Match Analysis of HIV/AIDS Model With Reference to Kenya
(Maseno University, 2011)Epidemiology models are used to combine complex data from various sources in order to study equally complex outcomes. The first simple HIV/AIDS epidemic model was by Anderson in 1986. Since then a lot has been done in ... -
Maternal and neonatal outcomes after caesarean delivery in the African Surgical Outcomes Study: a 7-day prospective observational cohort study
(Elsevier, 2019-04-01)Background Maternal and neonatal mortality is high in Africa, but few large, prospective studies have been done to investigate the risk factors associated with these poor maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods A 7-day, ... -

(Elsevier, 2019-04-01)Maternal and neonatal mortality is high in Africa, but few large, prospective studies have been done to investigate the risk factors associated with these poor maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods A 7-day, international, ... -
Maternal demographic, economic and health factors Influencing child health services uptake in Nyando sub-county, Kisumu county, Kenya.
(Maseno University, 2016)Improving the wellbeing of children through uptake of child health services is an important public health goal for Kenya. It determines the health of the next generation and can predict future public health challenges ... -
Maternal Factors Influencing Under-five Mortality in Karemo Sub-county in Siaya County, Kenya
(Research Square, 2023-03)Background Despite the substantial reduction of under-five mortality (U5M) across the world, about 15,000 under-fives (U5s) die daily. Majority occurs in developing countries with Sub-Saharan African countries like Kenya ... -
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
