The paraday effect and the variation of toatal electron content near the Equator
(University of NairobiSchool of mathematics,, 1969)The Appleton-Hartree expressions for the polarisation (of a plane radio wave in a non-isotropic medium) and the refractive index (of a oharaoteristic wave) are derived from standard Magnetoionic Theory. The Faraday ... -
A Parallel Corpus Based Translation Using Sentence Similarity
(University of Nairobi, 2014)When large quantities of technical texts are being translated manually, it is very difficult to produce consistent translations of recurrent stretches of text, such as paragraphs, sentences and phrases, making it not ... -
Parametric and semi-parametric models for the analysis of proportions in presence of over/under dispersion
(Department of Mathematic and Statistics, 1994)Data in the form of proportions arise in toxicology (Weil, 1970; Williams, 1975) and other similar fields (Crowder, 1978; Otake and Prentice, 1984). These proportions often exhibit variation greater than predicted by a ... -

Parasitological and immunopathological responses in mice with concomitant schistosoma mansoni and plasmodium berghei infections
(School of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2008)Usually, areas endemic for schistosomiasis have malarial infections and vice versa. In Kenya, areas like Mwea, Lake Victoria region, along the coast and Ukambani, are known for this. On the other hand, not much information ... -
Parking Management and Mapping system based on WSN in Nairobi
(University of Nairobi, 2015)Many cities have significant problems when it comes to traffic management. One of those problems is congestion in the streets and the roads leading to the city. This congestion can get so severe as to cause a complete ... -

(University of NairobiSchool of Biological Sciences, 2011)Shrimp farming IS carried out in intertidal areas in most parts of the world leading to transformation and loss of habitat. In South East Asia, Latin America and some parts of the Western Indian Ocean, shrimp aquaculture ... -
Participatory scenario development process in addressing potential impacts of anthropogenic activities on the ecosystem services of Mt. Marsabit forest, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)The Marsabit Forest Reserve (MFR), a green island in an arid environmental setting, generates multiple ecosystem goods and services (ES) to the local community critical for their livelihoods. The forest has been experiencing ... -
Particle retention and ionic strength effects in thermel field-flow fractionation
(Depatment of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 2001)Field-Flow Fractionation (FFF) of which thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF) is a member of, is a family of separation techniques applicable to the separation of macromolecules and particles. FFF spans a wide mass/size ... -
Pascat monitoring system
(University of Nairobi, 1991) -
Passive solar energy-efficient building design in Kenya
(Department of Physics - University of Nairobi., 1998)This work aims at providing thermal comfort specifications for buildings Kenya without the use of expensive active conditioning devices. It utilizes a computer proqram , ARCHIPAK, together with the climatic data for ... -
Past and future climate trends, impacts of charcoal production and adaptation options for lower Jubba of Somalia
(University of Nairobi, 2018)Climate is changing at an alarming rate threatening the critical pillars for environmental, social and economic development. Somalia is one of the countries of the GHA that has faced unique climate variability and climate ... -
Pathogenesis and immune responses in HIV-l infected infants and children
(School of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2001)There are limited reports on HIV-l RNA load, CD4 T-Iymphocyte counts, anti-HIV-l antibody responses and age in relation to disease progression in HIV-1 infected untreated children in Africa. Understanding these parameters ... -
