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 ... -

Automobile Battery Monitoring System using Arduino Uno R3 Microcontroller Board
(University of Nairobi, 2017)The car starter battery normally provides electrical power for engine cranking, lighting of accessories and feeding the engine ignition system. During any given car engine cranking event, a high current ranging from ... -
An autonomous controller for site-specific management of fixed irrigation systems
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2005-09)Distributed irrigation control (DIC) for site-specific management and/or operation of fixed irrigation systems is easier to install and maintain as compared to centralized irrigation control (CIC), but requires multiple ... -
Autotrophic carbon sources for fish communities in a tropical coastal ecosystem (Gazi bay, Kenya)
(Academic Press in association with the Estuarine and Brackish-water Sciences Association, 2009)Interlinked mangrove-seagrass ecosystems are characteristic features of many tropical coastal areas, where they act as feeding and nursery grounds for a variety of fishes and invertebrates. The autotrophic carbon sources ...
