Mathematics of Pesticide Adsorption in a Porous Medium: Convective-Dispersive Transport with steady state water flow In two Dimension
(Maseno university, 2007)
The transport of solutes through porous media where chemicals undergo adsorption or
change process on the surface of the porous materials has been a subject of research over
years. Usage of pesticides has resulted in ...
Numerical solution of Korteweg-de vries equation
(Maseno university, 2008)
The Kotteweg-de Vrr-es(KdV)is a mathematical model of waves on shallow
water surfaces. The mathematical theory behind the KdV equation
is rich and interesting, and, in the broad sense, is a topic of active mathematical ...
On a generalized q-numerical Range
(Maseno university, 2008)
We 'consider numerical ranges of a bounded linear operator on complex
Hilbert spaces. Many properties of the classical numerical range are
known. We investigate the properties of the q-numerical range in relation
to ...
The effect of imazapyr - resistant maize (Zea mays L.) plant density under bean intercrop on witchweed (Striga hermonthiea (Del.) Benth), maize and bean yield
(Maseno university, 2009)
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in East Africa serving both as a
staple food and cash crop to millions of people. As a vegetable, it is produced either as
green maize cobs, sweet com or baby com. ...
Effects of multiple treatments and reinfections on the Levels of schistosome specific antibody isotypes in Occupationally exposed individuals in western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2009)
Previous studies have demonstrated that treatment of schistosome infection in people
from endemic areas results in significant alterations of their parasite specific humoral responses.
However, these responses have not ...
The functional associations between il-4 -589t/c and Il-6 -636g/c promoter polymorphisms and paediatric Severe malarial anaemia in a holoendemic area of Western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2009)
Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent and lethal human malaria parasite, IS
responsible for most malaria-related morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. It
manifests mainly as severe malarial anaemia (SMA) in ...
Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of salmonella Isolated from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ni/otics, L.) Along lake Victoria beaches in western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2009)
Enteritis induced by nontyphoidal Salmonella represents major economic and social
problems. Chemotherapeutic selection may have additional consequences for
virulence evolution through acquisition of linked virulence ...
Use of conventional and molecular techniques to Determine the prey alence of shigella and Enteroinv asive escherichia coli strains from Diarrhoea patients in selected health facilities in Rural western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2009)
Diarrhoea is a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. It accounts for
1.6- 2.5 million deaths annually and each child in the developing world experiences an
average of three episodes of diarrhoea per ...
Binding of opsonized immune complexes to Erythrocyte crlicd35 inhibits TNF-a production by restricting immune complex uptake by macro phages
(Maseno university, 2008)
Previous studies have shown that children suffering from severe malaria have elevated
concentrations of TNF-a, increased levels of circulating immune complexes (ICs) and
decreased levels of complement regulatory proteins ...
Apoptotic machinery in plasmodium falciparum Growing in a continuous culture
(Maseno university, 2009)
Apoptosis and indeed metacaspase have not been sufficiently evaluated to show their role
in Plasmodium Jalciparum. To study apoptosis, synchronized P. Jalciparum cultures were
initiated at a parasitemia of 0.5 % at 5 % ...
