International Symposium on Natural Immunity to HIV: A Gathering of the HIV-Exposed Seronegative Clan
(University of Nairobi,, 2010)This supplemental issue of the Journal of Infectious Diseases collects summaries of oral presentations on the phenomenon of natural immunity to human immunodeficiency virus type (HIV) infection that were given at the ... -
Internet Utilization: A Case of Connected Rural and Urban Secondary Schools in Kenya
(School of Computing and Informatics, 2010)This paper looks at the utilization of the Internet among teachers and students in connected rural and urban secondary schools in Kenya. A conceptual framework composed of variables which can explain Internet utilization ... -
Interphase cytogenetics using biotin and digoxigenin labeled probes. II: Simultaneous detection of two nucleic acid species in individual nuclei
(2013-08-02)A method was developed for the simultaneous detection of viral and human DNA in contrasting colours in routine formalin fixed, paraffin wax embedded biopsy specimens. This was achieved by non-isotopic in situ hybridisation ... -
An Interplay Between n-Power quasinormal and w-Hyponormal operators
(2014)In this monograph, via Aluthge transformations, it is proved that every n-Power normal operator is normaloid and through paranormality, w-hyponormal operators are shown to be indepedent from n-Power normal, hence from ... -
Interpretation of Late Precambrian Palaeomagnetic Results from Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1971-12-17)An apparent polar wander path for the Late Precambrian of Africa is proposed. It is defined by new data from Kenya and Tanzania covering the period 800 My to 1000 or 1100 My, and with an average polar wander rate of about ... -
Interpretation of small-modulation photocurrent transients in dye-sensitized solar cells – A film thickness study
(Department of Physics, College of Biological and Physical sciences, University of Nairobi, 2010)Electron transport in dye-sensitized solar cells with varying mesoporous TiO2 film thicknesses was investigated using experimental and computational methods. More specifically, photocurrent transients resulting from ... -

The interspecific relationships of Juncus effusus and J. conglomeratus in Britain
(University of Nairobi, 1968)Juncus effusus and J. conglomeratus appear to be specifically distinct in the British Isles; J. conglomeratus is the rarer species. Their principal diagnostic features are given. Evidence is presented to show that the ... -
Intima – media thickness of left anterior descending coronary artery in a Black Kenyan population: correlation with morphological feature
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Background: Intima-Media thickness is an acknowledged surrogate marker for predicting and profiling of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It displays geographical and ethnic variation but is seldom reported among black ... -
Intraseasonal characteristics of wet and dry spells over Kenya
(Department of Meteorology, 2008)Results of four years' studies from a number of hospitals in Kenya have shown that nosocomial infections in burns units are due to Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Through chromosomal DNA and plasmid ... -
Intraseasonal oscillations of the East African long rains and their connection with MJO activity over the Indian Ocean
(2005)Our understanding of the East African long rains (March-May) variability remains relatively poor. Interannual variations are quite small compared to intraseasonal vari- ations. An analysis of pentad rainfall and OLR data ... -
Intraspecific competition in larvae of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) within maize grains
(School of Biological Sciences, 1998)The effects of egg clutch size on development and survivorship of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Col.: Bostrichidae) on maize were measured in the laboratory using single grains of the white maize ... -
The introduced Micropterus salmoides in an equatorial lake: a paradoxical loser in an invasion meltdown scenario?
(Springer NetherlandsSchool of Biological Sciences, University of NairobiDepartment of Biology, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK, 2010)Micropterus salmoides is a North American piscivorous fish on the IUCN list of 100 of the world’s worst invasive alien species. Introduced into Lake Naivasha (Kenya) in 1929, their current population abundance is significantly ... -
