Hepatitis B infection is highly prevalent among patients presenting with jaundice in
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Viral hepatitis is a major concern worldwide, with hepatitis A (HAV) and E (HEV) viruses showing sporadic outbreaks while hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses are associated with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular ...
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 ...
Surface Photovoltage Study of Surface Defects on Co-Doped TiO2 Thin Films Deposited by Spray Pyrolysis
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Surface photovoltage (SPV) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying electronic defects
on semiconductor surfaces, at interfaces, and in bulk for a wide range of materials. Undoped and
Cobalt-doped TiO2 (CTO) thin ...
Identification and Sorting of Materials With Portable Libs Before Decommissioning
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a technique of elemental analysis. A laser beam is
focused on the surface of the sample to be analyzed. A small quantity of matter is ablated and a plasma
formed by the ...
Radiological Mapping of the Alkaline Intrusive Complex of Jombo, South Coastal Kenya by In-Situ Gamma-Ray Spectrometry
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Carbonatites and alkaline intrusive complexes are rich in a variety of mineral deposits such as rare earth elements
(REEs), including Nb, Zr and Mn. These are often associated with U and Th bearing minerals, including ...
Morphology and morphometry of the distal articular surface of lunate bone in a Kenyan population
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
The morphology and morphometry of the distal articular surface of the lunate exhibits inter-population variations.
They are of clinical importance to hand surgeons due to their influence on the occurrence of proximal pole ...
Hexafurcation of Basilar Artery in a Black Kenyan Population
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Pattern of terminal branching of the basilar artery may influence predisposition to atherosclerosis and aneurysms. Knowledge of unusual patterns is also important in interpretation of extent of stroke and during neuroradiological ...
Variations Of Pulmonary Veins And Their Clinical Relevance
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Variations of pulmonary veins (PV) were previously considered rare, only documented as isolated case reports.
Recent cadaveric, autopsy, CT, MDCT and MRI studies have revealed substantial variations with respect to ...
Branching Pattern Of The Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery In A Black Kenyan Population
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Branching pattern of the left anterior descending coronary artery is important in explaining variations in occurrence of coronary atherosclerosis, informing management strategies for coronary heart disease and interventional ...
