Human impact on lake ecosystems: the case of Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(College of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2007)Lake Naivasha is a wetland of national and international importance. However, it is under constant anthropogenic pressures, which include the quest for socioeconomic development within the lake ecosystem itself as well ... -
Human Impacts on Two Wetlands in the Nairobi National Park, Kenya
(2012-03)Environmental gradients in physico-chemical properties and distance to human settlements at two wetlands (around Hyena and Nalogomon dams) in the Nairobi National Park were studied. Ordination showed that over 84% of the ... -
Human Skin Microbiota And Their Volatiles As Odour Baits For The Malaria Mosquito Anopheles Gambiae S.S
(University of Nairobi, 2011-05)Host seeking by the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) is mainly guided by volatile chemicals present in human odours. The skin microbiota plays an important role in the production ... -
The humoral defense system in tsetse: differences in response due to age, sex and antigen types.
(University of Nairobi.School of Biological Sciences, 1988)Inoculation of live Escherichia coli into tsetse flies, Glossina morsitans morsitans, stimulated a higher antibacterial immune response in females than in males. It increased with age in females from emergence to approximately ... -
A Hybrid Algorithm for Detecting Web Based Applications Vulnerabilities
(2016)Web vulnerability scanners (WVS) are tools for discovering vulnerabilities in a web application. However, they are not 100% accurate. In this paper we develop a hybrid algorithm for detecting web based applications ... -
Hybridized Robust Chemometrics Approach for Direct Rapid Determination of Trace Biometals in Tissue Utilizing Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence and Scattering (Edxrfs) Spectrometry
(University of Nairobi, 2018)Direct rapid energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence and scattering (EDXRFS) analysis of trace biometals in soft body tissues is important because it has an immense potential for biomedical applications. Unfortunately this ... -

Hydrogeochemical analysis and evaluation of water quality in Lake Chala catchment area, Kenya
(2013)Lake Chala is a transboundary fresh water resource with no surface water inflow or outflow and is located in the southwestern part of Kenya on the Kenya-Tanzania border. The lake catchment area is bound by longitudes 370 ... -
Hydrologic Analysis For River Nyando Using SWAT
(University of NairobiDepartment of Meteorology, 2011)The Nyando River is one of the major Rivers in the Lake Victoria Basin. It drains parts of Nandi, Kericho and Nyando districts. It has a catchment area of about 3600km−2 of Western Kenya and an average discharge of ... -
Hydrological Response and Complex Impact Pathways of the 2015/2016 El Niño in Eastern and Southern Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2018)AbstractThe 2015/2016 El Niño has been classified as one of the three most severe on record. El Niñoteleconnections are commonly associated with droughts in southern Africa and high precipitation ineastern Africa. Despite ... -
Hydrology across scales : sensitivity of East African lakes to climate changes
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2011)The lakes of the East African Rift System (EARS) have been intensively studied to better understand the influence of climate change on hydrological systems. The exceptional sensitivity of these rift lakes, however, is both ... -
Hydromagnetic Steady Flow of Liquid Between Two Parallel Infinite Plates Under Applied Pressure Gradient when Upper Plate is Moving with Constant Velocity Under the Influence of Inclined Magnetic Field
(2014)This paper studies steady laminar flow of viscous incompressible fluid between twoparallel infinite plates when a constant pressure gradient is imposed on the system and upperplate is also moving with constant velocity ... -
