Effect of CD4+ T-Cells and CD8+ T-Cells on Psoriasis: a mathematical study
(Strathmore University, 2015)Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that is differentiated by repeated occurrences of raised scaly and red skin plaques. It is generated through several applications of drugs, strains, physical wounds ... -
Language practices involving two languages among trilingual undergraduate students of Mathematics
(Strathmore University, 2015)This paper presents language practices of some trilingual undergraduate students of mathematics as they engaged with a mathematics task. The paper draws from a larger study that was recently completed. The aim in this paper ... -
Mathematical modelling of The East Africa Marine Systems (TEAMS) fiber optic
(Strathmore University, 2015)The concept of high bandwidth capabilities and low attenuation characteristics make it ideal for gigabit data transmission possible because light energy can be modelled in a wave. Mathematics and communication plays an ... -
Eigenvalue approach to the solution of generalized thermoelastic interactions in an infinite body with cylindrical cavity
(Strathmore University, 2015)A generalized thermoelastic problem with temperature- dependent modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity has been considered in an infinite medium with a cylindrical cavity. After applying Laplace-transformation the ... -
Boundary element method for solving high frequency scattering problems for obstacles with no corners
(Strathmore University, 2015)We consider scattering of a time-harmonic acoustic incident plane wave by a sound soft smooth object with Lipschitz boundary. The application of conventional boundary or finite element methods, have computational cost that ... -
Cocycle of multifunctions
(Strathmore University, 2015)In this paper we introduce cocycles of multifunctions, and we study the concept of attractors for them by using of semibornologies. We de_ne a kind of conjugate relation on them, and we show that a conjugacy takes an ... -
Renewable energy biodiesel: a mathematical approach from ecology to production
(Strathmore University, 2015)Biodiesel is one of promising renewable energy source and used as an alternative of conventional hydrocarbon fuels. Jatropha curcas plant oil (JCPO) is the most cost effective sources of biodiesel. The plant can be cultivated ... -
On collaboration: an important skill for Mathematics educators for the 21st century
(Strathmore University, 2015)Mathematics, problem solving, and critical-thinking are key skills to innovation. Not only does the 21st century workforce require mathematics skills for success in everyday life but also for scientific advancement and ... -
The Science behind a flipped classroom
(Strathmore University, 2015)When first asked to teach a flipped classroom, I was excited and apprehensive at the same time. I knew I always wanted to try it but I wasn’t sure what the best practices were nor which parts of the class should be flipped ... -
On the zero divisor graphs of Galois rings
(Strathmore University, 2015)Let R be a Galois ring. The subset of zero divisors of R is studied with specific emphasis on the graph theoretical properties. The zero divisor graphs determined by equivalence classes of the zero divisors of the ring are ...
