Modeling the Effect of Binding Kinetics in Spatial Drug Distribution in the Brain
(Hindawi, 2021-07-05)A 3-dimensional mathematical model is developed to determine the effect of drug binding kinetics on the spatial distribution of a drug within the brain. The key components, namely, transport across the blood-brain barrier ... -
Modeling the within-host co-infection of influenza A virus and pneumococcus
(Elsevier, 2018)In this paper a nonlinear mathematical model for a within-host co-infection of influenza A virus and pneumococcus is investigated. Conditions that explain the relations amid RIP and its relationship to the global asymptotic ... -
Modeling Traffic Flow on Multi-Lane Road: Effects ofLane-Change Manoeuvres Due to an On-ramp
(Global Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2018)Traffic breakdown is the main cause of vehicle traffic congestion in our multi-lane roads due to highway bottlenecks such as lane-drops, on and off-ramps. In this study the three phase traffic flow theory is outlined and ... -
Modeling USD/KES Exchange Rate Volatility using GARCH Models
(IOSR Journal of Economics and Finance (IOSR-JEF), 2017-02)this paper the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic models are applied in modeling exchange rate volatility of the USD/KES exchange rate using daily observations over the period starting 3rd January 2003 ... -
Modelling Credit Risk for Personal Loans Using Product-Limit Estimator
(International Journal of Financial Research, 2012-01-05)A product- limit approach was adopted to estimate time to default for male and female loan applicants. For each group, a sample of 250 applicants was observed for a 30 months. The life of the account is measured from the ... -
Modelling credit risk for personal loans: Cox Proportional Hazards Model Approach
(Pushpa Publishing House, 2012-08)A proportional hazards model approach was adopted to estimate risk of default for loan applicants. A sample of 500 applicants was observed for 36 months. The life of the account is measured from the month, it was opened ... -
Modelling Inflation Rate Volatility in Kenya Using Arch -Type Model Family
(2016)This paper describe the empirical study based on financial time series modelling with special application to modelling inflation data for Kenya. Specifically the theory of time series is modelled and applied to the ... -
Modelling Influenza Dynamics with Drug Resistance Aspect
(2017)Despite improvement in medical and public health standards, influenza continues to plague humankind causing high morbidity,mortality and socio-economic cost. Efforts to effectively combat the spread of influenza can be put in ... -
Modelling Multi-Mutation and Drug Resistance: A case of Immune-Suppression
(Research India Publications, 2018)A model that takes into account multi-mutation and drug resistance in a case of simple immune system and immune-suppression caused by drug resistant tumor cells is proposed. Since methods for revising therapeutic approaches ... -
MODELLING THE VOLATILITY OF EXCHANGE RATES IN RWANDESE MARKETS
(European Centre for Research Training and Development UK, 2014-12)This work applied Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) approach to modelling volatility in Rwanda Exchange rate returns. The Autoregressive (AR) model with GARCH errors was fitted to the daily ... -
Modelling the volatility of exchange rates in the Kenyan market
(Academic Journals, 2010)This paper considers the application of the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity process in the estimation of volatility in the Kenyan exchange rates. A quasi-maximum likelihood estimation procedure ... -
Modulation of the interfacial electrochemistry of surfactant-functionalised polypyrrole chemical sensor systems
(Pergamon, 2011)The redox properties of electro-polymerized polypyrrole (Ppy) doped with different surfactants were studied in acid medium. It was found out that the addition of different surfactants affect the redox properties as evidenced ... -
Molecularly imprinted polymers for the analysis and removal of polychlorinated aromatic compounds in the environment: a review
(RSC, 2016)Synthetic receptors and in particular molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are gaining relevance as selective sorbent materials and biomimetic recognition elements for analyzing polychlorinated aromatic compounds (PACs) ... -
