Electronics of Conjugated Polymers (I): Polyaniline
(2012)
Conducting polymers have elicited much interest among researchers because of their reasonably good
conductivity, stability, ease of preparation, affordability and redox properties compared to other
organic compounds. In ...
Cashew Volatiles Mediate Short-Range Location Responses in Pseudotheraptus wayi (Heteroptera: Coreidae)
(2013)
Pseudotheraptus wayi Brown (Heteroptera: Coreidae) is a major pest of cashew in East
Africa, but little is known about its chemical ecology. Here, we show by using behavioral assays and
chemical analysis that some ...
The structure, morphometry and vascular perfusion of the testis in the rufous sengi (Elephantulus rufescens)
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Introduction and Materials and Methods
: Sengis are testicondid, monogamous afrotherian mammals.
The testes, pattern of testicular blood vessels and anatomical disposition of caudal vena cava were examined
macroscopically ...
PRIDB: a protein–RNA interface database
(2011)
The Protein–RNA Interface Database (PRIDB) is a comprehensive database of protein–RNA interfaces extracted from complexes in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). It is designed to facilitate detailed analyses of individual protein–RNA ...
Immunological Responses of Mice After Treatment with Ocimum Americanum Hexane and Bridelia Micrantha Water Plant Extracts
(2014)
Background-The T helper 1 (TH1) and TH2 dichotomy was first shown in murine CD4+ lymphocytes clones
and these cells could be differentiated in terms of the cytokines they secrete. The TH1 subsets produce
interleukin 2 ...
Generalized relativistic dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame
(2010)
Generalized relativistic field equations have been derived for dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame interpreted as a Finsler space where events are specified by both spacetime coordinates and corresponding velocities ...
A review of allodiversity in Lake Naivasha, Kenya: Developing conservation actions to protect East African lakes from the negative impacts of alien species
(ScienceDirect, 2011)
The biodiversity of developing countries is increasingly threatened by introductions of invasive alien species. This study on the allodiversity in Lake Naivasha, Kenya reviews the pathways, establishment rates and outcomes ...
Comparison of GPS TEC variations with IRI-2007 TEC prediction at equatorial latitudes during a low solar activity (2009–2011) phase over the Kenyan region
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
This work presents an analysis of the Total Electron Content (TEC) derived from the International GNSS Service (IGS) receivers at Malindi (mal2: 2.9oS, 40.1oE, dip −26.813o), Kasarani (rcmn: 36.89oE, 1.2oS, dip −23.970o), ...
Initial Correlations Among The Levels Of Various Nutrient Species In Water From Nairobi Dam, Kenya
(2011)
Research work on Nairobi Dam, Kenya, and its tributaries has revealed that during the first trial
sampling period, the R2 value, i.e., the square of linear regression correlation coefficient was poor
between the nutrients: ...
Laparoscopic versus open distal pancreatectomy in pancreatic tumours: a case–control study
(2010)
Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy has become an increasingly used procedure in the surgical treatment of benign or borderline cystic and endocrine tumours. The feasibility and safety of this technique is well known but ...
