(2012)
Lake Naivasha, Kenya, is one of a number of freshwater lakes in the East African Rift System. Since the beginning of the twentieth
century, it has experienced greater anthropogenic influence as a result of increasingly ...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Busseola segeta Bowden (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae): A case study of host use diversification in Guineo-Congolian rainforest relic area, Kenya
(2012)
Abstract: Habitat modification and fragmentation are considered as some of the factors that drive organism distribution and host use diversification. Indigenous African stem borer pests are thought to have diversified their ...
Elephant movement and local community attitudes towards the proposed corridor between Thegu forest and Sangare ranch
(2012)
Rapid human population growth has drastically reduced elephant range by
reducing habitats and blocking traditional migration routes over the last several decades. Attempts to reopen migration routes have been met with ...
Four isoflavanones from the stem bark of Platycelphium voense
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
From the stem bark of Platycelphium voënse (Leguminosae) four new isoflavanones were isolated and characterized as (S)-5,7-dihydroxy-2′,4′-dimethoxy-3′-(3″-methylbut-2″-enyl)-isoflavanone (trivial name platyisoflavanone ...
Remote sensing and geophysical investigations of the geodynamic activities at lake Magadi, Southern Kenyan Rift.
(2012)
The tectonic lineaments and thermal structure of Lake Magadi, southern Kenyan rift
system, were investigated using ASTER data and geophysical methods. Five N-S faults
close to known hot springs were identified for ...
Human Impacts on Two Wetlands in the Nairobi National Park, Kenya

Environmental gradients in physico-chemical properties and distance to human settlements at two wetlands
(around Hyena and Nalogomon dams) in the Nairobi National Park were studied. Ordination showed that over 84%
of the ...
W2 -recurrent Lp-sasakian Manifold
(2012)
In this paper, we study the properties of the W2 -recurrent LPSasakian
manifold. We prove symmetric and skew-symmetric
properties of the W2 -curvature tensor.

This study summarizes the results of a pilot survey on utilization of weather information and products for selected
districts in Kenya and the response of users to Kenya Meteorological Department’s (KMD) weather products ...
Assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Lates niloticus, Oreochromis niloticus and Rastrineobola argentea as sources of human exposure in Kisumu Bay, Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria
(2012)
The concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Lates niloticus, Oreochromis niloticus and Rastrineobola argentea from three beaches were assessed to establish whether they are sources of human exposure ...
