Generalized relativistic dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame
(2010)Generalized relativistic field equations have been derived for dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame interpreted as a Finsler space where events are specified by both spacetime coordinates and corresponding velocities ... -
The genesis and tectonics of the N.E. Nyanza rift valley, Kenya
(1983)This study examines the genesis and tectonics of N.E. Nyanza rift valley in an attempt to understand its cause and origin. The phonolite flow patterns were determined to be aligned in an east to west and northeast to ... -
Genetic Algorithm Based Model in Text Steganography
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Steganography is an ancient art. It is used for security in open systems. It focuses on hiding secret messages inside a cover medium. The most important property of a cover medium is the amount of data that can be stored ... -
Genetic and morphological analyses indicate high population mixing in the endangered cichlid Alcolapia flock of East Africa
(2013)Alcolapia is a minor genus of small-bodied, polymorphic cichlids inhabiting the lagoons and hot springs surrounding the soda lakes Natron (largely in Tanzania) and Magadi (Kenya). Three Alcolapia species are present ... -
Genetic and Toxigenic Variability within Aspergillus flavus Population Isolated from Maize in Two Diverse Environments in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2018)Aspergillus flavus is the main producer of carcinogenic aflatoxins in agricultural commodities such as maize. This fungus occurs naturally on crops, and produces aflatoxins when environmental conditions are favorable. The ... -
Genetic characterisation of plasmodium falciparum isolates with deletion of the PFHRP2 and/or PFHRP3 genes in Colombia: The amazon region, a challenge for Malaria diagnosis and control
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Most Plasmodium falciparum-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) target histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2). However, P. falciparumisolates with deletion of the pfhrp2 gene and its homolog gene, pfhrp3, have been detected. ... -
Genetic divergence of Chikungunya virus plaque variants from the Comoros Island (2005).
(University of Nairobi, 2015-08)Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) from a human sample collected during the 2005 Chikungunya outbreak in the Comoros Island, showed distinct and reproducible large (L2) and small (S7) plaques which were characterized in this study. ... -
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Busseola segeta Bowden (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae): A case study of host use diversification in Guineo-Congolian rainforest relic area, Kenya
(School of Biological Sciences, 2012)Abstract: Habitat modification and fragmentation are considered as some of the factors that drive organism distribution and host use diversification. Indigenous African stem borer pests are thought to have diversified their ... -
Genetic diversity of the African wild rice (Oryza longistaminata Chev. et Roehr) from Ethiopia as revealed by SSR markers
(2013)Data from microsatellite markers have been extensively used for both in situ and ex situ conservation strategies by determining the level of genetic diversity of natural populations that can widen the gene pool of cultivated ... -
The genetic identify of Ceratopogon imperfectus (Culicoides imperfectus Geot)
(University of Nairobi,School of Biological Sciences, 1973) -
Genetic relatedness among Fusarium species isolated from Taita Taveta Region, Kenya
(2009)Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arthmetic mean (UPGMA) cluster analysis using computer package NTSYS-pc. Jaccard’s similarity coefficients ranged from 0.257 to 0.583 among the Fusarium species studied indicating high ... -
A genetic sexing strain of Anopheles albimnus

Genetic similarity among Cercospora apii-group species detected by PCR/RFLP analyses of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS).
(University of NairobiCollege of biological and physical science, 2000) -
Genetic structuring in the spotted gum complex (genus Corymbia, section Politaria)

Genetic variation in the predacious mite, Amblyseius swirskii ( Acari: Phytoseiidae): Analysis of specific mitochondrial and nuclear sequences.
(University of NairobiSchool of Biological and Physical Sciences, 2004)Patterns of polymorphism of two DNA fragments with contrasted modes of evolution, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), were used to study population structure and taxonomy of the predacious mite, ... -
Genetic variation in wild Anopheles arabiensis Patton of Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya
(Cambridge University PressDepartment of Botany, University of Nairobi, 1987)Electrophoretic variation was determined at eight enzyme loci in Anopheles arabiensis from four villages in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya. Seven loci had polymorphic alíeles of which at least two were common. Pooled allele ... -
Genetic variation in wild Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wied), from Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Botany, University of Nairobi, 1990) -
Genetic Variations and their Association with Diseases among Kenyan Ethnic Populations
(University of Nairobi, 2010)Human populations are polymorphic for many loci. The inhabitants of different regions of the earth can be characterised on the basis of the relative gene frequencies. These gene frequencies have been associated with certain ...
