Right atrial electrocardiography: a technique for the placement of central venous catheters for chemotherapy or intravenous nutrition
(1994)Central venous catheters used for chemotherapy are usually sited so that the catheter tip lies in the superior vena cava. This study evaluated right atrial electrocardiography as a method of accurately placing the catheter ... -
Ring Opening of 1,5-Dioxaspiro[3.2]hexanes: Selective Preparation of alpha-Heterofunctionalized- beta'-hydroxy Ketones or 2,2-Disubstituted Oxetanes
(Department of Chemistry, 1999)Abstract.................................. Image 2-Methyleneoxetanes have been converted into 1,5-dioxaspiro[3.2]hexanes with dimethyldioxirane. Reaction of the dioxaspirohexanes with a range of heteroatom nucleophiles, ... -
Risk factors for the incursion, spread and persistence of the foot and mouth disease virus in Eastern Rwanda
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Background: Identification of risk factors is crucial in Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) control especially in endemic countries. In Rwanda, almost all outbreaks of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) have started in Eastern ... -
River flood hazard management in the netherlands - a reference for Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 2000)Throughout history man has been attracted to the land adjacent to rivers. The soil is normally fertile, there is a constant water supply, it is a cheap means of transportation etc. Settlements along or beside rivers are ... -

A roadmap for the adoption of government e-payments in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Analogous to the Motorists roadmap that shows the roads, directions and distances to a destination of a given region [1]. A roadmap in this context is a detailed guideline that answers the “why-what-how" questions and lay ... -
A robust liquid chromatographic method for confirmation of drug stability of azithromycin in bulk samples, tablets and suspensions
(University of Nairobi, 2017)A simple, isocratic and robust RP-HPLC method for the analysis of azithromycin was developed, validated and applied for the analysis of bulk samples, tablets and suspensions. The optimum chromatographic conditions for ... -
A robust magnetic resonance imaging method based on compressive sampling and clustering of sparsifying coefficients
(Kiragu H, Kamucha G, Mwangi E. A Robust Magnetic Resonance Imaging Method Based on Compressive Sampling and Clustering of Sparsifying Coefficients. Limassol, Cyprus ; 2016., 2016)This paper presents a novel and robust method for medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The proposed method utilizes the sparsity as well as clustering of the image coefficients in the wavelet transform sparsifying ... -
The role of airborne fungal spores from garbage dumps in respiratory diseases.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Botany, University of Nairobi, 1996)In recent years, there has been a growing global, regional and local concern about the potential health hazards associated with air pollution. Great attention has so far been paid to pollution associated with oxides of ... -
The Role of Aspect Ratio in the Elastic Modulus-Porosity Relationship of a Triaxial Porcelain
(School of Physical Sciences, 2000)The effect of pore geometry on the elastic modulus–porosity relationship of a triaxial porcelain has been studied using the experimentally measured aspect ratio as a fitting parameter. The experimental elastic modulus data ... -
Role of bismuth and substrate temperature on the optical properties of some flash evaporated se<sub>100-x</sub> bi<sub>x</sub> glassy system
(University of Nairobi, 2015)Chalcogenide glasses are very important in the modern technology especially selenium-based. These glasses are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation useful in the infrared optics. The study investigated the effect of ... -
