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
(PLOS Neglected Tropical Disease, 2011-07-05)Background: To date, there has been no standardized approach to the assessment of aerobic fitness among children who harbor parasites. In quantifying the disability associated with individual or multiple chronic infections, ... -
MHC-Ig Dimers: The next Frontier in Transplantation Immunology
(International Journal of Biomedical Research, 2015-09)Organ transplantation offers hope to a variety of patients with terminal functioning organs and tissues. This is currently made possible by administration of general immunosuppressive drugs. To date, inducing tolerance to ... -

(International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2017-08-30)The rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has brought about significant changes in the practice of e-learning globally. In recent years, there has been an increasing adoption of Learning Management ... -
A Model for Mapping Graduates’ Skills to Industry Roles
(Multidisciplinary Journal of Technical University of Mombasa, 2023-01)This paper presents a machine learning architecture of a hierarchical model for mapping skills to industry roles. Currently, researchers have been approaching the problem of selecting industry roles for potential employees ... -
Modeling a Competence-based Industry Role Selection System for University Graduates Using Machine Learning
(Multidisciplinary Journal of Technical University of Mombasa, 2020-11)This paper presents a design of a system for industry role selection, representing both its structure and behavior. Knowing the right industry role that suits a graduate based on their competences on graduation has remained ... -
Modeling Damping for a Loaded Spring in an Acoustic Liquid Media
(Engineering International, 2016)Free vibrating motion can take place in an acoustic media. This motion can be steady hence have constant periodic variations or unsteady and thus experience light damping or heavy damping. We give a modeled analysis of ... -
Modeling of Petroleum Prices in Kenya Using Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average and Vector Autoregressive Models
(2021)The demand for crude oil and petroleum products in Kenya has been increasing very fast over the past twenty years. This is mainly because this particular commodity is used in many sectors of the country’s economy. ... -
Modelling Turbulence Using the Staggered Grid and Simplec Method
(International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology, 2020-05)In a natural convection, local density differences and a resulting pressure gradient accelerate the fluid. In this paper a numerical study of a turbulent, natural convection problem is performed with an incompressible ... -
The Moderating Effect of Organizational Climate on the Relationship Between Performance Management Initiatives and Service Delivery in State Corporations in Kenya
(science Publishing Group., 2021-05-14)A positive organisational climate is a precursor for employee commitment and performance in organizations. Efficient service delivery necessitates that state corporations in Kenya establish performance management initiatives ... -
Modulation of Aflatoxin Production by Interaction of Aspergillus Species from Eastern Kenya
(IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology, 2019-04-13): Aflatoxin contamination of grain has continued to pose a significant threat to sustainable food security and trade worldwide. In the field, there are incidences of varying contamination levels in grain within the same ... -
