Mortality Projection: Curve Fitting And Linear Regression
(School of Mathematics, 2011)This study was aimed at predicting future mortality rates given two main scenarios. The first is in the case where there is a body of mortality tables from the past and the second is in the case where such a database ... -
Mosquito host preferences affect their response to synthetic and natural odour blends
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Background The anthropophilic malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (hereafter termed Anopheles gambiae) primarily takes blood meals from humans, whereas its close sibling Anopheles arabiensis is more ... -
Mount elgon bat virus: A hitherto undescribed virus from Rhinolophus hildebrandtii eloquens K. Anderson
(Department of Zoology, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1969)A hitherto undescribed virus was isolated from salivary glands of a fruitbat of the speciesRhinolophus hildebrandtii eloquens (K. Andersen). Some of its properties are discussed. Of the viruses, isolated from organs of ... -
Movement reveals reproductive tactics in male elephants
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Long-term bio-logging has the potential to reveal how movements, and hence life-history trade-offs, vary over a lifetime. Reproductive tactics in particular may vary as individuals' trade-off current investment versus ... -
Movements Of Airglow Structures Within The Intertropical Arc Observed From Southern Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1977)6300 Å airglow observations from Olorgesailie, Kenya (1.6°S, 36.4°E) show two types of movement within the southern intertropical red arc. The arc moves as a whole equatorwards at a rate of 3–4° per hour before local ... -
Moving cheaply: energetics of walking in the african elephant
(Institute of Animal Physiology and Biotechnology ResearchDepartment of Biology, Louisiana State UniversityDepartment of Biology, University of Ottawa, 1995)Large animals have a much better fuel economy than small ones, both when they rest and when they run. At rest, each gram of tissue of the largest land animal, the African elephant, consumes metabolic energy at 1/20 the ... -
Multi-agent systems scheduler and open grid computing standards
(School of Computing and Informatics, 2000)Grid computers are integrated environments of software and hardware that are inter-connected and allow sharing of computing resources. A user of a grid computer has the impression of working with a single powerful computer. ... -

A Multi-dimensional Model for Determining Susceptibility to Unintentional Insider Threats: the Case of Social Engineering Through Phishing
(University of Nairobi, 2019)Many of the information security incidents that make headlines around the world are perpetrated by authorized users of the information systems. These users are commonly referred to as insiders. The Unintentional Insider ... -
Multi-type step-wise group screening designs with unequal a-priori probabilities
(JKUAT Press LtdSchool of Mathematics, University of Nairobi,, 2005)In this paper, we discuss multi-type step-wise group screening in which group-factors contain differing number of factors. We describe a procedure for grouping the factors in the absence of concrete prior information, ... -

Multicomponent Polymers of Poly(Lactic Acid) Macromonomers with Methacrylate Terminal and Copolymers of Poly(2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate
(1996)Poly(lactic acid) macromonomers with methacrylate terminal functionality have been synthesized from the cyclic dimer of lactic acid (referred to as lactide) with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) as initiator and stannous ... -
Multielemental Analysis of Limestone and Soil Samples of Kitui South (Kenya) Limestone Deposits
(School of Physical Sciences, 2012)The results of analysis of heavy metal in limestone and soil samples from the limestone deposit areas of Kitui South, Kenya were reported in this paper. The analysis was carried out to assess the environmental impact of ... -
