A Hybrid Algorithm for Detecting Web Based Applications Vulnerabilities
(2016)
Web vulnerability scanners (WVS) are tools for discovering vulnerabilities in a web application. However, they are not 100% accurate. In this paper we develop a hybrid algorithm for detecting web based applications ...
To be or not to be a species: use of reproductive isolation experiments and genetic analysis to clarify the taxonomic status of two Busseola (Lepidopter a: Noctuidae) species in Kenya
(Taylor & Fr ancis, 2013)
Phylogenetic analysis combined with chemical ecology can contribute to the delimitation of closely related
insect species, particularly in Lepidoptera. In this study, the taxonomic status of a species in the genus ...
Application of Raman spectroscopy in detection of Aflatoxin B1 in maize kernels
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Use of Raman spectroscopy in detecting aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in maize kernels is reported. Distinct difference between AFB1 contaminated and uncontaminated kernels were observed from Raman spectral profiles obtained after ...
Multistate modelling vertical transmission and determination of r0 using transition intensities
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
In this paper multi-state modelling is used to determine the proba-
bility distribution of the di erent states of vertical transmission of HIV.
We start with a healthy-infected-dead three state model which we then
modify ...
Postharvest practices of maize farmers in Kaiti District, Kenya and the impact of hermetic storage on populations of Aspergillus spp. and aflatoxin contamination.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Aflatoxin contamination in maize by Aspergillus spp. is a major problem causing food, income and health
concerns. A study was carried out in Kaiti District in Lower Eastern Kenya to evaluate the effect of three months
storage ...
Climate Change Projections And The Associated Potential Impacts For Somalia
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Somalia has faced severe challenges linked to climate variability, which has been exacerbated by conflict and limited governance that persisted for decades. Today climate extremes such as floods, drought, and coastal marine ...

(University of Nairobi, 2017-07)
The use of ICT in agriculture within
developing countrie
s has quickly gained popularity
among development agencies, the private sector and
even the government. ICT for ...
Study of anti-tuberculosis activity behaviour of natural Kaurane and trachylobane diterpenes compared with structural properties obtained by theoretical calculations
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
A set of seven diterpenes, three kauranes and four trachylobanes, isolated from the African plant Psiadia punctulata were assayed against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and reached activity comparable with cycloserine, a second ...
Comparative oesophageal cancer risk assessment of hot beverage consumption (coffee, mate and tea): the margin of exposure of PAH vs very hot temperatures.
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
BACKGROUND:
Consumption of very hot (> 65 °C) beverages is probably associated with increased risk of oesophageal cancer. First associations were reported for yerba mate and it was initially believed that high content ...
