Interpretation of small-modulation photocurrent transients in dye-sensitized solar cells – A film thickness study
(Department of Physics, College of Biological and Physical sciences, University of Nairobi, 2010)Electron transport in dye-sensitized solar cells with varying mesoporous TiO2 film thicknesses was investigated using experimental and computational methods. More specifically, photocurrent transients resulting from ... -

The interspecific relationships of Juncus effusus and J. conglomeratus in Britain
(University of Nairobi, 1968)Juncus effusus and J. conglomeratus appear to be specifically distinct in the British Isles; J. conglomeratus is the rarer species. Their principal diagnostic features are given. Evidence is presented to show that the ... -
Intima – media thickness of left anterior descending coronary artery in a Black Kenyan population: correlation with morphological feature
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Background: Intima-Media thickness is an acknowledged surrogate marker for predicting and profiling of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It displays geographical and ethnic variation but is seldom reported among black ... -
Intraseasonal characteristics of wet and dry spells over Kenya
(Department of Meteorology, 2008)Results of four years' studies from a number of hospitals in Kenya have shown that nosocomial infections in burns units are due to Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Through chromosomal DNA and plasmid ... -
Intraseasonal oscillations of the East African long rains and their connection with MJO activity over the Indian Ocean
(2005)Our understanding of the East African long rains (March-May) variability remains relatively poor. Interannual variations are quite small compared to intraseasonal vari- ations. An analysis of pentad rainfall and OLR data ... -
Intraspecific competition in larvae of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) within maize grains
(School of Biological Sciences, 1998)The effects of egg clutch size on development and survivorship of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Col.: Bostrichidae) on maize were measured in the laboratory using single grains of the white maize ... -
The introduced Micropterus salmoides in an equatorial lake: a paradoxical loser in an invasion meltdown scenario?
(Springer NetherlandsSchool of Biological Sciences, University of NairobiDepartment of Biology, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK, 2010)Micropterus salmoides is a North American piscivorous fish on the IUCN list of 100 of the world’s worst invasive alien species. Introduced into Lake Naivasha (Kenya) in 1929, their current population abundance is significantly ... -

An inventory of medicinal plants that the people of Nandi use to treat malaria.
(University of Nairobi, 2011)In Kenya, most people use traditional medicine and medicinal plants to treat many diseases including malaria. Malaria is one of the major diseases burden worldwide affecting more than 90 countries inhabited by 2.4 billion ... -
Investigating the Homogeneity of Monthly Rainfall Records in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Homogenization of climate data is of major importance because non-climatic factors make avail-able data unrepresentative of the actual climate variation, and thus the conclusions of climatic and hydrological studies are ... -
Investigating The Influence Of Synoptic-scale Monsoonal Winds And Mesoscale Circulations On Diurnal Weather Patterns Over Kenya Using A Mesoscale Numerical Model
(University of Nairobi, 1996)The Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) developed at Colorado State University (CSU) was used to investigate the influence of the large-scale monsoonal winds and the mesoscale local circulations on the diurnal ... -
