Natural and experimental studies on domestic animal infections with visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases in Kenya.
(10/3/2012)The control of visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases in Kenya has been difficult due to poor knowledge of animal reservoirs of these diseases. Little is known about the feeding preferences of phlebotomine sand flies that ... -
Natural Convection with Localized Heating and Cooling on Opposite Vertical Walls in an Enclosure
(2013)This is a numerical study of turbulent natural convection flow in a rectangular enclosure. The flow of heat is one form of Newtonian motion. We consider natural convection in a three dimensional rectangular enclosure in ... -

Natural Products from Plant Diversity and their Potential in Management of Neglected Diseases
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi,, 2011)Conventionally, neglected diseases are considered as a group of 13 infectious diseases that are . endemic in the low income populations in the tropical developing world. They can be classified as those caused by trypanosomal ... -
Natural radioactivity and external dose in the high background radiation area of Lambwe East, Southwestern Kenya
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2012)Absorbed dose rates around the North and South Ruri hills in Lambwe east, southwestern Kenya were measured using survey meters. The area lies roughly between latitudes 0°30′S and 1°00′S. It is bounded on the east by longitude ... -
Natural Radioactivity in Some Building Materials in Kenya and the Contributions to the Indoor External Doses
(1997)Against a background of growing concern over the health risks associated with exposure to natural sources of radiation, a study has been carried out in Kenya in which the activity concentrations of the major radionuclides ... -

The need for a flood forecasting system in Kenya (revised)
(Department of Meteorology, 2002)A double antibody enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for identification of thermostable muscle antigens of autoclaved meat samples is described. The assay differentiates heterologous thermostable muscle antigens from ... -
The need for aquatic pollution studies in Kenyan inland waters
(1986)The need for baseline data on pollution studies to the aquatic biota of Kenyan Inland waters is of profound importance. Aware of the possible contamination of the rivers and Lakes with heavy metals, pesticides and other ... -
The Negative Binomial Parameter K As A Measure Of Dispersion
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics University of Nairobi, 2010)The role of the negative binomial parameter k and index of patchiness as measures of dispersion in relation to random removal of individuals are discussed. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate analytically that the ... -
