Maternal levels of alpha-fetoprotein in African women.
(East African medical journal, 1991-08)In a prospective and cross-sectional study, 147 serum samples from normal antenatal indigenous Kenyan women were analysed for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) concentrations between 8 and 28 weeks gestation. There was progressive ... -
Maternal psychological distress and appraisal of parenting experience predict social-emotional development of Kenyan infants
(Routledge, 2018-08-03)This study investigated whether higher maternal psychological distress, lower provision of psychosocial stimulation and a negative appraisal of parenting experience were associated with lower cognitive, motor, social-emotional ... -
Maternal Vitamin D Status and Adverse Birth Outcomes in Children from Rural Western Kenya
(MDPI, 2016)Maternal plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status and its association with pregnancy outcomes in malaria holoendemic regions of sub-Saharan Africa is poorly defined. We examined this association and any potential ... -
Mathematical analysis of tip speed ratio of a wind turbine and its effects on power coefficient
(2014)In this paper we estimate the value of tip speed ratio of a wind turbine and evaluate its effects on power coefficient. The power coefficient, Cp, is achieved at a particular tip speed ratio, β, which is specific to the ... -
MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECT OF NUMBER OF BRANCHES ON WATER HAMMER
(Pushpa Publishing House, 2013-10-01)This paper looks at water hammer with an emphasis on the number of branches. The mathematics of water hammer are described in a transient condition. This includes the momentum and continuity equations for conduits. A ... -
Mathematical model for non-linear stock price adjustment
(Maseno university, 2010)The field of financial mathematics has drawn a lot of interest from both practitioners and academicians since the derivation of Black- Scholes model of 1970s. :Ihe celebrated option pricing formula, the so-called Black- ... -
Mathematical Model for Pneumonia Dynamics with Carriers
(2013)There are major advances which have been made to understand the epidemiology of infectious diseases. However, more than 2 million children in the developing countries still die from pneumonia each year. The efforts to ... -
A mathematical model for the optimal control Of trypanosomiasis in a cattle population
(Maseno University, 2015)Trypanosomiasis is a debilitating disease which is a major constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. It leads to loss of productivity in animals and without treatment it is frequently fatal. The economic ... -
Mathematical Model Incorporating Screening of Immigrants as A Control Against The Spread of Ebola
(Maseno University, 2017)Ebola Disease Outbreak (EVD) is an acute and often fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees). The disease is caused by infection with a virus of the family of Filoviridae, genus ... -

Mathematical model of pneumonia and HIV/AIDS coinfection in the presence of protection
(2015)In this paper, a deterministic co-infection model incorporating protection from infection for both pneumonia infection and HIV/AIDS is considered. The model is shown to be positively invariant as well as bounded. Specifically ... -
Mathematical Model of the Roan Antelopes, Ruma Park
(Maseno University, 2011)Roan antelopes that were once abundant in the country in the 1880s have been reduced to a remnant population of less than fifty individuals in the last estimate,November 2009. Oksendal and Lungu developed population growth ... -
Mathematical model of variable speed pitch regulated turbine in a wind energy conversion system
(2014)Pitch control of wind turbine in a wind energy conversion system involves the change of the rotor blade pitch angle along the rotor axis. Most compa-nies are faced with the challenge of maintaining a steady and optimal ... -
