Modelling Dispersion Using Finite Mixture Of PoissoN
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics University of Nairobi, 2011)The negative binomial distribution is a versatile distribution in describing dispersion. The negative binomial parameter k is considered as a dispersion parameter. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that filnite mixture ... -
Modelling The Dynamics Of Migrations For Large Herbivore Populations In The Amboseli National Park, Kenya
(Universty of Nairobi, 2013-04)The spread of human activity, settlement and land fragmentation threatens the migrations of large migratory ungulates in Africa. Modelling the migrations gives conservationists a tool for building scenarios of the threats ... -
Modelling the vertical distribution of insects
(University of Nairobi.School of Mathematics., 1996)The Weibull distribution has been used to model the vertical distribution of insects under a number of activities: natural flight without any artificial stimulus, resting behaviour, and response to trapping involving colour ... -

Modulation of partially purified rat liver mitochondrial carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I using two glutamic acid analogues
(University of Nairobi, 2014-10)Mitochondrial c arbamoyl ph osphate synthetase I (CPS I) i s the first enzyme involved in urea biosynthesis in ureotelic mammals and has an absolute requirement for N - acetyl - L - glutamate (NAG) or ... -
Molecular characterization and identification of biocontrol isolates of Trichoderma harzianum from Embu district, Kenya
(School of Biological Sciences, 2011)Species in the genus Trichoderma are important commercial source of several enzymes, biofungicides and growth promoters. The most common biological control agents of the genus are strains of T. harzianum, T .viride and T. ... -
Molecular detection and characterization of potentially new Babesia and Theileria species/variants in wild felids from Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Biochemistry, 2012-10)Piroplasms frequently infect domestic and wild carnivores. At present, there is limited information on the occurrence and molecular identity of these tick-borne parasites in wild felids in Kenya. In 2009, a pair of captive ... -
Molecular Epidemiology of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Outbreak, Tumbes, Peru, 2010–2012
(2015)During 2010–2012, an outbreak of 210 cases of malaria occurred in Tumbes, in the northern coast of Peru, where no Plasmodium falciparum malaria case had been reported since 2006. To identify the source of the parasite ... -
Molecular evolution of a central region containing B cell epitopes in the gene encoding the p67 sporozoite antigen within a field population of Theileria parva
(2015)Protective immunity induced by the infective sporozoite stage of Theileria parva indicates a potential role for antibodies directed against conserved serologically reactive regions of the major sporozoite surface antigen ... -
Molecular Investigation into a Malaria Outbreak in Cusco, Peru: Plasmodium falciparum BV1 Lineage is Linked to a Second Outbreak in Recent Times
(2016)In November 2013, a Plasmodium falciparum malaria outbreak of 11 cases occurred in Cusco, southern Peru, where falciparum malaria had not been reported since 1946. Although initial microscopic diagnosis reported only ... -
