l-Arginine supplementation in women with chronic hypertension: impact on blood pressure and maternal and neonatal complications
(2010)
Objective. To evaluate l-arginine (l-Arg) supplementation in pregnant women with chronic hypertension and its effects on blood pressure (BP) and maternal and neonatal complications.
Methods. We enrolled 80 women affected ...
Impacts Of Land Cover Change Scenarios On Storm Runoff Generation: A Basis For Management Of The Nyando Basin, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
The effects of conceptual land cover change scenarios on the generation of storm runoffs were evaluated in the Nyando Basin. The spatial scenarios represented alternatives that vary between full deforestation and reforestation. ...
Classification of the Kenyan general insurance risks using copula approach
(JKUAT Press Ltd, 2012)
Dependence between risks reduces the benefits of
diversification. Modem portfolio theory is based on correlation as
a measure of dependence while the criterion presented here is
based on the copula theory as a measure ...
Lake Naivasha, Kenya: Ecology, Society and Future
(Freshwater Biological Association, 2011)
We examine the degradation of the natural capital and ecosystem services of an important
tropical lake, Kenya’s Lake Naivasha, in the context of human activities and exploitation since the
mid-20th century. These factors ...
On commutants and operator equations
(2012)
Let B(H) denote the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert
Space H into itself. Given A,B ∈ B(H) define C(A,B) and R(A,B) : B(H) −→
B(H) by C(A,B)X = AX − XB and R(A,B)X = AXB − X. Our task in this
note is to ...
Science and Management of Transboundary Lakes: Lessons Learned from the Global Environment Facility Program
(University of Nairobi., 2013)
The International Waters Science Project Lakes Working Group reviewed 58 Global Environment Facility (GEF) projects that addressed serious environmental and human development issues in transboundary lakes. The lessons ...
Terpurinflavone: An antiplasmodial flavone from the stem of Tephrosia Purpurea
(Elsevier B.V., 2011)
The stem extract of Tephrosia purpurea showed anti plasmodial activity against the D6 (chloroquinesensitive)
and W2 (chloroquine-resistant) strains of Plasmodium /aldparum with 1(50 values of
10.47 ± 2.22 f.Lg/mland 12.06 ...
The Application of the Method of Horace to Get Number of Generators for an Ideal of s General Points in P4
(2010)
Let S be a general set of s points in P4, and R the homogeneous coordinate ring
of P4. Then the ideal of S, IS has a minimal free resolution of the form:
0 −−−→ F3 −−−→ F2 −−−→ F1 −−−→ F0 −−−→ IS −−−→ 0
where Fp = R(−d ...
Maximal Rank for ΩPn
(2011)
Let k an algebraically closed field and R the homogeneous coordinate ring
of Pn and ΩPn the cotangent bundle of Pn. In this paper I prove that for a given set S of
s general points in Pn then the evaluation map H0
...
Analysis of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Water from Ngong and Mathare Rivers, Nairobi County, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Unsustainable industrial development has created negative impacts to global ecosystem quality and biodiversity
due to increased load of chemical and biological contaminants released into environment. Ecological ...
