Adsorption of Methylene Blue Dye from Aqueous Solutions Using Eichhornia crassipes
(University of Nairobi, 2013-07)
Adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution using dried roots, stems, and leaves of Eichhornia crassipes biomass obtained from Lake Victoria was studied. Batch experimental results revealed that the adsorption ...
To compute is not to think
(1994)
Do you need some information? Push a button and the machine will answer! Amendments to this ridiculous way of thinking are proposed.
The roles of adaptation and positive information utility in building a self-organizing ...
Modeling a Hierarchical System with Multiple Absorbing States
(2012)
This paper describes a Markov Chain transition model for predicting expected numbers of
dropouts from various levels of the system. The levels of dropout include graduation after successful
completion of all the courses ...
Predation of free-living engorged female Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(University of Nairobi., 1991-10)
In experiments done over a period of 1 1/2 years using engorged female Rhipicephalus appendiculatus tethered in a grass plot, 42% predation was observed in long grass (40-60 cm), and 36% in short grass (6-10 cm). Deaths ...
Simultaneous determination of iron(III) and vanadium(V) with N-phenylcinnamohydroxamic acid and thiocyanate by extraction-spectrophotometry
(University of Nairobi, 1985)
N-Phenylcinnarnohydroxamic acid (PCHA) reacts with iron(III) and vanadium(V) in the presence of thiocyanate to form water-insoluble orange and green complexes, respectively. The iron(III)-PCHA and vanadium(V)-PCHA-thiocyanate ...
Population dynamics of pine woolly aphid, Pineus pini (Gmelin) (Hemiptera: Adelgidae), in Kenya
(1980)
The population dynamics of Pineus pini (Gmel.) was examined in two locations in the Kenya Highlands where the mean annual precipitation ranges from 620 to 1400 mm. Variations in population densities were related to rainfall. ...
Alkaloids of Teclea nobilis
(University of Nairobi, 1988)
A new furoquinoline alkaloid to which we have assigned the trivial name nobiline, and seven other quinonline alkaloids were isolated and identified from the leaves and fruits of Teclea nobilis, an African medicinal plant.

(2011)
Magadi area is located in the southern part of the Kenyan rift, an active continental rift that is part of the East African Rift system. Thermal manifestations in the form of hot springs in the northern and southern shores ...
Investigation of pollutants, determination of physico-chemical characteristics of the Nairobi river and remediation of some toxic heavy metals using fish bones
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
A Study was conducted to determine the level of pollution in the Nairobi River. The study covered four
sampling sites located along the river, stretching from upstream at Ondiri swamp then moving to
Museum Hill Bridge ...
An investigation of the structure beneath Magadi area in Southern Kenya Rift using gravimetric data
(2012)
Magadi area is located in the southern part of the Kenyan rift, an active
continental rift that is part of the East African Rift system. Local seismic activity
monitored previously around Lake Magadi revealed an earthquake ...
