Decline in childhood iron deficiency after interruption of malaria transmission in highland Kenya1–3
(AJCN, 2014-07-30)
Background: Achieving optimal iron status in children in malariaendemic areas may increase the risk of malaria. Malaria itself may contribute to iron deficiency, but the impact of an interruption in malaria transmission ...

Despite the post-war government’s unprecedented efforts to stimulate growth of the rural non-farm (RNF) sector in Rwanda, evidence suggests that participation in this sector remains low compared with other developing and ...
Participation of fishing communities in neglected tropical disease/HIV co-infection Cohort Studies in Western Kenya
(2014)
Background: Fishing communities on the shores of Lake Victoria are at high risk of schistosome infections, and at the same time, also considered at high risk of HIV infection due to factors associated with lifestyle or ...
Preparation, characterization, and optimization of primaquine-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles
(PMC, 2014-08-11)
Primaquine (PQ) is one of the most widely used antimalarial drugs and is the only available drug that combats the relapsing form of malaria. PQ use in higher doses is limited by severe tissue toxicity including hematological- ...

Norm Inequalities for positive elementary operators and entanglement of states
(Journal of Global Research in Mathematical Archives, 2014-05-05)
We present norm inequalities for positive elementary operators via Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and Minkowskis inequality techniques. Norm inequalities are presented in Euclidean algebras linked to Minkowski’s light cones. ...
Projective Norms and Convergence of Norm-Attainable Operators
(Journal of Global Research in Mathematical Archives, 2014-05-05)
Let H be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. We establish norm-attainability of operators via projective tensor norm. Moreover, we give results on the ...
Option Pricing of an Asset with Seasonal and Periodic Supply
(International Journal of Multidisciplinary Sciences and Engineering, 2014-12-12)
In option pricing the rate of change of asset price with time can be viewed to be directly proportional to the Walrasian [6] excess demand. Scholars such as Jacques [3] and Onyango [4], have used the excess demand concept ...
