MODELING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROL MEASURES TOWARDS HIV/AIDS AND PNEUMONIA CO-INFECTION
(University of Eldoret, 2013)The lungs are a principal target of HIV-associated complications and persons with HIV-infection are at an increased risk for a wide spectrum of opportunistic Pneumonias. In this research an HIV/AIDS and Pneumonia co-infection ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF EFFECTS OF BOUNDARY LAYER THICKNESS ON A THIN FILM OF LIQUID FLOW DOWN AN INCLINED PLANE
(University of Eldoret, 2013)The motion of fluid substances can be described by the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations arise from the application of Newton's second Law of motion to a fluid. In this study, Navier-Stokes equations in two ... -
E-OPTIMAL DESIGNS FOR SECOND-DEGREE KRONECKER MODEL MIXTURE EXPERIMENTS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)Many products are formed by mixing together two or more ingredients. For example, in building construction, concrete is formed by mixing sand, water and cement. Many practical problems are associated with investigation of ... -
OVERALL CENTRAL MOMENTS OF TRAFFIC DELAY AT A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION
(University of Eldoret, 2013)Overall traffic delay model for estimating the mean and variance at a signalized intersection is discussed. The model was developed under basis of two delay components, namely deterministic and stochastic components. The ... -
