Development and analysis of x-ray reference Radiation beam quality parameters for calibration Of diagnostic radiological equipment
(Physics, University of Nairobi., 2012-12)Kenya has about 3,000 X-ray and 30 Computed Tomography (CT) units. Most of these units (80%) are not calibrated. The remainder are calibrated by use of transfer standards whose calibration status is unknown, hence a ... -
Development and evaluation of secondary metabolite-based assay technique for species delimitation in Cercosporoid fungi
(University of NairobiCollege of biological and physical science, 1999) -
Development and field evaluation of a synthetic mosquito lure that is more attractive than humans
(2010)Disease transmitting mosquitoes locate humans and other blood hosts by identifying their characteristic odor profiles. Using their olfactory organs, the mosquitoes detect compounds present in human breath, sweat and skins, ... -
Development and optimization of the Suna trap as a tool for mosquito monitoring and control
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Background: Monitoring of malaria vector populations provides information about disease transmission risk, as well as measures of the effectiveness of vector control. The Suna trap is introduced and evaluated with regard ... -
Development and validation of climate and ecosystem-based early malaria epidemic prediction models in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Background: Malaria epidemics remain a serious threat to human populations living in the highlands of East Africa where transmission is unstable and climate sensitive. An existing early malaria epidemic prediction model ... -

Development of a Gravid Trap for Collecting Live Malaria Vectors Anopheles gambiae s.l.
(University of NairobiSchool of Biological and Physical Sciences, 2013)Background Effective malaria vector control targeting indoor host-seeking mosquitoes has resulted in fewer vectors entering houses in many areas of sub-Saharan Africa, with the proportion of vectors outdoors becoming ... -

Development of an exposure-free bednet trap for sampling Afrotropical malaria vectors
(2002)An exposure-free bednet trap (the 'Mbita trap') for sampling of Afrotropical malaria vectors was developed during preliminary studies of mosquito behaviour around human-occupied bednets. Its mosquito sampling efficiency ... -

Development of Decision Support Tool for Kenya's Coastal Zone Management
(Department of Meteorology, School of Physical Sciences, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, 2010-01-01)Coastal management is critical in view of the danger posed to coastal communition es by flooding from the sea due to storm surges, sea-level rise and Tsunamis. The low-lying Kenyan coast is vulnerable to these hazards, ... -
Development of Laser- Education and Research Towards Biophotonics at Nairobi
The paper highlights progress in research development and education capacities towards biophotonics at Nairobi We have developed Optical Physics and Photonics at undergraduate and Laser Physics and Laser Spectroscopy at ... -
Development of Leishmania major in Phlebotomus duboscqi and Sergentomyia schwetzi (Diptera: Psychodidae).
(University of Nairobi.Department of Zoology, 1990-07)The extrinsic development of Leishmania major was observed in 2 man-biting sand flies, Phlebotomus duboscqi, a known vector, and Sergentomyia schwetzi, an assumed non-vector. Flies fed on a leishmanial lesion on the nose ... -

Development of odour-baited traps for Glossina swynnertoni Austen
(1999)Three new prototype traps, (S1–S3), were developed during studies of the behavioural ecology of Glossina swynnertoni Austen in Kenya and Tanzania. The traps were compared in latin square experiments relative to the regular ... -
Development of Reflectance Spectral Libraries for Characterization of Soil Properties
(Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2002)Methods for rapid estimation of soil properties are needed for quantitative assessments of land management problems. We developed a scheme for development and use of soil spectral libraries for rapid nondestructive ...
