ASXL1 mutations promote myeloid transformation through loss of PRC2-mediated gene repression
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of physics, 2012)Recurrent somatic ASXL1 mutations occur in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and acute myeloid leukemia, and are associated with adverse outcome. Despite the genetic and clinical data ... -
Asymptotic linear estimation of the quantile function of a location-scale Family of distributions based on selected order statistics
(JKUAT Press LtdDepartment of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2005)Abstract. Some general asymptotic methods of estimating the quantile function, Q(~), 0 < ~ < 1, of location-scale fainilies of distributions based on a few selected order statistics are considered, with applications to ... -
At site flood frequency analysis for the Nile Equatorial basins
(University of NairobiDepartment of Meteorology, 2006)The specific objective of this study was to select the best flood frequency models for fitting flood flows using tests of descriptive ability: Chi-Square test, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and analysis of tail behavior of a ... -
The Atlantic-Indian Ocean Dipole and its influence on East African seasonal rainfal
(2009)This study has used principal component analysis, composite analysis and correlation analysis to establish the sea surface temperature modes that could represent the combined influence of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans ... -
Atmospheric Controls on Precipitation Isotopes and Hydroclimate in High-elevation Regions in Eastern Africa Since the Last Glacial Maximum
(University of Nairobi, 2021)Tropical Africa experienced large changes in hydroclimatic conditions since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), ∼26.5 to 19 thousand years (ka or kyr) ago. The hydrogen isotopic composition of fossil leaf waxes (δD wax ), ... -
Atmospheric corrosion studies in Kenya: past, present and future
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Despite the regular inspections and current contingencies made in the HF plant at Necsa, an isolated case where two mild steel vessels leaked HF during operation occurred without warning. The failure of both these vessels ... -
Atmospheric divergence over equatorial East Africa and its influence on distribution of rainfall
(University of Nairobi, 2015)Spatial and temporal variability of divergence is analysed over equatorial East Africa. According to the analysis, seasonal march of upper level divergence is bimodal. There is peak upper level divergence during March-April-May ... -

An attempt to separate the long and short range forces by Gaussian method
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, 1979)In the study of phase transition problems, short range forces (SRF) play a dominant role. A constructive and rigorous study of the effects of short range forces has yet to be given. It is suggested in the present paper ... -

Attraction of Amblyomma variegatum (ticks) to the attraction-aggregation-attachment-pheromone with or without carbon dioxide
(University of Nairobi.School of Biological Sciences, 2003)The responses of adult Amblyomma variegatum ticks released from various distances to different doses of the synthetic attraction-aggregation-attachment pheromone (AAAP) (made up of orthonitrophenol, methyl salicylate and ... -
"Automated Exploration and Exploitation of Flow Injection Response Surfac
(Department of Chemistry, 1990)Three-dimensional plots of instrumental responses vs. chemical concentrations or flow parameters have been 1 obtained in an automated manner on a computer-controlled flow-injection methods development system. Consideration ... -
Automatic construction of a Kiswahili corpus from the World Wide Web
(Centre For Biotechnology & Bioinformatics Publications, 2005)A corpus is a large collection of language data either in written form or spoken form or both. It can be used to construct a language model that is used in many language technology applications. Some of these include speech ... -
Automatic Diacritic Restoration for Resource-Scarce Languages
(2007)The orthography of many resource-scarce languages includes diacritically marked characters. Falling outside the scope of the standard Latin encoding, these characters are often represented in digital language resources as ...
