“Field IT for East Africa”: training young African scientists in Lake Naivasha (Kenya)
(University Of Nairobi, 2010)
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 ...
Bühlmann Credibility Approach to Systematic Mortality Risk Modeling for Sub-saharan Africa Populations (Kenya)
(University of Nairobi, 2022)
The classical mortality models such as the Cairns-Blake-Dowd (CBD), Lee-Carter (LC), Linear Regression (LR) models are used to model Systematic Mortality Risk (SMR) for many developed countries populations for actuarial ...
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 ...
On Unitary Quasi-equivalence of Operators
(University of Nairobi, 2020)
In this paper we investigate unitary quasi-equivalence of operators in Hilbert spaces. We characterize operators that are unitarily quasi-equivalent. We also investigate equivalence relations closely related to unitary ...
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 ...
Transgenic Expression of Dsrna Targeting the Pentalonia Nigronervosa Acetylcholinesterase Gene in Banana and Plantain Reduces Aphid Populations
(University of Nairobi, 2021)
The banana aphid, Pentalonia nigronervosa, is the sole insect vector of banana bunchy top
virus (BBTV), the causal agent of banana bunchy top disease. The aphid acquires and transmits
BBTV while feeding on infected banana ...
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 ...
