Some new synthetic reactions involving sodium hypochlorite
(1977)It was found that under acidic conditions malonic acid reacts with sodium hypochlorite to give various halogeni compounds in small yield. -
Sorption and detection of phenolic compounds by rice husk ash from Mwea,Kenya
(Depatment of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 2001)In this study, the potential of rice husk ash (RHA) to (i) adsorb phenol, resorcinol and 2-chlorophenol and (ii) be used in the detection of pyrogallol and pyrocatechol dissolved in aqueous solutions have been investigated ... -
SOURCE OF UNALIGN.ED ChIP-Seq READS
(University of NairobiCenter for Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, University of Nairobi, 2009)Chromatin Immunoprecipitation with sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is an indispensable tool in understanding the dynamics and evolution of regulatory circuitry of prokaryotes and eukaryotes by mapping genomewide transcription ... -
Sources Of Dissolved Inorganic Nutrient Fluxes In The Gazi Bay And Implications For Coastal Ecosystems
(University of NairobiFaculty of Science, 1997)Nutrient fluxes of dissolved NI-I/, N02-, N03-, P043- and Si(OH)4 in the water column and nearshore sediments were measured in situ in the Mangrove, Seagrass and Coral reef biotopes of the Gazi Bay. The measurements were ... -
The Space-time characteristics of minimum and maximum temperature values over the tropical Eastern Africa region
(University of Nairobi, 1994)This study examined the space-time characteristics of minimum and maximum temperature values over the Tropical Eastern Africa region in order to delineate any significant changes in the traditional space-time temperature ... -
Space-time characteristics of streamflow in Kenya
(Department of Meteorology Faculty of Science University of Nairobi, 1998)The major objective of this study was to determine the homogeneous hydrological divisions through space-time analysis of stream flow and to develop the best forecasting and flood prediction regional model. The homogeneous ... -
Space-time characteristics of the itcz over equatorial eastern Africa during anomalous rainfall years
(Department of Meteorology Faculty of Science University of Nairobi, 1996)Many socio-economic activities over the Equatorial Eastern Africa (EEA) region are rain-dependent. Occurrences of rainfall anomalies have therefore been associated with losses of life, property and many other socio-economic ... -
Spatial Analysis And Mapping Of Infant Mortality In Kenya On The Basis Of Demographic And Health Survey Data
(University of Nairobi, 2010)This study set out to examine and map the spatial variation of infant mortality in Kenya. We used data from Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) database to explore spatial variation. Generalized linear mixed inodel(GLMM) ... -
Spatial analysis of tree species occurrence using generalized linear model and bayesian approach: a case study of Mt. Kenya region
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2007)The development of predictive distribution models has become important in making predictions about occurrence of species based on variables derived from remote sensing or Geographical Information System (GIS). This project ... -
Spatial analysis of tree species occurrence: an example of Mount Kenya region
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2006)Ecologists often seek to predict species distributions of environmental variables. Statistical models are useful for making predictions about occurrence of species based on the variables derived from remote sensing or ... -
Spatial And Temporal Characteristics Of Thunderstorms Over The Eastern Region Of Lake Victoria Basin In Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015-06)Weather is very important on human activities over western Kenya just like the rest of the world. It affects lives in different ways, including the food and water resources. Western Kenya is the food basket of the country. ... -
