Synergistic repellent activity of plant essential oils against Aedes aegypti on rabbit Skin
(2014)
Mosquito-borne diseases are the major causes of mortality particularly in tropics. Due to drug and
insecticide resistance, personal protection by use of skin repellents has become a common approach of
control. The purpose ...
Towards the Definition of a Framework and Grammar for Game Analysis and Design
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
The present paper defines an original approach to
game analysis and design able to characterize a given game in a
simple, yet efficient, way. Inspired by models widely used across
the gaming industry, the proposed ...
New typology and origin of tsavorite based on trace-element chemistry
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
New electron-microprobe analyses of ‘tsavorites’ from the Neoproterozoic Metamorphic Mozambique Belt deposits allow the characterization of green grossular according to its trace-element chemistry (V, Cr, Mn). Five chemical ...
Comparing PSO and GA Optimizers in MLP to Predict Mobile Traffic Jam Times
(2015)
Freely-usable frequency spectrum is dwindling quickly in the face of increasingly greater demand. As mobile
traffic overwhelm the frequency allocated to it, some frequency bands such as for terrestrial TV are insufficiently ...
Subdegrees and suborbital graphs of symmetric group s n (n = 3, 4, 5) acting on unordered pai rs

Dominant Allele Phylogeny and Constitutive Subgenome Haplotype Inference in Bananas Using Mitochondrial and Nuclear Markers.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
Cultivated bananas (Musa spp.) have undergone domestication patterns involving crosses of wild progenitors followed by long periods of clonal propagation. Majority of cultivated bananas are polyploids with different ...
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 ...
