Natural Products from Plant Diversity and their Potential in Management of Neglected Diseases
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi,, 2011)Conventionally, neglected diseases are considered as a group of 13 infectious diseases that are . endemic in the low income populations in the tropical developing world. They can be classified as those caused by trypanosomal ... -
Natural radioactivity and external dose in the high background radiation area of Lambwe East, Southwestern Kenya
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2012)Absorbed dose rates around the North and South Ruri hills in Lambwe east, southwestern Kenya were measured using survey meters. The area lies roughly between latitudes 0°30′S and 1°00′S. It is bounded on the east by longitude ... -
Natural Radioactivity in Some Building Materials in Kenya and the Contributions to the Indoor External Doses
(1997)Against a background of growing concern over the health risks associated with exposure to natural sources of radiation, a study has been carried out in Kenya in which the activity concentrations of the major radionuclides ... -

Nature of dormancy in seeds of Sesamum latifolium (Gillet
(Department of botany, University of Nairobi, 2010)Sesamum latifolium is a progenitor of the cultivated Sesamum indicum. The plant has medicinal value, is used as forage, and is a potential donor of genes for crop improvement. The seeds of this species do not germinate ... -
Near Real-time Tropospheric Water Vapour Profiling Using A Ground-based GPS Receiver
(University of Nairobi, 2017)This article presents a remote-sensing tool employing an artificial neural networks algorithm for near real-time determination of the relative humidity (RH) profile above a site using global positioning system (GPS) data ... -

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 ... -
