Tacit knowledge transfer
(Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Nairobi, 2010)This paper seeks to explore tacit knowledge in the light of knowledge transfer. Specifically it looks at the technique of mentoring as a process through which this highly personalized knowledge can be replicated in any ... -
The Taita Hills forest remnants: a disappearing world heritage
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2000) -
The Taphonomic Characteristics in Determining Wildlife Species Distribution and Mortality in Meru National Park, Kenya
(School of Biological Sciences, 2011) -
Target-similarity search using Plasmodium falciparum proteome identifies approved drugs with anti-malarial activity and their possible targets.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Malaria causes about half a million deaths annually, with Plasmodium falciparum being responsible for 90% of all the cases. Recent reports on artemisinin resistance in Southeast Asia warrant urgent discovery of novel drugs ... -
Taxis assays measure directional movement of mosquitoes to olfactory cues
(School of Biological Sciences, 2013)Background Malaria control methods targeting indoor-biting mosquitoes have limited impact on vectors that feed and rest outdoors. Exploiting mosquito olfactory behaviour to reduce blood-feeding outdoors might be a ... -
Taxon-related Diversity Patterns From The Continental Shelf To The Slope: A Case Study On Nematodes From The Western Indian Ocean
(University of Nairobi, 2011-12)A study was carried out across the continental shelf and slope in the Western Indian Ocean along the Kenyan margin to unravel depth-related species diversity patterns portrayed by different nematode families. Sediment ... -
Taxonomy of the Fungus causing speckling disease of Bananas in Kenya
(University of NairobiCollege of biological and physical science, 1994) -
Tectonic Setting And Geochemical Characterisation Of Neoproterozoic Volcanics And Granitoids From The Adobha Belt,
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences, 2000)The Adobha Belt consists largely of metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary sequences and syntectonic granitoids. Identification of the ancient tectonic setting of the belt has been attempted using trace element (including ... -
Tectono -Magmatic emplacement of the Kenyan Granite Greenstones: Geochemical evidence from the Maseno area, western Kenya.
(University of Nairobicollege of biological and physical science, 1992) -
Teleconnection between Seasonal Rainfall over East Africa and Global Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
(Department of Meteorology, University of Nairobi, 1988)In this study, global sea surface temperature anomalies within ±300 latitudes of the equator were correlated with the time series of the major rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) modes of the seasonal rainfall ... -
Temperature and heat in informal settlements in Nairobi.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Nairobi, Kenya exhibits a wide variety of micro-climates and heterogeneous surfaces. Paved roads and high-rise buildings interspersed with low vegetation typify the central business district, while large neighborhoods of ... -
Temperature dependence of the Hg 6s6p(3P0→3P1) transition induced by nitrogen
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 1987)The rate coefficient of the process Hg 6s6p(3P0→3P1) induced by nitrogen collisions has been measured over the range 285 to 340 K. The temperature variation closely matches that of the concentration of N2(v = 1). The results ... -
Temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of a grog modified Kenyan kaolinite refractory
(Department of Physics. University of Nairobi., 2004)Thermal conductivity values, in the temperature range 300 - 1200 K, have been measured in air and at atmospheric pressure for a Kenyan kaolinite refractory with 0% - 50% grog proportions. The experimental thermal conductivity ... -
Temperature-dependent feeding interactions between two invasive fishes competing through interference and exploitation
(University of Nairobi, 2012-06)Context-dependent ecological interactions between invasive species are important in determining the outcomes of their introductions. The consequences of competitive interactions between the Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus ... -
Temperature-dependent phenology of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae): Simulation and visualization of current and future distributions along the Eastern Afromontane.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)There is a scarcity of laboratory and field-based results showing the movement of the diamondback moth (DBM) Plutella xylostella (L.) across a spatial scale. We studied the population growth of the diamondback moth (DBM) ... -
Temporal Detection Patterns of the African Clawless Otter Aonyx capensis (Schinz, 1821) in the Laikipia Plateau of Central Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 2014)The detection time of the African clawless Otter along its habitat was studied from January 2013- April 2013 over 720 trap nights. Camera traps were set up in six sites of different altitudes along the riparian area of the ... -
Temporal fluctuations of seasonal rainfall patterns in East Africa
(Department of Meteorology, University of Nairobi, 1984)In order to investigate temporal fluctuations in the seasonal rainfall over East Africa, monthly rainfall records from about 100 stations during" the period 1931 -75 were subjected to harmonic analysis on the yearly ... -
Temporal genetic differentiation in Glossina pallidipes tsetse fly populations in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)BACKGROUND: Glossina pallidipes is a major vector of both Human and Animal African Trypanosomiasis (HAT and AAT) in Kenya. The disease imposes economic burden on endemic regions in Kenya, including south-western Kenya, ... -
Temporal patterns of duetting in African barbets
(1970)Four species of African barbets (Lybius torquatus, L. vieilloti, Trachyphonus darnaudii, and T. erythrocephalus) regularly sing in duet. Duets consist of phrases repeated at very regular intervals; in L. torquatus and L. ... -
