Mortality Projection: Curve Fitting And Linear Regression
(2011)
This study was aimed at predicting future mortality rates given two main scenarios. The first is in the
case where there is a body of mortality tables from the past and the second is in the case where such a
database ...
Comparison of two microdiffusion methods used to measure ionizable fluoride in cow's milk
(2011)
Two microdiffusion methods for measuring ionizable fluoride in cows' milk have been compared. The comparison includes diffusion time, amount of fluoride in spiked and unspiked milk samples and the effect of aluminium as ...
Differential transcription of two highly divergent gut-expressed Bm86 antigen gene homologues in the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(2011)
The transcriptional control of gene expression is not well documented in the Arthropoda. We describe transcriptional analysis of two exceptionally divergent homologues (Ra86) of the Bm86 gut antigen from Rhipicephalus ...
Hydrologic Analysis For River Nyando Using SWAT
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The Nyando River is one of the major Rivers in the Lake Victoria Basin. It drains parts
of Nandi, Kericho and Nyando districts. It has a catchment area of about 3600km−2
of Western Kenya and an average discharge of ...
Pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae to the red-legged tick, Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi
(University of Nairobi., 2011)
Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi is an economically-important tick of livestock in Africa mainly due to its ability to transmit Babesia equi to horses, Anaplasma marginale to cattle and to cause paralysis in lambs, adult sheep ...
An Approximation Of Fisher's Information For The Negative Binomial Parameter K
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The negative binomial distribution is a versatile distribution in describing dispersion. The negative binomial parameter k is considered as a measure of dispersion. The aim of this paper is to present an approximation of ...
Modelling Dispersion Using Finite Mixture Of PoissoN
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The negative binomial distribution is a versatile distribution in describing dispersion. The negative binomial parameter k is considered as a dispersion parameter. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that filnite mixture ...
Spectroelectrochemical Dynamics of Dendritic Poly (Propylene imine)- Polythiophene Star Copolymer Aptameric 1713-Estradiol Biosensor
(2011)
Aptamers, which are in vitro-selected functional oligonucleotides, have been employed to design novel
aptasensor due to their inherent high selectivity and affinity compared to traditional biorecognition
elements. This ...
The phlebotomine sandfly fauna (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Kenya.
(2011-12)
Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases are endemic in some parts of Kenya, where they are transmitted by phlebobotomine sandflies of genus Phlebotomus. This review is a compilation of the currently known distribution of ...
Phytochemical investigation of the stem bark of millettia oblata ssp. Teitensis for antiplasmodial andlarvicidal principles
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The genus Millettia is rich in flavonoids and isoflavonoids. In the search for compounds
with antiplasmodial and larvicidal activities from medicinal plants, the stem barks of
Millettia oblata ssp. teitensis were analysed. ...
