• #### Evidence-based technology to enhance mathematics education from Iceland to Kenya ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Enhancing the mathematics classroom using computerised drills for homework is shown to provide considerable benefits for student learning in diverse regions, from high-tech westerns classrooms to those with neither Internet ...
• #### Modeling of SME credit ratings using non-homogenous backward semi- Markovian approach ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
This study seeks to understand the transition dynamics of credit ratings for Small and Medium Enterprises in Kenya using a non-homogenous backward Semi-Markov approach. In modeling credit risk, this approach takes into ...
• #### Risk measures and portfolio optimization in the Kenyan stock market ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
This study seeks to establish optimal stock portfolios to be held by investors in The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) from 1998 – 2016 using the Mean Variance and Threshold Accepting optimization mod- els.A comparison ...
• #### An Empirical performances comparison of meta-heuristic algorithms for school bus routing problem ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
School Bus Routing Problem is an NP-hard Combinatorial Optimization problem, and hence solving the School Bus Routing Problem, requires the application of one or more of the metaheuristic algorithms. This work presents a ...
• #### Statistical techniques for characterizing cloud workloads: a survey ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Cloud computing infrastructure is becoming indispensable in modern IT. Understanding the behavior and resource demands of cloud application workloads is key in data center capacity planning, cloud infrastructure testing, ...
• #### The Squares of numbers using Komozian series ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
In this paper we have determined the squares of numbers using the Komozian series. The method has established series which analyses the digits present in a given number and sets priority for every digit depending on its ...
• #### Rational homotopy type of the component of inclusion in the nthspace of continuous mappings from Gr (k, n) to Gr(k, n + 1) ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
A complex manifold can be embedded in some complex projective space CP (N ), in particular, the Grassmann manifold Gr(n, k) of k dimensional subspaces in Cn can bembedded in some complex projective space CP (N ).Moreover ...
• #### Certain properties of the essential spectra in Banach spaces ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Let X be an arbitrary Banach space, and L (X) be the set of all bounded linear operators on X. We apply closed range theorem to determine some duality properties of the essential spectrum on L(X). Specifically, we introduce ...
• #### Finite rings with homocyclic $p-$groups as Sylow $p$-subgroups of the group of units ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
In 1960, Laszlo Fuchs posed, among other problems, the following: characterize the groups which are the groups of all units in a commutative and associative ring with identity. Though this problem still remains open, ...
• #### On joint essential maximal numerical ranges ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
The study of numerical range of an operator has been an area of intense research. The motivation for the development arose from the classical theory of quadratic forms. It forms a very important aspect in functional analysis, ...
• #### On a-self-adjoint, a-unitary opeators and quasiaffinities ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
In this paper, we investigate properties of A-self adjoint operators and other relations on Hilbert spaces. In this context, A is a self-adjoint and an invertible operator. More results on operator equivalences including ...
• #### On the Banach algebra numerical range ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Let A denote a unital Banach algebra and SA denote its unit sphere. It was proved by F. F. Bonsall and J. Duncan that when the Banach algebra is unital, the algebra numerical range is identical to a subset of itself. Basing ...
• #### GDD (n1, n, n + 1, 4; λ1, λ2) for n1 = 1 or 2 ﻿

The main subject matter for this paper is GDDs with three groups of sizes 1, n, (n≥ 2) and n + 1, respectively, and block size four. A block has Configuration (1, 1, 2), means the block has the point from the group of size ...
• #### Metric equivalence as an almost similarity property ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
Various results that relate to almost similarity and other classes of operators such as isometry, normal, unitary and compact operators have been extensively discussed. It has been shown that if operators S and T are ...
• #### Matrix completion problem ﻿

(Strathmore University, 2017)
A real n  n matrix is a nonnegative P0-matrix if its principal minors are nonnegative and all its entriesare nonnegative. A digraph D is said to have nonnegative P0-matrix completion if every partial nonnegative P0-matrix ...
