Multimodel based Superensemble Forecasts for Short and Medium Range NWP over Various Regions of Africa
(2007)This study examines the predictability of weather over several regions in Africa using a multimodel superensemble technique developed at the Florida State University, which is an objective means of combining daily forecasts ... -
Multiple Endemic Solutions in an Epidemic Hepatitis B Model without Vertical Transmission
(University of Nairobi, 2014)This paper examines the dynamics of Hepatitis B via a Susceptible Exposed Infectious Recovered (SEIR) type epidemic model. Previous studies have shown that Hepatitis B is characterized by multiple endemic solutions, a ... -
Multiple Plantlets In Lateral Bud And Leaf Explant In Vitro Cultures Of Pineapple
(University of Nairobi, 1979-12)Plantlets were obtained from usually dormant axillary buds, excised from the crown of pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr.) and grown in culture. Multiple shoots arose from single buds grown on Murashige and Skoog medium ... -
Multiple use patterns of medicinal trees in an urban forest in Nairobi, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2016-08)Medicinal plants support the healthcare needs of the most vulnerable human populations, including the rapidly increasing urban poor in developing countries. However, little is known about the role of urban forests in ... -
Multistate modelling vertical transmission and determination of r0 using transition intensities
(University of Nairobi, 2015)In this paper multi-state modelling is used to determine the proba- bility distribution of the di erent states of vertical transmission of HIV. We start with a healthy-infected-dead three state model which we then modify ... -
Multisymplectic Geometry, Variational Integrators, and Nonlinear PDEs
(1998)This paper presents a geometric-variational approach to continuous and discrete mechanics and field theories. Using multisymplectic geometry, we show that the existence of the fundamental geometric structures as well as ... -

The Murang'a landslide, Kenya
(1993)On 15 May 1991, a landslide occurred at Gacharage Village in the Murang'a District of Kenya; it buried a house near the toe of a cliff, killing all eight residents in their sleep. The principal determining factors of the ... -
Mutagenicity Testing of Herbicides, Fungicides and Insecticides I Chromosome aberrations in Vicia faba
(University of Nairobi, 1981)The insecticides: summithion, lannate, carbicron, thiodan and kelthane, the fungicides: diathane M-45 and aladrin and the herbicides: ramrod, lasso, round up and grammoxone induce acute mitostatic effects of Vicia faba ... -
The Mutito and Ikoo faults in the Pan-African Mozambique Belt, eastern Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 1992)The Mutito and the Ikoo faults, two dextral strike-slip faults located in eastern Kenya about 160 km east of Nairobi, represent major dislocations in rocks of the late Proterozoic Pan-African Mozambique belt. They intersect ... -
Mutual inhibition in a two species chemostat-like system
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi,Department of Mathematics, Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology,, 2013)A general model of the chemostat with mutual inhibition is provided in this paper. Global behavior of the solutions of this model are discussed and we show that for two species competing for a single nutrient available ... -
Mycobiota and co-occurrence of mycotoxins in South African maize-based opaque beer.
(University of Nairobi, 2018)Beer, a beverage consumed throughout the world, is mainly derived from cereals. In this study, fungal and mycotoxin contamination, as well as the physicochemical properties of maize-based opaque beer (umqombothi) obtained ... -
Mycoflora and mycotoxins in finished fish feed and feed ingredients from smallholder farms in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2017)A total of 52 samples of finished fish feeds and ingredients were collected from smallholder farmers in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, and analyzed. Culture and molecular techniques were used to identify fungal ... -
Mycotoxin problem in Africa: Current status, implications to food safety and health and possible management strategies
(2008)Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of fungal origin and contaminate agricultural commodities before or under post-harvest conditions. They are mainly produced by fungi in the Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium ... -
Myoglobin coadsorbed on electrodes from microemulsions provides reversible electrochemical catalysis. Langmuir, 2003, 19, 6976
(Department of Chemistry, 2003)The iron heme protein myoglobin (Mb) coadsorbs with surfactant onto glassy carbon, pyrolytic graphite, and platinum electrodes from microemulsions of sodium dodecyl sulfate or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, water, oil, ... -
Myoglobin retains iron heme and near-native conformation in DDAB films prepared from pH 5 to 7 dispersions. Electrochem Commun. 2006, 8, 455
(Department of Chemistry, 2006)A recent paper [M.T. DeGroot, M. Merkx, M.J.M. Koper, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 127 (2005) 16224] suggests that iron heme is released during casting films of myoglobin (Mb) and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) on pyrolytic ... -
Myristoyl Esters of Lactose", Carbohydrate Research, 125, 253-263.
(J. Sci. TechnolDepartment of Chemistry, 1984-02)Whereas lactose did not undergo a base-catalyzed transesterification with methyl esters of fatty acids, methyl beta-lactoside reacted under identical conditions to give mono- and di-myristates. This difference in behavior ...
