The Chemistry of African Croton species
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
The genus Croton is one of the largest of Euphorbiaceae sensu stricto, and consists of over 1300 species of trees, shrubs and herbs that are distributed worldwide in the warm tropics and subtropics. It is reported that 124 ...
Eave Screening and Push-Pull Tactics to Reduce House Entry by Vectors of Malaria
(2016)
Long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual spraying have contributed to a decline in malaria over the last decade, but progress is threatened by the development of physiological and behavioral resistance of mosquitoes ...
Zinc oxide photocatalytic decolourization of black tea (camellia sinensis) wastewater from processing factories in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Decolourization of persistent brick-red colour of black tea processing wastewater was investigated. Wastewater samples were collected from three black tea processing factories in the western Kenya tea growing highlands and ...
Validation of the polyacrylic acid/glassy carbon differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetric sensor for simultaneous analysis of lead(ii), cadmium(ii) and cobalt(ii)ions
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Electrochemical sensor validation en
sures that the determination procedure employed for a specific
test is suitable for its intended use. Accuracy and precision, linearity, range, limits of ...
Blue, able and simplified linear estimation of the selected order statistics from the logistic distribution
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Simplified linear estimation of the scale parameter of the logistic
distribution based on the sum of consecutive order statistics is
considered. The paper also discusses the ...
Selected ethno-medicinal plants from Kenya with in vitro activity against major African livestock pathogens belonging to the "Mycoplasma mycoides cluster".
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
ETHNOPHARMOCOLOGICAL RELEVANCE:
Members of 'Mycoplasma mycoides cluster' are important ruminant pathogens in Africa. Diseases caused by these Mycoplasma negatively affect the agricultural sector especially in developing ...
The effect of mass mosquito trapping on malaria transmission and disease burden (SOLARMAL): a stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial.
(Unuversity of Nairobi, 2016)
BACKGROUND:
Odour baits can attract host-seeking Anopheles mosquitoes indoors and outdoors. We assessed the effects of mass deployment of odour-baited traps on malaria transmission and disease burden.
METHODS:
We ...
How would children register their own births? Insights from a survey of students regarding birth registration knowledge and policy suggestions in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Birth registration and obtaining physical birth certificates impose major challenges in developing countries, with impact on child and community health, education, planning, and all levels of development. However despite ...
Mass mosquito trapping for malaria control in western Kenya: study protocol for a stepped wedge cluster-randomised trial.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
BACKGROUND:
Increasing levels of insecticide resistance as well as outdoor, residual transmission of malaria threaten the efficacy of existing vector control tools used against malaria mosquitoes. The development of ...
Optical and electrical properties dependence on thickness of screen-printed tio2 thin films.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Effect of film thickness on the optical and electrical properties of TiO2 thin films were studied. Thin films of different thicknesses were deposited by screen printing method on fluorine doped tin oxide coated on glass ...
