Evolution of the primate trypanolytic factor APOL1
(PNAS, 2014-04-08)
ApolipoproteinL1 (APOL1) protects humans and some primates against several African trypanosomes. APOL1 genetic variants strongly associated with kidney disease in African Americans have additional trypanolytic activity ...
Effect of dietary carbohydrate sources on the growth of Oreochromis Niloticus L: A case of Kaaka fish farm, Namutumba district, Eastern Uganda
(European International Journal of Science and Technology, 2014-08)
A 16-week field experiment was carried out at Kaaka fish farm in Namutumba district to investigate the effect of dietary carbohydrate sources on the growth performance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L Fish fry of ...
Urinary cytokines in Schistosoma haematobium-infected schoolchildren from Tana Delta District of Kenya
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2014)
Background: Pathological changes due to infection with Schistosoma haematobium include cytokine-mediated urinary tract inflammation. The involved cytokines may be excreted in urine and their presence in urine may therefore ...
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 ...
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 ...
Presence and distribution of mosquito larvae predators and factors influencing their abundance along the Mara River, Kenya and Tanzania
(spring open.com, 2014)
Among all the malaria controlling measures, biological control of mosquito larvae may be the cheapest and easiest to implement. This study investigated baseline predation of immature mosquitoes by macroinvertebrate predators ...
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 ...
