Characterization of Factors Influencing the Differential Productivity of Anopheles gambiae at Larval Habitats in Asembo bay, Western Kenya
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences, 2005)Anopheles gambiae larvae and pupae inhabit mainly small, transient, sunlit and turbid pools. These habitats exhibit different productivity levels. The factors responsible for this differential productivity are important ... -
Characterization of Glossina pallidipes midgut proteins as vaccine candidate(s) for Human African Trypanosomosis
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 2007)There are currently no vaccines available against trypanosomosis and vector management as an option has problems with sustainability. Anti-vector and transmission blocking vaccine development is thus a novel strategy ... -
Characterization of groundwater aquifers in a structurally complex region: - a case study of West of Lake Naivasha Area
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Climate change, groundwater abstraction, horticulture and geothermal activities have influenced the volcanic aquifers within and around Lake Naivasha area. In the previous studies, the effects of faults on varying groundwater ... -
Characterization of Hexachlorocyclohexane (Hch) Degradation Pathway Genes in Two Strains of Sphingobium Bacteria Previosuly Isolated From Hch Contaminated Soil in Kitengela
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) continues to pose threat to the environment despite the restricted use or complete ban in most parts of the world due to its toxicity effects, environmental persistence, and bioaccumulation ... -
Characterization of Kenyan isolates of Leishmania by Isoenzyme Electrophoresis and Infectivity to mice.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Zoology, 1993)In this study, Leishmania major and Leishmania strains from Kenya were cloned by limiting dilution. Population homogeneity of the strains was determined by determining the infectivity of the clones in Balb/e mice and ... -
Characterization of limestone deposits in the Mozambique belt of Kenya, a case study of Kajiado area
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2012)The project focuses on the characterization of limestone deposits in Kajiado which lies on the Mozambique Mobile belt of Kenya. Limestone is fundamentally important for the economic development of any country. It has a ... -
Characterization of mammal hairs and their application in determining diet composition of lion (panther Leo Massaica Neuman) in the salient region of Aberdare National Park, Kenya.
(School of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1996)This study sought to determine the diet composition of lion in the salient region of Aberdare National Park by analysis of hairs obtained from their scats. Monthly counts of potential lion prey species were carried out ... -
Characterization of multiple drug resistant Klebsiella strains isolated in Kenya
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 2006) -
Characterization of Outdoor Malaria Transmission and Plant Feeding Pattern Among Anopheles Funestus and Anopheles Gambiae Mosquitoes From Selected Ecologies of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Outdoor malaria transmission remains a major hindrance to effective control and elimination of the disease. However, the anopheline vector composition among outdoor biting fractions is poorly understood including associated ... -
Characterization of s. damnosuum s .1. From six River-systems in kenya using ecological Parameters and cellulose Acetate electrophoresis
(University of NairobiDepartment of Zoology, 1984)From December 1981 up to April 1983 ecological and biochemical studies were carried out on the Simulium damno Sum complex sibling spec~es in nine river-systems of Kenya, of which only six were found suitable for ~. damno ... -
Characterization Of Sands For Heavy Minerals, Selected Heavy Metals Distribution And Profiling Along River Tiva, Kitui County, Southeastern Kenya
(University Of Nairobi, 2016)The main objective of this study was to characterize the river Tiva sands for heavy mineral content. The study, in addition, has determined the elements associated with heavy minerals of interest; titanium (Ti), iron (Fe) ... -
Characterization of Sb2s3 Based Extremely Thin Absorber Solar Cells Employing Tio2- nb Compact Layer
(University of Nairobi, 2019)An extremely thin absorber (ETA) solar cell of the type FTO/TiO2/Sb2S3/P3HT/Ag has been studied by theoretical method using software simulation as well as by experimental method with an inclusion of a porous layer of TiO2. ... -
