Greek parameters of nonlinear Black-Scholes equation
(2016)
Derivatives are used in hedging European options against risks. The partial derivatives
of the solution to either a variable or a parameter in the Black-Scholes model are called risk
(Greek) parameters or simply the ...
Analytic solution of a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation
(2016)
We study a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation
whose nonlinearity is as a result of a feedback effect. This is an illiquid mar-
ket effect arising from transaction costs. An analytic solution to the ...
The influence of reaction times on structural, optical and luminescence properties of cadmium telluride nanoparticles prepared by wet-chemical process
(2016-01)
This paper explains one pot synthesis of type II water soluble L-cysteine capped cadmium telluride (CdTe) core shell quantum dots using cadmium acetate, potassium tellurite and L-cysteine as the starting materials. The ...
Prevalence and determinants of iron-deficiency anaemia among children 6-23 Months attending Thika level-5 hospital, Kiambu County, Kenya
(International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition, 2016-11)
It is evident that iron in childhood is key for proper health and cognitive development as it is required for academic and wo rk productivity in adulthood. There is paucity of data concerning the prevalence of IDA in ...
Effects of entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae on non-target ants associated with Odontotermes spp. (Isoptera: Termitidae) termite mounds in Kenya
(ICIPE, 2016)
Termites are an important component of savannah ecosystems throughout Africa. Despite their importance in the ecosystem, they can be serious pests of structures, houses, rangelands, tropical forestry, and agriculture. For ...
A put option's value for a nonlinear black-scholes equation
(2016)
We study a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation for
modelling illiquid markets with feedback effects. After reducing the equation
into a second-order nonlinear partial differential equation, we find that ...
Antiplasmodial activity, in vivo pharmacokinetics and anti‑malarial efficacy evaluation of hydroxypyridinone hybrids in a mouse model
(2016)
During the erythrocytic stage in humans, malaria parasites digest haemoglobin of the host cell, and
the toxic haem moiety crystallizes into haemozoin. Chloroquine acts by forming toxic complexes with haem molecules
and ...
