Electrochemical characterization of TiO2 blocking layers prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering
(Elsevier, 2009)
Thin TiO 2 (anatase) films were prepared by reactive DC magnetron sputtering and characterized in detail.
Specifically, they were tested as comp act blockin g underlayers in dye-sensitized solar cells. Elastic recoil
detection ...
Serological evidence for long-term epstein–barr virus reactivation in children living in a holoendemic malaria region of Kenya†
(2009)
To study the long term the effects of chronic exposure to P. falciparum malaria on Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation in children, EBV-specific antibody levels were measured in a cross-sectional survey of two groups of ...

Removal of Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution Using a Micaceous Mineral of Kenyan Origin
(2009)
A micaceous mineral (MicaM) available locally in Kenya was utilized as an inexpensive and effective adsorbent for the removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solution. The effects of contact time, pH, temperature, adsorbate and ...
Holocene palaeohydrology, groundwater and climate change in the lake basins of the Central Kenya Rift
(2009)
The Central Kenya Rift contains small soda lakes such as Nakuru, Elmenteita and Bogoria, freshwater Lake Naivasha, and the partly (spatially) freshwater Lake Baringo. The hydrology of this area is controlled mainly by ...

(2009)
The Lake Bogoria basin, here in referred to as the study area, is located in the greater Baringo-Bogoria basin (BBB), about 250 km to the north of the city of Nairobi and about 100 km to the north of Menengai geothermal ...
Early Hominin Foot Morphology Based on 1.5-Million-Year-Old Footprints from Ileret, Kenya
(2009)
Hominin footprints offer evidence about gait and foot shape, but their scarcity, combined with an inadequate hominin fossil record, hampers research on the evolution of the human gait. Here, we report hominin footprints ...
Antifungal activity of crude extracts of Gladiolus dalenii Van Geel (Iridaceae)
(2009)
Bulb extracts of Gladiolus dalenii reportedly used in the treatment of fungal infections in HIV/AIDS patients in the Lake Victoria region were tested for antifungal activity using the disc diffusion assay technique. ...
