“Field IT for East Africa”: training young African scientists in Lake Naivasha (Kenya)
(University Of Nairobi, 2010)
Tectonic Structures Across The East African Rift Based On The Source Parameters Of The 20 May 1990 M7.2 Sudan Earthquake
(Universty of Nairobi, 2014)
Earthquakes in Kenya are common along the Kenya Rift Valley due to the slow divergent movement of the rift and hydrothermal processes in the geothermal fields. This implies slow but continuous radiation of seismic energy ...
Alienusolin, a new 4α-deoxyphorbol ester derivative, and crotonimide C, a new glutarimide alkaloid from the Kenyan Croton alienus.
(2013-12)
Two novel compounds, alienusolin, a 4α-deoxyphorbol ester (1), crotonimide C, a glutarimide alkaloid derivative (2), and ten known compounds, julocrotine (3), crotepoxide (4), monodeacetyl crotepoxide (5), dideacetylcrotepoxide, ...
Electronic Properties of Catechol Adsorbed on Rutile TiO2 and SnO2 (110) Surfaces: A Density Functional Theory Study
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
The incorporation of organic molecules such as catechol onto TiO2 substrate to enhance TiO2 photocatalytic activity
has led to improved Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) efficiency. Nonetheless, it still remains low for ...
ANSOLE Mini-Symposium in Kenya (AMSK 2013) 9. May 2013, Nairobi Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Energy is the main driver in any economy because almost everything is directly or indirectly related to energy. Energy determines to a large extend the prices of goods, commodities , services and hence the cost of living ...
Compositional analysis and optical properties of Co doped TiO2 thin films fabricated by spray pyrolysis method for dielectric and photocatalytic applications
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
Cobalt doped TiO2 thin films (CTF) deposited by spray pyrolysis has been studied. The compositional analysis has been done using RBS method, while optical spectroscopy has been done by measuring the transmittance and ...
Assessment and mapping of the high background radiation anomaly associated with laterite utilization in the south coastal region of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Laterite is commonly used in Kenya and other tropical countries as an aggregate material for road paving. However, the use and relocation of laterite and other geological materials from high background radiation areas ...
Influence of Pore Size on the Optical and Electrical Properties of Screen Printed Thin Films
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Influence of pore size on the optical and electrical properties of TiO2 thin films was studied. TiO2 thin films with different weight percentages (wt%) of carbon black were deposited by screen printing method on fluorine ...
Upper limits for undetected trace species in the stratosphere of Titan
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
In this paper we describe the first quantitative search for several molecules in Titan's stratosphere in Cassini CIRS infrared spectra. These are: ammonia (NH3), methanol (CH3OH), formaldehyde (H2CO), and acetonitrile ...
Effect Of Deposition Temperature On The optical Properties Of Iron-Doped Cadmium Stannate Thin Films Deposited By Spray Pyrolysis
(University of Nairobi, 2019)
Spray Pyrolysis Technique (SPT) was used to deposit thin films (TFs) of cadmium stannate, doped
with iron (Fe) for the first time. The precursor solutions that were used wereprepared at a concentration of
0.1M, doped ...
