A 2D-approach towards the detection of distress using Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)This research focuses on a novel approach of distress detection referred to as the 2D approach, using the fuzzy K-NN classification model. Unlike the traditional approach where single emotions were qualified to depict ... -
3-Group divisible designs with block size 4 and 2 groups
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)One of the main problems in design theory is to find construction methods to obtain unknown designs. In this paper we give fundamental constructions of group divisible SBS designs with block size 4 and 2 groups. We give ... -
Accelerated circularity of consumer electronics using Block Chain and Optimized Machine Learning Algorithms
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)At the heart of our economy lies a linear take, make, dispose model, relying on consuming big amounts of finite products and fossil fuels. The challenge of consumer electronic waste is colossal, and is continuously ... -
AIDS-related Kaposis sarcoma pathogenesis
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Kaposis sarcoma (KS), the most common tumor associated with human immunodeficiency virus- I (HIV-I) and human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) (also referred to as Kaposis associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection, develops in ... -
Anti-N-Order Polynomial Daugavet Property on Banach Spaces
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)We generalize the notion of the anti-Daugavet property (a-DP) to the anti-N-order Almasi room, polynomial Daugavet property (a-NPDP) for Banach spaces. The characterization SBS of the a-NPDP is through the spectral ... -
Applied arithmetic geometry
(Strathmore University, 2019-08-12)The aim of this lecture series is to introduce some methods of arithmetic geometry which are applied in cryptographic research. Cryptography, including more sophisticated versions such as elliptic curve cryptography, ... -
An Assessment of select market timing strategies performance in Nairobi Securities Exchange
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Herding behavior among Kenyan traders in the capital markets has been majorly attributed to low levels of income and lack of knowledge in trading principles. This focus of this study was on the latter challenge. The study ... -
Beliefs of secondary school mathematics teachers about problem solving skills and instruction practices
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Problem solving Skill is for long highly considered as a skill that negotiates with the complex demand of 21st century labour market. Its importance is recognized by many countries around the world, including Rwanda. ... -
Chebyshev-like polynomials satisfying fourth-order linear recurrences: Zeros and Hankel determinants
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)We study sequences of polynomials that satisfy certain fourth-order linear recur rences with a parameter c. We show that for c real, their zeros lie on two concentric and inversely related circles. The associated ... -
Classical vs Quantum: What does the future hold for fully homomorphic encryption schemes?
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)The construction of homomorphic encryption schemes has supported arbirtrary computations on outsourced data, without revealing their true contents. Recent introduction of fully homomorphic versions has further improved ... -
A Comparative analysis of rural and urban students’ performance in an Interactive Mathematics supported classroom
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)Performance in education is a key characteristic of effective teaching and learning SBS and a criteria which is mostly used to classify schools from the best to the least. However, it depends on different factors including ... -
A comparative evaluation of goodness-of-fit tests for the negative binomial distribution with application to RNA-Seq data
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)The negative binomial (NB) distribution is considered the most appropriate distribution for modeling over dispersed count data. In this regard, a number of goodness of-fit (GOF) tests have been applied for the NB, but ... -
Competence Based Curriculum: Sticky issues for the uptake of STEM education and STEM careers in Africa
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)In the last decade, education policy in a many African countries has shifted to SBS Competence based education. Seen to resonate with and originate from global discourses on human capital theory and the current push to ... -
Conducting and communicating classroom-close research that makes an impact
(Strathmore University, 2019)These two sessions will complement Professor Jaworskis by focusing on two strands in research on mathematics teaching and learning: >As an insider in ones own institution, whether school, college or university ... -
Conservation laws and exact solutions of a generalized (3+1)-dimensional mKdV-ZK equation
(Strathmore University, 2019)In this talk we investigate conservation laws and exact solutions of a generalized SBS (3+1)-dimensional mKdV-ZK equation that describes the behavior of weakly nonlinear ion-acoustic waves contained in magnetized ... -
Content pricing in mobile social network: a collective bidding approach
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)As smart mobile devices and phones become more ubiquitous and pervasive with wide array of sensors and communication techniques, we can develop mobile social network (MSN) apps that enable these devices to automatically ... -
Counting negative eigenvalues of one-dimensional Schroedinger operators with singular potentials
(Strathmore University, 2019-08)In this paper, we extend the well-known upper estimates of the Cwikel-Lieb-Rozenblum type for the number of negative eigenvalues of one-dimensional schroedinger operators with regular potentials to the case of strongly ... -
Coverage probability of a non-parametric estimator for a finite population total using edgeworth expansion
(Strathmore University, 2019)In survey sampling, the main objective is more often than not to establish information about any population parameter using the sample statistics. A nonparametric estimator of the finite population total is proposed. The ... -
Creating equitable environments through ethno-mathematics on a worldwide voyage
(Strathmore University, 2019)Ethno mathematics is a pathway to real-world problem solving that empowers locally minded, global citizens through a sense of purpose and a sense of place. Over the past decade, the Ethno mathematics and STEM Institute ... -
