Need assessment for climate information on decedal timescales and longer
(Geology, 2000)Societal needs for climate information on decadal timescales is confirmed in terms of its potential value and relevance as a driver in sector decision-making, but such information is currently lacking. Predictions and ... -

The need for a flood forecasting system in Kenya (revised)
(Department of Meteorology, 2002)A double antibody enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for identification of thermostable muscle antigens of autoclaved meat samples is described. The assay differentiates heterologous thermostable muscle antigens from ... -
The need for aquatic pollution studies in Kenyan inland waters
(1986)The need for baseline data on pollution studies to the aquatic biota of Kenyan Inland waters is of profound importance. Aware of the possible contamination of the rivers and Lakes with heavy metals, pesticides and other ... -
The Negative Binomial Parameter K As A Measure Of Dispersion
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics University of Nairobi, 2010)The role of the negative binomial parameter k and index of patchiness as measures of dispersion in relation to random removal of individuals are discussed. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate analytically that the ... -
Negative magnetic anomaly associated with Mount Kenya
(1974-08-16)MOUNT Kenya is a large central volcano just south of the equator in central Kenya. It rises to a height of 5,199 m above sea level. The base of the volcano covers an area of approximately 7,000 sq km, and is roughly circular ... -

Nematode Community Structure along the Continental Slope off the Kenyan Coast, Western Indian Ocean
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2004)Metazoan meiofauna and in particular nematode densities, diversity, community structure were studied in relation to water depth (20 m, 50 m, 500 m, 1000 m and 2000 m) along four bathymetric transects in the Western Indian ... -
Nematodes as bio-indicators of physical disturbance of marine sediments following polychaete bait harvesting
(WIOMSA, 2021-04)Sediment disturbance in marine environments is caused by activities including polychaete bait harvesting, trawling, dredging, sediment erosion and treading. These activities affect the benthic communities by changing the ... -

A Neoarchean paleomagnetic pole from the Kisii Series of western Kenya: Implications for crustal mobility
(University of Nairobi, 2016)The Kisii Series lavas of western Kenya were the target of a paleomagnetic study. The Kisii Series is a volcano-sedimentary sequence dated to 2531 ± 3 Ma (U–Pb) that rests unconformably over the Mesoarchean–Neoarchean ... -
Neotectonics and extension direction of the Southern Kenya rift, lake Magadi area
(University of Nairobi, 2003)The Magadi area, located in the southern part of the Kenya Rift, is a seismically active region where rifting is still in progress. The recent tectonic activity has been investigated through a seismological survey and the ... -
A nested multivariate chemometrics based calibration strategy for direct trace biometal analysis in soft tissue utilizing Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and scattering spectrometry.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Compton scatter-modulated fluorescence and multivariate chemometric (artificial neural network (ANN) and principal component regression (PCR)) calibration strategy was explored for direct rapid trace biometals (Mn, Fe, Cu, ... -
A nested PCR assay exhibits enhanced sensitivity for detection of Theileria parva infections in bovine blood samples from carrier animals
(School of Biological Sciences, 2010)Theileria parva causes East Coast fever, an economically important disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. We describe a nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) assay for the detection of T. parva DNA in cattle blood ... -
Neurotrophic And Antileukemic Daphnane Diterpenoids From Synaptolepis Kirkii
(University of Nairobi, 2002-10)Biological assay guided fractionation of a dichloromethane extract of Synaptolepis kirkii led to the isolation of four new and five known daphnane-type diterpene orthoesters, whose structure was established by spectroscopic ...
