Inhibition of Proinflammatory Cytokine Release by Flavones and Flavanones from the Leaves of Dracaena steudneri Engl
(University of Nairobi, 2021-03)
The leaves of Dracaena steudneri yielded 6 new flavonoids-3,5,7-trihydroxy-6-methyl-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (1: ), 5,7-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-6-methyl-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (2: ), 3,5,7-trihydroxy-6-methoxy-3',4'- ...
Handling missing data in a composite outcome with partially observed components: simulation study based on clustered paediatric routine data
(University of Nairobi, 2021)
Composite scores are useful in providing insights and trends about complex and multidimensional quality of care processes. However, missing data in subcomponents may hinder the overall reliability of a composite measure. ...
Optoelectronic property refinement of FASnI3 films for photovoltaic application
(University of Nairobi, 2021)
Tin (Sn) is a promising substitute for lead (Pb) in organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite-photovoltaic devices, but it is prone to delivering low power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) due to the poor quality of ...
