The Dynamics of Vector-Host Feeding Contact Rate with Saturation: A Case of Malaria in Western Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2013-10)
In this study, we develop an expression for a saturated mosquito feeding rate in an SIS malaria model to determine its effect on infection and transmission dynamics of malaria in the highlands of Western Kenya. The basic ...
Dye-Sensitized and Amorphous Silicon Photovoltaic (PV Devices' Outdoor Performance: A Comparative Study
(2013)
The performance of a dye-sensitized solar
module (DSSM) has been investigated under different air
mass (AM), irradiance intensity and temperature conditions
in Nairobi, Kenya. The good response of the DSSM to short
wavelength ...

(University of Nairobi,, 2014)
Identifying infectious disease outbreaks in their early stages is an important task, both for governments and international organizations working in the health sector. This study reviewed the notifiable disease reporting ...
The Family «geraniaceae» In North-east Tropical Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Although the species of this family are all small herbs which are very rare, this paper has brought to light the most up-to-date information about the family in the Horn of Africa. The flora area is an interesting one since ...
Chemical bond approach to optical properties of some flash evaporated Se100 −XSbX chalcogenide alloy
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
Amorphous thin films of Se100−XSbX (X = 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20) were synthesized by flash
evaporation of the premelt quenched bulk samples. The optical properties were investigated from spectrophotometric
measurements in the ...
Adoption of Open Source Software by Organizations – A Framework for Kenya

Open Source Software (OSS) has emerged as an alternative to
Closed Source Software in many fields of software usage.
However, how and why OSS software is being adopted and
implemented within organizations in Kenya is ...
Application of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Technology in the Tropics: Effects of Radiation Intensity and Temperature on DSSC Performance
(2012)
Effects of radiation intensity and temperature on the
performance of a dye-sensitized solar module (DSSM) have been
investigated in a tropical area in Nairobi, Kenya. Outdoor
measurements were performed on cloudless ...
The phlebotomine sandfly fauna (Diptera: Psychodidae) of Kenya.
(2011-12)
Visceral and cutaneous leishmaniases are endemic in some parts of Kenya, where they are transmitted by phlebobotomine sandflies of genus Phlebotomus. This review is a compilation of the currently known distribution of ...
