Institutional Mapping for Climate Change Adaptation in Eastern Africa
(2008)
The Eastern African region, including the Horn of Africa, is highly vulnerable to climate change and
several of its major sectors that significantly contribute to the sub-region’s economies will be
severely affected. ...
Study of non-normal operators in a complex Hilbert space
(2008)
This paper is on some special characteristics of non-normal operators.
We first seek to show that if a bounded operator Tis paranormal: what about Tl? Here its enough to find aTE 8(H) for which Tl is not hyponormal but ...
Assessment and Utilization of Wind Power in Kenya – A Review
(2008)
Wind energy is one form of free renewable resource that is being vigorously pursued by many countries of the world including Kenya. It is a
cheap, clean and non-polluting energy sources that may finally be used to
replace ...
Growth characteristics of two tropical forest species Warburgia ugandensis and Polyscias fulva seedlings grown under contrasting light conditions
(University Of Nairobi, 2008)
Growth parameters for seedlings of two forest trees, Warburgia ugandensis and Polyscias fulva, were
measured under various light growth conditions. Leaf area and plant height were significantly higher
under low light (< ...
δ13 Values of the Centrospermeae Species and Their Ecological Implications in the Semi Arid Conditions
(University Of Nairobi, 2008)
δ13C values of the Centrospermeae species are presented. 69.5, 28.45, 1.25 and 0.8% of the total species are C3, C4, C3-C4 and CAM photosynthetic species. The δ13C values are species dependent. δ13C values for the C3 range ...
Biochemical changes in the plasma of vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) experimentally infected with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense
(University of Nairobi, 2008-05-16)
Biochemical evaluation of plasma during disease conditions gives an indication of the functional status
of the various body organs. Biochemical analysis of plasma from 32 vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus
aethiops) infected ...
Status of insecticide susceptibility in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato and Anopheles funestus mosquitoes from Western Kenya
(2008)
The status of resistance was investigated in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato and An. funestus (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes from western Kenya to four classes of insecticides approved by World Health Organization for indoor ...
Reserves as oceanic islands: lessons for conserving some East African montane forests
(University of Nairobi, 2008-04)
Current models, applying equilibrium theory to reserve planning, all treat reserves as land-bridge islands. Recent evidence suggests that most forests in East Africa, especially montane ones, are more accurately regarded ...
The flatness problem as a natural cosmological phenomenon
(University of Nairobi, 2008)
An interplay between elementary particle interactions at very high energies
and the expansion of the Universe is studied in the context of the inflationary
model to find a possible explanation for an observed flatness ...
Metal-to-Metal Electron-Transfer Emission in Cyanide-Bridged Chromium−Ruthenium Complexes: Effects of Configurational Mixing Between Ligand Field and Charge Transfer Excited States
(2008)
Irradiations of the transition metal-to-transition metal charge transfer (MMCT) absorption bands of a series of cyanide-bridged chromium(III)−ruthenium(II) complexes at 77 K leads to near-infrared emission spectra of the ...
