Dynamics of Suspended Sediment Exchange and Transport in a Degraded Mangrove Creek in Kenya
(Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, 2002)
This study focuses on sediment exchange dynamics in
Mwache Creek, a shallow tidal mangrove wetland in
Kenya. The surface area of the creek is 17 km2
at high
water spring. The creek experiences semidiurnal tides with
tidal ...
Determination of nitrate by suppressed ion chromatography after copperised-cadmium column reduction
(2004)
The nitrate-selective copperised-cadmium (Cu-Cd) reduction reaction coupled directly to the highly sensitive nitrite ion chromatographic detection, produced a more precise method for determination of nitrate than any one ...
Protection of Metarhizium anisopliae conidia from ultra-violet radiation and their pathogenicity to Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi ticks
(University of Nairobi., 2009)
Metarhizium anisopliae conidia were formulated in water or in olive oil containing 3% commercial sunscreens (Everysun® or E45 Sun Block 50®) and exposed to an artificial UV source for up to 5 hours. Survival of conidia ...

(2000)
Following exposure to a major traumatic event like the August seventh 1998 Nairobi bomb
blast various reactions occur, some of which result in stress-related psychiatric disorders.
We have described one such case, and ...
Soil Abiotic and Biotic Interactions and Impact on the Ecosystem and Hutnan Welfare
(Science Publishers, Inc., 2005)
Phosphate fertilizers are applied to correct phosphorus deficiency in acidic
tropical soils of variable charge, which account for a large proportion of the

Removal of Cr(III) from aqueous solutions using a micaceous poly–mineral from Kenya
(2003)
Adsorption of Cr(III) ions from aqueous solutions using a micaceous polymineral (MPM) from Kenya
was studied using batch experiments as function of contact time, adsorbent dosage, Cr(III)
concentration, pH and temperature. ...
