Products derived from the leaves of Ocimum kilimandscharicum (Labiatae) as post-harvest grain protectants against the infestation of three major stored product insect pests
(University of NairobiDepartment of Zoology, University of NairobiInternational Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology, Nairobi, 1995-09)The bioactivity of materials from the leaves of Ocimum kilimandscharicum was tested against Sitophilus zeamais Mots chulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and ... -
Profile: the Rusinga health and demographic surveillance system, western Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)The health and demographic surveillance system on Rusinga Island, Western Kenya, was initiated in 2012 to facilitate a malaria intervention trial: the SolarMal project. The project aims to eliminate malaria from Rusinga ... -
Prognostic models for predicting in-hospital paediatric mortality in resource-limited countries: a systematic review
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Objectives: To identify and appraise the methodological rigour of multivariable prognostic models predicting in-hospital paediatric mortality in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Design: Systematic review ... -
Prognostic relevance of integrated genetic profiling in acute myeloid leukemia
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of physics, 2012)BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with respect to presentation and clinical outcome. The prognostic value of recently identified somatic mutations has not been systematically evaluated ... -
Projected Climatic and Hydrologic Changes to Lake Victoria Basin Rivers under Three RCP Emission Scenarios for 2015–2100 and Impacts on the Water Sector
(MDPI, 2019-07-13)Abstract: Rivers in the Lake Victoria Basin support a multitude of ecosystem services, and the economies of the riparian countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi) rely on their discharge, but projections ... -
Projection for PV sizing for a stand-alone "all-direct current" telecommunication system using the mismatch factor algorithms
(University of Nairobi, 2012)Solar PV energy has been widely used for decade especially where connection to a national grid is seldom possible and other sources such as fossil fuel and others are either unavailable or uneconomical. Solar PV energy ... -
Proliferation of estrogen receptor-α-positive mammary epithelial cells is restrained by transforming growth factor-β1 in adult mice
(2005)Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 is a potent inhibitor of mammary epithelial proliferation. In human breast, estrogen receptor (ER)-α cells rarely co-localize with markers of proliferation, but their increased frequency ... -
Proline synthesis in the fat body of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans, and its stimulation by isocitrate
(University of NairobiDepartment Of Biochemistry, 1988)The in vitro synthesis of proline from glutamate was followed in fat body homogenates from the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans. Rates of synthesis were much higher in freeze-thawed or sonicated homogenate than in untreated ... -
Promoting mathematics in Africa through the African Mathematics Millennium Science Initiative (AMMSI)
