The seismicity in Kenya (East Africa) for the period 1906–2010: A review
(University of Nairobi, 2014-01)Kenya has had a seismic station since 1963 as part of the World Wide Standardized Seismograph Network (WWSSN). In 1990, the University of Nairobi in collaboration with GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) started to build up a local ... -
The seismicity of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1988)The Kenya Rift Valley, part of the East African Rift System, which extends from Lake Turkana in the north to Lake Magadi in the south, is seismically active. It is surprisingly free of teleseismic events compared to the ... -
Seismicity of the Nairobi city area, its geotechnical implications and mitigation measures
(University of Nairobi, 2009)<正>This paper is an attempt to determine how vulnerable the city of Nairobi is to earthquake attack and the potential disaster sites within it and its environs,how this affects the structural integrity of the its construction ... -
Seismicity Of The Northern Part Of The Kenya Rift Valley
(University of Nairobi, 1985-07)During the first eight months of 1981 earthquake data were recorded during a passive seismic experiment (KRISP 81) in northern Kenya. An eight station, small aperture, short period seismic array was located on the eastern ... -

Selected ethno-medicinal plants from Kenya with in vitro activity against major African livestock pathogens belonging to the "Mycoplasma mycoides cluster".
(University of Nairobi, 2016)ETHNOPHARMOCOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Members of 'Mycoplasma mycoides cluster' are important ruminant pathogens in Africa. Diseases caused by these Mycoplasma negatively affect the agricultural sector especially in developing ... -
Selection and Spread of Artemisinin-Resistant Alleles in Thailand Prior to the Global Artemisinin Resistance Containment Campaign
(2015)The recent emergence of artemisinin resistance in the Greater Mekong Subregion poses a major threat to the global effort to control malaria. Tracking the spread and evolution of artemisinin-resistant parasites is critical ... -
Selection of a appropriate model for the interpretation of time-domain airborne electromagnetic data for geological mapping
(1998)A detailed analysis of the time-domain INPUT airborne electromagnetic response to a horizontal layer of variable conductivity and thickness reveals that there are combinations of conductivity and thickness of the layer for ... -
The selection of a standard STR panel for DNA profiling of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014-10-26)Abstract The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) population in Kenya is declining at an alarming rate due to habitat destruction, human-elephant conflicts and the current escalation of poaching for ivory. This study ... -

Self-assembled thin films of semiconducting zinc (II) and terbium (III) chelates for optoelectronics applications
(2003)Metallorganic thin films with semi-conducting properties, based on zinc chelation with 8,8'-dihydroxy-5,5'-bisquinoline were fabricated via a reactive self-assembly technique. An accelerated film growth was observed with ... -
Semantic analysis of Kiswahili words using the Self-Organizing Map
(University of NairobiCollege of biological and physical science, 2003)Acquisition of semantic knowledge to support natural language processing tasks is a nontrivial task, and more so if manually undertaken. This paper presents an automatic lexical acquisition method that learns semantic ... -

Sensitivity Analysis of a Transmission Interruption Model for the Soil-Transmitted Helminth Infections in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2022-03)As the world rallies toward the endgame of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) elimination by the year 2030, there is a need for efficient and robust mathematical models that would enable STH programme managers to target the ... -
The Sensitivity of East African rift lakes to climate fluctuations
(2010)Sequences of paleo-shorelines and the deposits of rift lakes are used to reconstruct past climate changes in East Africa. These recorders of hydrological changes in the Rift Valley indicate extreme lake-level variations ...
