Tungsten carbide promoted Pd–Fe as alcohol-tolerant electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
An intermittent microwave heating (IMH) assisted method has been used to synthesize palladium and iron on nanocrystalline tungsten carbide (denoted as PdFe-WC/C) as a cathodic electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reactions ...
Synthesis, Biological Evaluation And Mechanistic Studies Of Totarol Amino Alcohol Derivatives As Potential Antimalarial Agents.
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Herein we report on the semisynthesis and biological evaluation of b-amino alcohol derivatives of the natural product totarol and other simple aromatic systems. All beta-amino alcohol derivatives of totarol exhibited higher ...

An Approximation Of Fisher's Information For The Negative Binomial Parameter K
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The negative binomial distribution is a versatile distribution in describing dispersion. The negative binomial parameter k is considered as a measure of dispersion. The aim of this paper is to present an approximation of ...
Use of ethnoveterinary remedies in the management of foot and mouth disease lesions in a diary herd

Modelling Dispersion Using Finite Mixture Of PoissoN
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The negative binomial distribution is a versatile distribution in describing dispersion. The negative binomial parameter k is considered as a dispersion parameter. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that filnite mixture ...
Influence of tomato spotted wilt virus on performance and behaviour of western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2012-11-27)
The general principles in pathogen transmission by insects involve a complex and specific interplay, in this case between thrips, tospovirus and their shared host plant, which has led to outbreaks of crop disease epidemics ...
