Markets and Gender Interaction in Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation: A Case of the Coastal Kenya Sedentary Farm Households’ Experiences
(Journal of Environment and Earth Science, 2014)Climate change is a global concern which manifests on a multilevel perspective and sometimes distinct or nested within some geographical boundaries. At the sedentary farm household systems climate change is real and continues ... -
Mathematical description of a bounded oil reservoir with a horizontal well
(Afr. J. Pur e Appl. Sci, 2021-01-29)Horizontal wells are more productive compared to vertical wells if their performance is optimized. For a completely bounded oil reservoir, immediately the well is put into production, the boundaries of the oil reservoir ... -
A Mathematical Model for Pressure Distribution in a Bounded Oil Reservoir Subject to Single-Edged and Bottom Constant Pressure
(IOSR Journal of Mathematics, 2020-07)Well test analysis of a horizontal well is complex and difficult to interpret. Most horizontal well mathematical models assume that horizontal wells are perfectly horizontal and are parallel to the top and bottom ... -
Measuring Fitness of Kenyan Children with Polyparasitic Infections Using the 20-Meter Shuttle Run Test as a Morbidity Metric
