Age and Origin of the Tsavorite and Tanzanite Mineralizing Fluids in the Neoproterozoic Mozambique Metamorphic Belt
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
The genetic model previously proposed for tsavorite- (and tanzanite-) bearing mineralization hosted in the Neoproterozoic Metamorphic Mozambique Belt (stretching from Kenya through Tanzania to Madagascar) is refined on the ...
Adsorption Of Malachite Green From Aqueous Solutions Onto Rice Husks: Kinetic And Equilibrium Studies
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
A study was done to evaluate the removal of a cationic dye from simulated waste water onto rice husks (RH). Spectroscopic methods such as FTIR and SEM/EDX were used for adsorbent characterization. Experimental dependency ...

(University of Nairobi, 2017)
Theeffects of 2 Neem derivatives, Neem oil (NO) and Neem Seed Powder (NSP),on various physiological parameters of the brown ear tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus,the vector for Theileria parva. ...
Isoflavones and Rotenoids from the Leaves of Millettia oblata ssp. teitensis
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
: A new isoflavone, 8-prenylmilldrone (1), and four
new rotenoids, oblarotenoids A−D (2−5), along with nine known
compounds (6−14), were isolated from the CH2Cl2/CH3OH

Near Real-time Tropospheric Water Vapour Profiling Using A Ground-based GPS Receiver
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
This article presents a remote-sensing tool employing an artificial neural networks algorithm for near real-time determination of the relative humidity (RH) profile above a site using global positioning system (GPS) data ...
Compositional Analysis and Optical Properties of Co Doped Tio2 Thin Films Fabricated by Spray Pyrolysis Method for Dielectric and P Hotocatalytic Applications
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
Abstract Cobalt doped TiO2 thin films (CTF) deposited by spray pyrolysis has been studied. The compositional analysis has been done using RBS method, while optical spectroscopy has been done by measuring the transmittance ...
The biology and control of the greater wax moth, galleria mellonella
(UoN, 2017)
The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella Linnaeus, is a ubiquitous pest of the honeybee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus, and Apis cerana Fabricius. The greater wax moth larvae burrow into the edge of unsealed cells with pollen, ...
The food and beverage occurrence of furfuryl alcohol and myrcene—two emerging potential human carcinogens?
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
For decades, compounds present in foods and beverages have been implicated in the etiology of human cancers. The World Health Organization (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) continues to classify such ...
A robust liquid chromatographic method for confirmation of drug stability of azithromycin in bulk samples, tablets and suspensions
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
A simple, isocratic and robust RP-HPLC method for the analysis of azithromycin was developed, validated and applied for the analysis of bulk samples, tablets and suspensions. The optimum chromatographic conditions for ...
