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 ... -

Maximal numerical range of Operators in hilbert spaces
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 1998)The maximal numerical range of a linear operator T, on a Hilbert space H, denoted by Wo(T), is a subset of the complex field C. It is a relatively new concept in ..operator theory, having been introduced only in 1970 ... -
Maximising lifetime of wireless sensor networks using distributed scheduling algorithms with adjustable sensing range.
(University of NairobiSchool of Computing and Informatics, 2011)Optimizing the energy consumption in wireless sensor networks has recently become the most important performance objective. In this project we define the lifetime of a wireless sensor network as the amount of time that ... -
Maximum Entropy Modelling of Parthenium Hysterophorus L. Under Current and Projected Climate Change Within the Maasai Mara Ecosystem
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Land managers are increasingly using Species Distribution Models (SDMs) in modeling potential geographical distribution of Invasive Alien Plant Species (IAPS). These models show current distribution and also areas prone ... -
Mean and seasonal diurnal variation of precipitation in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1983)This study was undertaken to establish the geographical and seasonal distribution of the diurnal variation of precipitation in East Africa. An analysis of the diurnal variation of precipitation at about fifty different ... -
