Electrochemical Characterization of Amoxycillin, a Broad Spectrum Antibiotic on a Bentonite Host Matrix, Using Cyclic Voltammetry
(University of Nairobi, 2014-05)
In this paper we report on the redox properties of amoxycillin , a broad spectrum anti biotic. on a bentonite modified working electrode. The CV obtained with ethanol is well defined and quasi reversible suggesting fast ...
Perceived risk factors and risk pathways of Rift Valley fever in cattle in Ijara district, Kenya: original research
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Ijara district in Kenya was one of the hotspots of Rift Valley fever (RVF) during the 2006/2007 outbreak, which led to human and animal deaths causing major economic losses. The main constraint for the control and prevention ...
Berger-Shaw inequalityfor n-Power quasinormal and w-hyponormal operators
(2014)
Every reducible operator can be decomposed into normal and completely non-normal operators. Unfortunately, there are several non normal operators which are irreducible. However, every operator whose self-commutator is ...
Phylogeny Of Suckermouth Catfishes (mochokidae: Chiloglanis) From Kenya: The Utility Of Growth Hormone Introns In Species Level Phylogenies.
(University of Nairobi, 2014-07)
African suckermouth catfishes (Mochokidae: Chiloglanis) occur in freshwater throughout tropical Africa. Specimens from all major drainages across Kenya were collected over three field seasons. Here we present a phylogeny ...
Management Of Healthcare Waste In National Teaching And Referral Hospitals In Kenya
(2014-08)
Healthcare waste management in health facilities should include quantification of all categories to support minimisation strategies. The hazardous healthcare waste categories under study, infectious, pathological, sharps ...
Development and validation of climate and ecosystem-based early malaria epidemic prediction models in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Background: Malaria epidemics remain a serious threat to human populations living in the highlands of East Africa
where transmission is unstable and climate sensitive. An existing early malaria epidemic prediction model ...
Bioethanol Production from Waste Crops and Crop Residues
(University of Nairobi, 2014-07)
Abstract: Rice straws and Husks were converted to reducing sugars by hydrolysis using concentrated sulphuric
acid followed by fermentation using bakers yeast. After fractional distillation and purification, 52 ml (87 %) ...
1-Power normal and 1-Power quasinormal operators
(2014)
In this paper, 1-Power normal and 1-Power quasinormal operators are introduced. Amongst other results, it is proved that, 1-Power normal operators have translation invariant property and that, if any operator and its adjoint ...

Impact of severe climate variability on lion home range and movement patterns in the Amboseli ecosystem, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
In this study, we were interested in understanding if droughts influence the home range of predators such as lions, and if it does, in what ways the droughts influenced lions to adjust their home range, in response to prey ...
