Relationships between Plasmodium falciparum transmission by vector populations and the incidence of severe disease at nine sites on the Kenyan coast
(The American Society of Tropical Medecine and HygieneDepartment(s) of Zoology, University of Nairobi, 1995)The transmission of Plasmodium falciparum was studied in relation to the incidence of severe malaria infections at nine sites in the Kilifi District in Kenya. Intensive mosquito sampling during a one-year period yielded ... -
Relative Deprivation, Protests and Voting in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)While protests and voting are forms of political participation, their theoretical and empirical literature has largely developed independently and remains unintegrated, despite a possible common causal mechanism. This ... -
Relative equilibria in Hamiltonian systems: The dynamic interpretation of nonlinear stability on a reduced phase space
(Elsevierdepartment of mathematics, university of Nairobi, 1992)Stability of relative equilibria for Hamiltonian systems is generally equated with Liapunov stability of the corresponding fixed point of the flow on the reduced phase space. Under mild assumptions, a sharp interpretation ... -
Relative equilibria of Hamiltonian systems with symmetry: Linearization, smoothness, and drift
(Springer, 1995)A relative equilibrium of a Hamiltonian system with symmetry is a point of phase space giving an evolution which is a one-parameter orbit of the action of the symmetry group of the system. The evolutions of sufficiently ... -
Relativistic segnificance of curvature tensors
(Department of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1982)In this paper new curvature tensors have been defined on the lines of Weyl's projective curvature tensor and it has been shown that the distribution (order in which the vectors in question are arranged before being acted ... -
Release of intracranial pressure leads to improvement of otoacoustic emissions--a case report of a Kenyan child with complicated tuberculous meningitis
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2013)Intracranial pressure usually is measured with invasive techniques. The usability of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions as non-invasive approach has been evaluated only once by Frank et al. This article presents the ... -

Remote sensing and geophysical investigations of the geodynamic activities at lake Magadi, Southern Kenyan Rift.
(School of Physical Sciences, 2012)The tectonic lineaments and thermal structure of Lake Magadi, southern Kenyan rift system, were investigated using ASTER data and geophysical methods. Five N-S faults close to known hot springs were identified for ... -

Remote Sensing of African Lakes: A Review
(University of Nairobi, 2014)The optical complexity and small size of inland waters make the application of remote sensing more challenging than for the open ocean. However, in Africa, where in situ monitoring of important water bodies is financially, ... -
Remote Sensing Techniques for Rapid detection of Soil Physical Degradatio. International Journal of Remote Sensing
(University of Nairobi, 2007-10)Physical degradation undermines soils' ability to perform their many biophysical functions. Currently, there is lack of rapid methods to facilitate timely large‐area assessment for effective control of the degradation. ... -
Removal of Cr(III) from aqueous solutions using a micaceous poly–mineral from Kenya
(Department of Chemistry, 2003)Adsorption of Cr(III) ions from aqueous solutions using a micaceous polymineral (MPM) from Kenya was studied using batch experiments as function of contact time, adsorbent dosage, Cr(III) concentration, pH and temperature. ... -
Removal of Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution Using a Micaceous Mineral of Kenyan Origin
(2009)A micaceous mineral (MicaM) available locally in Kenya was utilized as an inexpensive and effective adsorbent for the removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solution. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature, adsorbate and ... -
Repellence of the tickRhipicephalus appendiculatus by the grassMelinis minutiflora
(Uniiversity of Nairobi.School of Biological Sciences, 1995-11)In a study to develop anti-tick pastures, the climbing behaviour ofRhipicephalus appendiculatus onMelinis minutiflora (molasses grass) was investigated. Experiments were done with cut green stems of grass, grass dried in ... -
Repellent Activities of Essential Oils of Some Plants Used Traditionally to Control the Brown Ear Tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus.
(University of Nairobi, 2014-02)Essential oils of eight plants, selected after an ethnobotanical survey conducted in Bukusu community in Bungoma County, western Kenya (Tagetes minuta, Tithonia diversifolia, Juniperus procera, Solanecio mannii, Senna ... -
Repellent Activities of Ocimum basilicum , Azadirachta indica and Eucalyptus citriodora Extracts on Rabbit Skin against Aedes aegypti
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Vector borne diseases are the major public health problems in developing countries particularly in tropics. Essential oils from plants can provide the safe and biodegradable alternatives to synthetic repellents, but ... -

Report on airmagnetic surveys of two areas in the Kenya rift valley ag
(University of Nairobi, 1972)Airmagnetic surveys have been carried out in two areas within the Kenya Rift system: the Lake Magadi region and the region south of Lake Hannington. In both regions, but particularly in the area south of Lake Hannington, ...
