Estimation of Ethanol/Water Solubility Profiles
(University of Nairobi, 2006)
The goal of this study was to develop a simple means of estimating the cosolvent/water
solubility profile using just the available properties (logKow, dielectric constant etc.) of
the solute, cosolvent and water. Ethanol ...
Analysis of E-readiness for the implementation of E-government in developing countries (A study of Kenya)
(2005)
E-government could be a very useful tool to the big task of provision of services by
governments to their citizenry. From this understanding many governments are adopting
use ofICTs in service delivery.

Effect of organic binders (corchorus olitorius and abelmoschus esculentus) on the fracture behaviour of kaolin refractories
(2005)
Both the okra and "mrenda" binders were separately prepared from vegetables by boiling
in water and sieving to get the filtrate. The chemical compositions of the binders were
analyzed to determine both the organic and ...
The uptake and tolerance levels of selected heavy metal ions and their distribution in sweet potato plants (ipomoea hatatas) under in vitro conditions
(University of Nairobi, 2009)
Some heavy metals are essential while others may adversely affect human who are water and plant
consumers. Pollution by heavy metals is a major problem globally and hence the need to identify
sources of the metals and ...
Support Vector And Relevance Vector Machines: A Comparison And Their Use For Data Reduction
(University of Nairobi, 2004)
Most machine learning algorithms suffer from the problems of over-fitting, complexity in
terms of computational time and memory storage due large training sets sizes. Two recent
kernel methods that have been developed ...
Estimating and forecasting the volatility of a Kenyan Finance Time-series using ARCH Models
(University of Nairobi, 2005)
The goal of this study is to present an empirical analysis of the return and conditional variance of
two Kenyan finance series using models of the ARCH class. To help understanding the empirical
results, a critical review ...

(2002)
It is now widely accepted that elephant female groups live in complex social units,
family that are led by a matriarchs, who is the oldest female in the group. It is also
established that the matriarch, through complex ...
Effects of rearing methods and hormones on growth and reproduction in the helmeted guinea fowl-numida meleagris
(University of Nairobi, School of Biological Sciences, 2007)
Growth pattern of helmeted guinea fowl keets was studies in two types of housing management: an open air system (OAS) and a deep litter system (DLS). A common growth pattern was obtained in both systems indicating that the ...
Assessment of maize crop water requirements and productivity under climate change in central and southern regions of Malawi
(2009)
The rapid population growth, poverty and climate variability have resulted into food
insecurity in Malawi. The impacts of climate change on agriculture will add challenges to
ensuring food security and poverty reduction ...
Cooperative problem solving: A Case study of the mobile phone technology
(2007)
A cooperative distributed problem solving (CDPS) system is a distributed network of
semi-autonomous processing nodes that work together to solve a single problem [23].
Cellular radio provides mobile telephone service by ...
