Mass movements in the Aberdare catchment: a case study of the Kihuri landside
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2006)The ,problem of landsliding has been addressed in various fora in which various recommendations have been made. Despite this, the triggering of these events seems endless. The purpose of this study was to determine the ... -
Masters Of Science In Social Statistics
(University Of Nairobi, 2016)Credit business is the leading income generating activity for banks and other nancial institutions. However, it involves huge risks to both the banks and the borrowers. The risk of a trading partner not ful lling his ... -
Mathematical modelling of air pollution
(Applied Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 1989)This dissertation is a review of a number of mathematical models that have been used to model transport of pollutants. The objective of the study and some basic concepts of atmospheric pollutants are described in Chapter ... -
Mathematical and Statistical Population Models: Elephants Population Modeling

A Mathematical Model For The Control Of Malaria With Temporary Immunity
(University of NairobiSchool of mathematics,, 2013)Malaria is an infectious disease transmitted between humans through mosquito bites that kill about two million people a year. Many infectious diseases including malaria are preventable, yet they remain ... -
A Mathematical model for the dynamics of dengue virus disease transmission in Mandera County-Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2021)The aim of this project is to formulate a mathematical model for the dynamics of dengue virus disease transmission a case study of Mandera County Kenya.The compartmental model with 5-sate variables was developed to show ... -
A mathematical model for the effects of drug abuse in transmission of Hiv/aids in Turkana county.
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Drugs and substance misuse has been recognized to have a significant impact on the spread of HIV/AIDS epidemic. We formulate a deterministic model to assess the contribution of drug and substance abuse to the spread of ... -
A Mathematical Model For The Transmission Dynamics Of Influenza With Respect To Seasonal Weather Variables In Kenya
(UoN, 2019)The aim of this project is to carry out a research on the e ects of weather variables on the seasonality of in uenza. For this purpose we formulate a compartmental model to represent in uenza transmission dynamics. In ... -

Mathematical modeling of HIV and Malaria co-infection dynamics
(University of Nairobi, 2015)We formulate a mathematical mo del using system of differential equations to understand the co-dynamics of two diseases HIV and Malaria. The entire human p opulation is divided into four compartments and mosquito p ... -
Mathematical Modeling Of The Effects Of Seasonal And Environmental Factors On Endemic Malaria
(University of Nairobi, 2012-01)Malaria is a vector borne disease that has plagued mankind for long and is one of the top five killer diseases in the world. WHO estimates that about 50% of the world's total populations live in areas where malaria is ... -
Mathematical Modelling of Hiv-aids Transmission Dynamics Coupled With Awareness Among Adolescents and Young Adults in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2021)Although HIV/AIDS containment campaigns have recorded substantial success within the past decade, the disease still poses a big health concern to many developing countries, including Kenya. We develop deterministic models ... -
Mathematical modelling of the Olkaria Geothermal Reservoir
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 1996)The basic equations which govern the flow of fluids in a geothermal reservoir (often a two-phase mixture of steam. and water) are outlined. The governing nonlinear system of partial differential equations that arises ... -
Mathematical Models In Portfolio Selection: The case Of The Emerging Nairobi Stock Exchange
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics, 2011)A GREAT deal of theoretical and empirical work has been carried out in recent years, on the use of mathematical models as an aid to the selection of investment portfolios containing equities. Some of the models have been ... -
