(School of Computing and Informatics, 2011)Land is a key asset of any country. It is one of the factors of production which includes labour and capital. It is critical for economic, social and political development of a country. There exists a correlation between ... -
Development of molecular markers for species diagnosis and analysis of genetic diversity in African fruit fly populations
(2004)In this study, the possibility of using Ceratitis capitata (medfly)-derived microsatellites both for developing an SSR-based species-diagnostic peR assay and studying the genetic structures of a range of congeneric, ... -
Development of Polyacrylic Acid Based Electrochemical Sensor for Detection of Selected Heavy Metals in Water
(University of Nairobi, 2017)A simple differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetric sensor based on Polyacrylic acid/Glassy carbon electrode has been developed for simultaneous analysis of lead(II), cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) ions. Electrochemical ... -
Development of refined oil from lake Victoria Nile Perch (Lates Niloticus) Viscera
(2014)Oil was extracted from Nile perch viscera by varying the wet acid rendering method, then the oil characterized for yields and quality. Viscera were obtained from a local fish filleting plant in Nairobi. Temperature of the ... -
Development of Salt tolerant cultivars in sorghum bicolor (L) moench by tissue culture method
(University of NairobiSchool of Biological Sciences, 2002)Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench is generally sensitive to salt and acid (high aluminium) soil stresses. As with any stress phenomenon, intra-specific variability exists within the genus. In Vitro cell selection and somaclonal ... -
Development Of Slow Release Nano Composite Fertilizer Using Biodegradable Super absorbent Polymer
(University of Nairobi, 2019)This work aimed at developing a slow release nano-composite fertilizer (SRF) for improved nutrient use efficiency in soil using a biodegradable superabsorbent polymer. Partially neutralized acrylic acid was grafted onto ... -
Development of solid catalyst for transesterification of croton megalocarpus hutch oil in biodiesel production and blending with kerosene
(University of Nairobi, 2014)The accelerating and frequently fluctuating price of conventional diesel, together with growing environmental concerns has sparked renewed attention on the search for alternative fuel. The awareness of the toxic effects ... -
Development of special and general theories of relativity and their applications
(School of mathematics, 2012-06)This project gives the thorough development of the two theories of relativity namely special and general theories. Since the birth of general relativity (GR) came after special relativity (SR), soon after comprehensive ... -
Development of Thermoregulation in Three Species of Tropical Seabirds
(University of Nairobi, 1988-12)'The development of thermoregulation was studied in three species of tropical seabirds: Sooty Tern (Sterna fuscata), Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus) and the Wedge-tailed Shearwater (Puffinus pacificus) . late prehatichinq ... -

Diagnosis and predictability of east african rainfall on intraseasonal to interannual timescales
(Department of Meteorology University of Nairobi, 2000)Almost all facets of societal and economic activities in East Africa are critically dependent on the variability of seasonal rainfall which mostly occurs during March-May (long rains) and September/October-December (short ... -
Diagnosis of acute bovine sarcocystosis using genomic DNA probes
(Department of Pathology and Microbiology, University of Prince Edward Island, 1994-01)DNA probes were prepared from a Sarcocystis cruzi sporozoite genomic library constructed in bacteriophage lambda gt 10. Of the 96 clones examined, 14 showed strong hybridisation to parasite DNA and were further analyzed. ... -
