last decade has been of great interest to many mathematicians and researchers, especially on operator inequalities related to operator norms and numerical radii for a family of bounded ...
An analysis of the phenomenon Ime y’omwana movement in Kenyenya sub-county, Kisii County, Kenya
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
The bewildering explosion of new religious movements in Africa forms a tremendous increase in number of splinter groups in Christianity. In this paper, we give an analysis of a phenomenon ImeY’omwana movement in
Kenyenya ...
Language as repository in the preservation of biodiversity: an ecolinguistic perspective
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
The current rapid global climatic change has caused a drastic reduction in the biodiversity. Habitats previously occupied by plants and animals are fast being encroached by human populations. But even more worrying are the ...
Analysis and prediction of battery operating state in Kenyan solar home systems
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
Solar power is a valuable source of electrical energy for users in the developing countries, yet many solar home systems are working at indeterminate conditions, much to the dissatisfaction of the users. Lead acid batteries ...
On norm preserving conditions for local automorphisms of commutative banach algebras
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
The history of commutative algebra first appeared in 1890 by David Hilbert which was then followed by Banach spaces in 1924 since localization reduces many problems of geometric special case into commutative algebra problems ...
Norms of derivation associated with idempotents and unitary operators
(6/24/2015)
The study of operators has continued to attract the attention of many researchers. Of special interest are the calculations of norms of these operators. Johnson Stampfli wrote a paper on the norms of derivation on algebra ...
On shift of mindset: the importance of change of mindset in helping students get better at getting better in mathematics
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
That mathematics is important in enhancing creativity, innovativeness and technological development is undisputable. Kenya like any other African country is endowed with reach human resource yet lesscompetitive ...
On numerical radius attainability for normal self-adjoint operators
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
The numerical range and numerical radius are very useful in studying linear operators acting on Hilbert spaces. The operators include normal, hyponormal, normaloid, transaloid, self-adjoint, subnormal, compact and unitary. ...
Norm estimates for convexoid operators
(JOOUST, 6/24/2015)
Hilbert space operators are important in formulation of principles of quantum mechanics and also in other fields of applied sciences. These operators include normal operators, hyponormal operators, normaloid operators, ...
