Sensitivity of global river discharges under Holocene and future climate conditions
(Faculty of Science, University of Nairobi, 2006)A comparative analysis of global river basins shows that some river discharges are more sensitive to future climate change for the coming century than to natural cliniate variability over the last 9000 years. In these ... -
Sensitivity Of Kenyan Ecosystems To Acidic Deposition: Validation Of The 1996 SEI Map
(Department of Chemistry College of Biological and Physical Sciences University of NairobiKenya National Academy of SciencesKenya Agricultural Research Institute National Agric. Res. Centre, 1996)Kenya is a land of contrasts, having a variety of ecological and climatic zones, and many soil types of different characteristics and composition. In view of the adequate data available, the sensitivity of Kenyan ecosystems ... -

Separation of compounds from gasifier tars by extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide
(ElsevierDepartment of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 1989)Coal gasification tars were extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide at different temperatures and pressures, and the properties of the extraction residues (pitches) were determined by elemental analysis, size-exclusion ... -

Sequence and geochronology of the Kenya rift volcanics
(University of Nairobi, 1971)The Upper Cenozoic volcanic formations associated with the Kenya rift valley are divided into seven main stratigraphic groups representing widespread ‘plateau’ formations, and a number of central volcano groups of more ... -
Sequential extraction as novel approach to compare 12 medicinal plants from Kenya regarding their potential to release Chromium, Manganese, Copper, and Zinc.
(University of Nairobi, 2018)This study is focusing on a novel approach to screen a large number of medicinal plants from Kenya regarding their contents and availability of selected metals potentially relevant for treatment of diabetes patients. For ... -
Sequential surveys for the pine woolly aphid, Pineus pini (L.) Homoptera: Adelgidae in Kenya
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi,, 1980)Sequential survey procedures are described from Kenya for classifying the damage caused by the aphid Pineus pini (Gmel.) to Pinus patula. The criteria used are the degree of needle stunting caused by a given number of ... -

Serodiagnosis of bovine cysticercosis by detecting live Taenia saginata cysts using a monoclonal antibody-based antigen-ELISA
(2002)An ante mortem antigen-ELISA-based diagnosis of Taenia saginata cysticercosis was studied in artificially (n = 24) and naturally (n = 25) infected cattle with the objective of further validating the assay as a field ... -
Serological evidence for long-term epstein–barr virus reactivation in children living in a holoendemic malaria region of Kenya†
(College of Physical and Biological Sciences, 2009)To study the long term the effects of chronic exposure to P. falciparum malaria on Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation in children, EBV-specific antibody levels were measured in a cross-sectional survey of two groups of ... -

Serotype and genetic diversity of human rhinovirus strains that circulated in Kenya in 2008
(2016)Background Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are a well-established cause of the common cold and recent studies indicated that they may be associated with severe acute respiratory illnesses (SARIs) like pneumonia, asthma, and ... -
Serum 2-hydroxyglutarate levels predict isocitrate dehydrogenase mutations and clinical outcome in acute myeloid leukemia
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of physics, 2013)Cancer-associated isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations produce the metabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), but the clinical utility of 2HG has not been established. We studied whether 2HG measurements in acute myeloid ... -

The shared frailty model and the power for heterogeneity tests in multicenter Trials
(University of Nairobi, 2002-09)Heterogeneity between centers in multicenter trials with time to event outcome can be modeled by the frailty proportional hazards model. The majority of the different approaches that have been used to fit frailty models ...
