A survey of heavy metal pollution from automotive emmissions in Kenya's urban Environment
(2011)
Heavy metal (Pb, Cd, Cu, Znand Cr ) concentrations have been
determined on roadside surface soil samples obtained from Nairobi and
Mombasa cities. The analysis was done using two analytical techniques;
Atomic Absorption ...
Insulin-secretagogue, antihyperlipidemic and other protective effects of gallic acid isolated from Terminalia bellerica Roxb. in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
(University of Nairobi, 2011-01)
Diabetes mellitus causes derangement of carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism which eventually leads to a number of secondary complications. Terminalia bellerica is widely used in Indian medicine to treat various ...
Evaluating the Impact of Daily Net Radiation Models on Grass and Alfalfa-Reference Evapotranspiration Using the Penman-Monteith Equation in a Subhumid and Semiarid Climate Read More: http://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061/(ASCE)IR.1943-4774.0000278
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
Net radiation (Rn) is the main driving force of evapotranspiration (ET) and is a key input variable to the Penman-type combination and energy balance equations. However, Rn is not commonly measured. This paper analyzes the ...
An Investigation of Thermal Shock in Porous Clay Ceramics
(2011)
The thermal shock resistance of porous ceramic materials is often characterized by the Hasselman parameters. However, in other
scenarios,the room-temperature residual strengths after thermal shock are also used to quantify ...
Performance Of Extended Shuttleworth-wallace Model For Estimating And Partitioning Of Evapotranspiration In A Partial Residue-covered Subsurface Drip-irrigated Soybean Field
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
Estimation of actual evapotranspiration (ET), especially its partitioning into plant transpiration (T) and soil evaporation (E), in agricultural fields is important for effective soil water management and conservation and ...
Simulation of Coupled Heat and Mass Transfer in Granular Porous Media: Application to the Drying of Wheat
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
A mathematical model was developed to simulate the deep-bed convective drying of Algerian wheat and barley using the characteristics of the selected local varieties. The nonequilibrium model, composed of a system of partial ...
E-governance assessment framework
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
An inventory of medicinal plants that the people of Nandi use to treat malaria.
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
In Kenya, most people use traditional medicine and medicinal plants to treat many diseases including malaria. Malaria is one of the major diseases burden worldwide affecting more than 90 countries inhabited by 2.4 billion ...
