Geometric Features of Vertebrobasilar Arterial System in Adult Black Kenyans
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
SUMMARY: Geometric features of vertebrobasilar system influence occurrence of posterior circulation atherosclerosis,
aneurysms, stroke and neuroradiological procedures. These features show ethnic variation, but data from ...
Infection in pregnancy; understanding impact on placental microenvironment and preterm birth: a review
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Background: Pregnancy increases susceptibility to and severity of infections caused by certain microbes and
parasites. The presence of these infectious agents at the maternofetal interface may lead to adverse pregnancy
outcomes ...
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 ...
Optical properties of amorphous Se90-XIn10SbX thin film alloys
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Ternary thin film alloys of Se90-XIn10SbX (x = 1, 4, 10, 15 and 20) were synthesised by flash evaporation of the pre-melt quenched bulk samples under a vacuum of 10−5 Torr. Optical absorption analysis pointed to indirect ...

Development of school infrastructure, availability of teaching/ learning and teacher training help improve the quality of secondary schools in Mogadishu Somalia. The purpose of the study was to investigate role of the ...
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 ...
Angle resolved photoemission study of surface states on the Pt(997) vicinal surface
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
One-dimensional atomic chains can be synthesized on stepped surfaces and the electronic structure of the high vicinal surface plays an essential role in determining the physical properties of atomic chains grown on top of ...
Heterologous expression of the benzoate para-hydroxylase encoding gene (CYP53B1) from Rhodotorula minuta by Yarrowia lipolytic
(University of Nairobi, 2006)
There is currently an increasing number of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) monooxygenase encoding genes becoming available from various genome-sequencing projects. These enzymes require association with cytochrome P450 reductase ...
