Atmospheric divergence over equatorial East Africa and its influence on distribution of rainfall
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Spatial and temporal variability of divergence is analysed over equatorial East Africa. According to the analysis, seasonal march of upper level divergence is bimodal. There is peak upper level divergence during March-April-May ...
Evaluation of Geophagia as a Pathway for Internal Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Geophagia, the deliberate ingestion of soil, is a complex eating habit found among animals and human beings around the world. Among other reasons soil ingestion is perceived as a source of essential mineral supplements, ...
2 H/ 1 H composition of soil n-alkanes along two altitudinal transects in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The characteritics of the turbidity maximum zone in a shallow, well-flushed Sabaki Estuary in Kenya
(2015)
The spatial-temporal variability and the behavior of the Estuarine Turbidity Maximum (ETM) zone in the shallow, ephemeral, well-flushed Sabaki estuary located in the northern region of the Kenya coast, were studied during ...
Effects of fungal infection on feeding and survival of Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) on plant sugars
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Background
The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae shows great promise for the control of adult malaria vectors. A promising strategy for infection of mosquitoes is supplying the fungus at plant feeding ...
Observation of Meyer-Neldel rule in Se 100− XM (M= In, Sb) X chalcogenide glasses
(2015)
Non-isothermal Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) studies were done on Se100−XM(M=In, Sb)X chalcogenide glasses prepared by the melt quenching technique. The composition-dependent activation energy for glass to crystal ...
Effects of land-use intensification on distribution and diversity of Fusarium species in Machakos County, Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Land-use intensification has a significant influence on occurrence of soil microorganisms. The effect of this phenomenon on Fusarium species is poorly characterized. One hundred soil samples were obtained from 3 replicated ...
Effect of Annealing and Surface Passivation on Doped SnO2 Thin FilmsPrepared by Spray Pyrolysis Technique
(2015)
In this study doped SnO2 thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis technique using an alcoholic precursor
solution consisting of stannic chloride (SnCl4.5H2O), ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and palladium chloride (PdCl2). ...
Identification Key for Aspergillus Species Isolated from Maize and Soil of Nandi County, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The aim of this study was to identify Aspergillus species isolated from maize kernels and soils of maize fields of Nandi County using macro and micro morphological characteristics. A cross sec- tional research design was ...
