(MMUST, 2024-02)The presence of contaminants such as toxic anions, heavy metals, halogenated pesticides and pharmaceuticals in various water compartments has caused environmental concern due to the toxicological effects. Conventional ... -
A CHARACTERIZATION OF CLASSES OF LINEAR TERNARY CYCLIC CODES, THEIR DESIGNS AND LATTICES
(MMUST, 2025-11)Linear cyclic ternary codes defined over the Galois field GF(3) exhibit several ad vantages over their binary counterparts. They provide an extra option for each pulse resulting into a larger set of available codes at ... -
ECOLOGY AND NUTRITIVE VALUE OF THREE ABUNDANT TERMITE SPECIES IN WESTERN KENYA FOR ENTOMOPHAGY (Isoptera: Termitidea)
(MMUST, 2023-07)Winged social insects known as termites have existed on the planet for more than 100 million years. Food insecurity is a serious endemic issue in Kenya. In Western part of the Kenya, termite alates have a long history ... -
MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF COVID-19 DYNAMICS WITH INTERVENTION
(MMUST, 2022-11)The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the severe acute respira- tory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus is primarily transmitted to humans through inhaling respiratory droplets produced by ... -
