Human Skin Microbiota And Their Volatiles As Odour Baits For The Malaria Mosquito Anopheles Gambiae S.S
(University of Nairobi, 2011-05)
Host seeking by the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae Giles sensu stricto (Diptera: Culicidae) is mainly guided by volatile chemicals present in human odours. The skin microbiota plays an important role in the production ...
Ecology and Behavior of Anopheles arabiensis in Relation to Agricultural Practices in Central Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Ecological changes associated with anthropogenic ecosystem disturbances can influence human risk of exposure to malaria and other vector-borne infectious diseases. This study in Mwea, Kenya, investigated the pattern of ...
Effects of monocular deprivation on the dendritic features of retinal ganglion cells
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
SUMMARY: Monocular deprivation results in anatomical changes in the visual cortex in favor of the non-deprived eye. Although the retina forms part of the visual pathway, there is scarcity of data on the effect of monocular ...
Emphasis on Photovoltaic (PV) Solar System Installation Training: A Case Study of a PV Solar System Installed in Makueni County, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
The installation of Photovoltaic (PV) solar systems in institutions as well as homesteads in the rural areas in Kenya is increasing at a high rate; and so is the need for the stake holders to make sure the ...
Electrophoretic Deposition of Titanium Dioxide Thin Films for Photocatalytic Water Purification Systems
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
In this study, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique was used to deposit titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films on conducting glass substrates for application in water purification from organic contaminants. Phenol was ...
Raman Crystallinity and Hall Effect Studies of Microcrystalline Silicon Seed Layers
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
Aluminium induced crystallization (AIC) was used to crystallize sputtered amorphous silicon thin films on aluminium-coated glass substrates at annealing temperatures ranging from 250-520°C in vacuum. Crystalline volume ...
Variation in host preferences of malaria mosquitoes is mediated by skin bacterial volatiles.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)
The host preferences of the anthropophilic mosquito species in the Anopheles gambiae complex (Diptera: Culicidae) are mediated by skin bacterial volatiles. However, it is not known whether these mosquitoes respond ...
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 ...
