Linkages between global sea surface temperatures and decadal rainfall variability over Eastern Africa region
(Royal Meteorological SocietyMeteorology, 2012)Linkages between dominant spatio-temporal decadal rainfall variability modes and the global sea surface temperature (SST) modes are investigated over East Africa region for the period 1950–2008. Singular value ... -
Linkages between the Indian Ocean Dipole and East African Seasonal Rainfall Anomalies
(University of Nairobi, Department of MeteorologyGeology, 2008)This study was designed to understand the nature of the relationship between the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) index and seasonal rainfall in East Africa using statistical approaches. The statistical methods used in this ... -
Linking Climate Information to Livelihood Strategies through ICTs: the Role of Integrated Sustainable Livelihoods Framework
(University of Nairobi, 2017)In this paper, we propose that an Integrated Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (I-SLF), that mainstreams ICT-driven climate information, provides the ideal means by which such information may be leveraged to ensure sustainable ... -
Lipoproteins and lipid mobilization in Locusta

Lithological Influences on Occurrence of High-Fluoride Waters in The Central Kenya Rift
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Within the East African rift, groundwater recharge results from the complex interplay of geology, land cover, geomorphology, climate and on going volcano-tectonic processes across a broad range of spatial and temporal ... -
Lithology, colour and mineralogy of pelagic sediments from the Romanche fracture zone (RFZ) in the equatorial atlantic
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1992)Sediment cores from the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ) in the equatorial Atlantic have been described visually and microscopically as well as analyzed by X-ray diffraction techniques in order to study the main controls on ... -

A lithostratigraphic framework for the Migori segment of the Archean Nyanza greenstone belt, Tanzanian Craton, East Africa
(university of Nairobicbps, 1992) -
Lithostratigraphy, provenance and facies distribution of Archaean cratonic successions in western Kenya
(Elsevier,Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1995)The greenstone belt of the Tanzanian shield in Western Kenya is composed of two supracrustal successions, which form the Nyanzian and Kavirondian Groups. The Nyanzian Group at the base is composed of mafic tholeiitic ... -
Lithostratigrapy and distribution of Pleistocene sediments of the Munyu wa Gicheru Formation in South Kenya Rift Valley
(ElsevierDepartment of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1999)Pleistocene sediments of the eastern African Rift Valley have been subjected to intensive study over the last few years, because they are very useful in the study of palæolakes, climatic changes and the study of lacustrine ... -
Litter Fall Dynamics of Restored Mangroves (Rhizophora mucronata Lamk. and Sonneratia alba Sm.) in Kenya
(2014)Mangrove forests are active carbon sinks and important for nutrient cycling in coastal ecosystems. Restoration of degraded mangrove habitats enhances return of ecosystem goods and services, including carbon sequestration. ... -
Livestock Farmers’ Perception on Generation of Cattle Wastebased Biogas Methane: the Case of Embu West District, Kenya
(2014)Perception of livestock farmers on the generation of cattle waste-based biogas methane was evaluated in this study. The study was carried out in Embu West district in Kenya. A random sampling technique was used to gather ... -

Localization of immunogenic antigens on midgut of the human body louse Pediculus humanus humanus (Anoplura: Pediculidae)
(Department of Biochemistry, 1996)Immunogenic midgut antigens of the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus L., were localized using rabbit antisera against a louse-midgut extract followed by a 2nd antibody conjugated to either fluorescein or colloidal ... -

A logistic regression model to identify key determinants of poverty using demographic and health survey data
(2010)This study examines the determinants of poverty in Kenya. While most of the studies done on poverty determinants rely on the income, expenditure and consumption data, The data used in this study comes from the Demographic ... -

Long-term impacts of poaching on relatedness, stress physiology, and reproductive output of adult female african elephants.
(University of Nairobi.Reproductive Biology Unit, 2001-12)Widespread poaching prior to the 1989 ivory ban greatly altered the demographic structure of matrilineal African elephant (Loxodonta africana) family groups in many populations by decreasing the number of old, adult females. ... -
