(University of Nairobi, 2016)
The introduction of Web 2.0 tools has led to enhanced communication and collaboration in both social and academic environments. The focus of this study was to identify factors influencing the use of Web 2.0 tools in ...
Numerical simulation of vibration of horizontal cylinder induced by progressive waves
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Maritime structures often comprise cylinders of small diameter relative to the prevailing wave length. This paper describes the direct forcing immersed boundary simulation of the hydroelastic behaviour of a rigid, horizontal ...
Anatomical features of renal artery in a black Kenyan population: Correlation with markers of atherosclerosis
(2016)
Knowledge of anatomical features of the renal artery is important in prediction, management and control of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. These features show population variations but data from black African ...
A robust magnetic resonance imaging method based on compressive sampling and clustering of sparsifying coefficients
(Kiragu H, Kamucha G, Mwangi E. A Robust Magnetic Resonance Imaging Method Based on Compressive Sampling and Clustering of Sparsifying Coefficients. Limassol, Cyprus ; 2016., 2016)
This paper presents a novel and robust method for medical Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The proposed method utilizes the sparsity as well as clustering of the image coefficients in the wavelet transform sparsifying ...
Effects of antioxidants on oxidation and storage stability of Croton megalocarpus biodiesel
(Springer, 2016)
The effects of antioxidants and storage on oxidation stability of croton biodiesel and its blends with petro-diesel were determined using PetroOxy equipment. The biodiesel and blends were kept in Pyrex reagent bottles and ...
Radiological Mapping of the Alkaline Intrusive Complex of Jombo, South Coastal Kenya by In-Situ Gamma-Ray Spectrometry
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Carbonatites and alkaline intrusive complexes are rich in a variety of mineral deposits such as rare earth elements
(REEs), including Nb, Zr and Mn. These are often associated with U and Th bearing minerals, including ...

(2016)
In November 2013, a Plasmodium falciparum malaria outbreak of 11 cases occurred in Cusco, southern Peru, where falciparum malaria had not been reported since 1946. Although initial microscopic diagnosis reported only ...
Spatially variable risk factors for malaria in a geographically heterogeneous landscape, western Kenya: an explorative study
(2016)
Background
Large reductions in malaria transmission and mortality have been achieved over the last decade, and this has mainly been attributed to the scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets and indoor residual ...
