Evaluation of the influence of electric nets on the behaviour of oviposition site seeking Anopheles gambiae s.s
(University of Nairobi,, 2014-06)
Background
Electric nets (e-nets) are used to analyse the flight behaviour of insects and have been used extensively to study the host-oriented flight of tsetse flies. Recently we adapted this tool to analyse the ...
Absorption of Congo red dye from aqueous solutions using roots of eichhornia crassipes: kinetic and equilibrium studies
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Absorption of Congo red (CR) from aqueous solution using dried roots of Eichhornia crassipes was studied. Batch experiments were carried out for sorption kinetics and isotherms. Experimental results obtained showed that ...
Implementation of Digital Village Projects in Developing Countries - Case of Kenya
(2014)
This paper looked at the implementation of Digital Village Projects (DVPs) in Kenya and
the constraints that hinder the successful implementation of these projects. DVPs like any
other Information and Communication ...
Regional variation in the microscopy and tensile strength of the linea alba in the male goat (capra hircus).
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The
linea alba
(LA)
, a midline tendinous structure formed by the interlocking anterior abdominal wall
aponeurotic fibers, acts as a passive tensile band that prevents sagging of the lower abdomen.
The
microstructure ...
Intelligent System for Predicting Agricultural Drought for Maize Crop
(International journal of technology enhancements and emerging engineering research, 2014)
There has been little information in regard to agricultural drought prediction. This paper aimed at coming up with an efficient and intelligent agricultural drought prediction system.
By using a case study approach and ...
Provision of vitamin A through utilization of local food materials in rural parts of western Kenya
(2007)
High prevalence and the negative consequences of the deficiencies resulting from
inadequate intake of iron, iodine and vitamin A have resulted in focused global efforts
to alleviate them. Vitamin A deficiency which has ...
Viral load, CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts and antibody titres in HIV-1 infected untreated children in Kenya; implication for immunodeficiency and AIDS progression.
(2006)
ere are limited reports on HIV-1 RNA load, CD4+ T-lymphocytes and antibody responses in relation to disease progression in HIV-1 infected untreated children in Africa.
METHODS:
To describe the relationships between ...
Spatially variable risk factors for malaria in a geographically heterogeneous landscape, western Kenya: an explorative study
(2016)
Background
Large reductions in malaria transmission and mortality have been achieved over the last decade, and this has mainly been attributed to the scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets and indoor residual ...
On the effects of random forces in non uniformly distributed dynamical system
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
Interaction of a dynamical system with stochastic source R(t) is studied using parabolic type equation on a circle of length 2L.Greens function for the system is constructed and it is shown that almost all the correlation ...
Comparative analysis of ear-hole closure identifies epimorphic regeneration as a discrete trait in mammals
(2016)
Why mammals have poor regenerative ability has remained a long-standing question in
biology. In regenerating vertebrates, injury can induce a process known as epimorphic
regeneration to replace damaged structures. ...
