Modeling Risky Sexual Behaviors among Out-of-school Youth
(2008)
Out-of-school youth, are at the heart of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and it is important that the
government and its development partners develop responsive and evidence based prevention
programs to fight the spread of the ...
Multistability analysis of a nutrient-dependent model system for water hyacinth
(2001)
We begin in chapter I with literature review, which gives a brief background on
Waterhyacinth We look at the growth and reproduction, distribution, control methods, and
problems caused by water hyacinth. We also give a ...
Spatial analysis of tree species occurrence using generalized linear model and bayesian approach: a case study of Mt. Kenya region
(2007)
The development of predictive distribution models has become important in making
predictions about occurrence of species based on variables derived from remote sensing
or Geographical Information System (GIS). This project ...
Global asymptotic behavior of an aquatic system with periodic nutrient supply
(University of Nairobi, 2005-09)
We study the dynamical properties of a chemostat model in which two species compete
for a periodically supplied, growth-limiting nutrient. We exploit the well known basic
properties of the model to study the behaviour ...
Effect of censoring on dependence of bivariate survival data
(2009)
Copula modelling has become an increasingly popular tool to model dependence. Copulas
helps to extract the dependence structure from the joint distribution function of a set
of random variables, and at the same time ,to ...
Vegetation characterization and large herbivore population changes at IL N'gwesi community conservancy, Laikipia district, Kenya

Lectin expression associated with plasmodium infections in anopheles
(2003)
The variation of the mannose-binding protein (MBP) gene and the role
of lectins during infection in mosquitoes were investigated using
genomic DNA approach based on sequencing of the gene and the
levels of its expression ...
Information systems downtime at points or service: A Study of banking institutions in Kenya
(2004)
Information systems downtime (lSDT) in industry, the public and private sector results in
great losses yearly. System crashes in production environments can lead to material and
non-material damages. Only those with a ...
Modeling the Bivariate time to Mortality from HIV-l
(University of Nairobi, 2006)
Frailty models are used in survival analysis to account for unobserved heterogeneity in
individual risks to disease and death. Heterogeneity induces deviations in an individual's
risk of an event as well as associations ...
