A Theoretical Model of Corruption Using Modified Lotka Volterra Model: A Perspective of Interactions between Staff and Students
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020-08)
Corruption is the misuse of power or resources for private gain. This undermines economic development,
political stability, and government legitimacy, the society fabric, allocation of resources to sectors crucial
for ...
Simulation of a Deterministic Model of HIV Transmission between Two Closed Patches
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020-09-08)
Numerical simulation of a deterministic model of HIV transmission between major cities in Kenya is
carried out. The model considered two closed patches connected by the commuter movements of truck
drivers being the agents ...
Short Communication: Efficacy of Two Commercial Disinfectants on Paenibacillus larvae Spores
(Frontiers, 2022-05)
Paenibacillus larvae is a spore-forming bacterium causing American foulbrood (AFB) in
honey bee larvae. The remains of a diseased larva contains billions of extremely resilient
P. larvae spores viable for decades. Burning ...
A Mathematical Model of Contact Tracing during the 2014–2016 West African Ebola Outbreak
(MDPI, 2021-03-12)
The 2014–2016 West African outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) was the largest and
most deadly to date. Contact tracing, following up those who may have been infected through
contact with an infected individual to ...
Modeling the Effect of HIV/AIDS Stigma on HIV Infection Dynamics in Kenya
(springer, 2021-03-15)
Stigma toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has impeded the response
to the disease across the world. Widespread stigma leads to poor adherence of preventative measures while also causing PLWHA to avoid testing and ...
Distribution, abundance and natural enemies of the invasive tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in Kenya
(cambridge university press, 2021-05-17)
Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) has become a serious menace to sustainable production of tomato in Kenya. A survey was conducted between April 2015 and June 2016 to determine its distribution, abundance, infestation, and damage ...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Doum Palm (Hyphaene compressa) Using Genotyping by Sequencing
(Frontiers, 2022-02)
Doum palm (Hyphaene compressa) is a perennial economic plant primarily growing in
Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). It is heavily relied upon for food, animal feed,
construction materials and medicine, making it ...
Evidence-based modeling of combination control on Kenyan youth HIV/AIDS dynamics
(plos one, 2020-11-17)
We formulate a sex-structured deterministic model to study the effects of varying HIV testing
rates, condom use rates and ART adherence rates among Adolescent Girls and Young
Women (AGYW) and, Adolescent Boys and Young ...
MODELING DISPROPORTIONAL EFFECTS OF EDUCATING INFECTED KENYAN YOUTH ON HIV/AIDS
(journal of biological systems, 2020)
We formulate an age and sex-structured deterministic model to assess the effect of increasing comprehensive knowledge of HIV/AIDS disease in the infected Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) and, Adolescent Boys and ...
The Contribution of Subtidal Seagrass Meadows to the Total Carbon Stocks of Gazi Bay, Kenya
(Diversity, 2022-08-11)
Seagrass beds occur globally in both intertidal and subtidal zones within shallow marine
environments, such as bays and estuaries. These important ecosystems support fisheries production,
attenuate strong wave energies, ...
