Antiplasmodial activity of compounds from the surface exudates of Senecio roseiflorus
(University of Nairobi, 2013-02)
From the surface exudates of Senecio roseiflorus fourteen known methylated flavonoids and one phenol were isolated and characterized. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic ...
Acute myeloid leukemia with translocation t(8;16) presents with features which mimic acute promyelocytic leukemia and is associated with poor prognosis
(2013)
Previous small series have suggested that acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;16) is a distinct morphologic and clinical entity associated with poor prognosis. We describe 18 patients with t(8;16) AML, including their clinical, ...
Relapse-specific mutations in NT5C2 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(2013)
Relapsed childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) carries a poor prognosis, despite intensive retreatment, owing to intrinsic drug resistance. The biological pathways that mediate resistance are unknown. Here, we report ...
Comparisons of single-stage and two-stage approaches to genomic selection.
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Genomic selection (GS) is a method for predicting breeding values of plants or animals using many molecular markers that is commonly implemented in two stages. In plant breeding the first stage usually involves computation ...
Effect of rat serum lipoproteins on mRNA levels and amiodarone metabolism by cultured primary rat hepatocytes
(2013)
Hyperlipidemia can significantly increase amiodarone (AM) in vivo liver uptake and decrease its velocity of microsomal metabolism. Here, hepatocytes isolated from normolipidemic (NL) and hyperlipidemic rats were incubated ...

The Dynamics of Vector-Host Feeding Contact Rate with Saturation: A Case of Malaria in Western Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2013-10)
In this study, we develop an expression for a saturated mosquito feeding rate in an SIS malaria model to determine its effect on infection and transmission dynamics of malaria in the highlands of Western Kenya. The basic ...
Dye-Sensitized and Amorphous Silicon Photovoltaic (PV Devices' Outdoor Performance: A Comparative Study
(2013)
The performance of a dye-sensitized solar
module (DSSM) has been investigated under different air
mass (AM), irradiance intensity and temperature conditions
in Nairobi, Kenya. The good response of the DSSM to short
wavelength ...
The Family «geraniaceae» In North-east Tropical Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Although the species of this family are all small herbs which are very rare, this paper has brought to light the most up-to-date information about the family in the Horn of Africa. The flora area is an interesting one since ...
