Herbalist Diagnostic Support System: A Prototype
(2009)
The Herbalist Diagnostic Support System has been built using expert system techniques.
Expert Systems are useful in capturing rare knowledge from a human expert into a
computer system, thereby allowing a non-expert to ...
Impact of intensive larval control and monitoring on malaria vectors in an area of high insecticide treated net coverage in rural Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2009)
Integrated control of vectors of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa relies on strategic
targeting of mosquito vectors. An anti-larval control study was implemented in an area of
high insecticide treated bed net (ITN) ...
On irreducible representations of Sn
(2009-06)
As mentioned in [8], A group representation can be thought of as an action
oi a group G on some vector space. Such actions arise naturally in many
branches oi mathematics and physics and as such it is important to study ...
Systems associated with onset and cessation of march to may rainfall over the northern east coast of Tanzania
(2009)
This study has investigated two of the most important aspects of rainfall over the North
eastern coast of Tanzania, namely onset and cessation dates (pentads) of the main long
rainy season. These aspects have considerable ...
Antifungal bioactivity of selected medicinal plants used in treatment of fungal infections in the Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2009)
Opportunistic fungal infections are common in immunocompromised patients especially
those with HIV/AIDS. The Lake Victoria Basin has some of the highest prevalence rates
of HIV/AIDS hence high prevalence of these fungal ...
Comparison of proteins of parasite stages of schistosoma mansoni and those of the tissues of the snail vector biomphalaria pfeifferi
(University of Nairobi, 2009)
Antigen sharing between a parasite and its host is a stimulating facet of host-parasite
relationship which is currently receiving considerable attention. The aim of the study was to
investigate presence of common proteins ...
Response of Benthic Fauna to Mangrove Degradation and Restoration in Gazi Bay - Kenya
(2009)
The recovery towards a natural state of a restored Rhizophora mucronata mangrove ecosystem was investigated by assessing the sediment physical characteristics, densities, community composition and diversity of benthic ...

(University of Nairobi, 2009)
The microbial larvicides Bacillus sphaericus and Bacillus thuringiensis have recently proven to be effective tools for integrated mosquito control programmes in Africa. This study assessed the efficacy and duration of ...
SOURCE OF UNALIGN.ED ChIP-Seq READS
(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 ...
Sampling malaria vectors and other mosquitoes with the Ifakara tent trap and the standardized resting boxes inurban Dar es Salaam
(2009)
The most reliable existing means to measure human biting rate is the human landing catch
(HLC). Nonetheless, the HLC faces substantial limitations which necessitate development of
alternative techniques to replace it. ...
