Modelling Dispersion Using Finite Mixture Of PoissoN
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The negative binomial distribution is a versatile distribution in describing dispersion. The negative binomial parameter k is considered as a dispersion parameter. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that filnite mixture ...
Decomposition and Nitrogen Release Rates of Buried Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Residue in a Mollic Phaeozem of Njoro, Kenya
(2010)
Synchronization of nutrient release from organic material and nutrient uptake requires a better understanding of plant residue decomposition kinetics. A field experiment was consequently conducted, at field 7 research ...
Agent Based Model For Localized Secure Payment Systems Integration
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
Spectroelectrochemical Dynamics of Dendritic Poly (Propylene imine)- Polythiophene Star Copolymer Aptameric 1713-Estradiol Biosensor
(2011)
Aptamers, which are in vitro-selected functional oligonucleotides, have been employed to design novel
aptasensor due to their inherent high selectivity and affinity compared to traditional biorecognition
elements. This ...
Equatorial paleomagnetic time‐averaged field results from 0–5 Ma lavas from Kenya and the latitudinal variation of angular dispersion
(2010)
[1] Lavas of Pliocene-Pleistocene age were sampled in two regions in Kenya: Mount Kenya on the equator and the Loiyangalani region, east of Lake Turkana, at about 3°N. We sampled 100 sites distributed around the Mount Kenya ...
Antagonistic effect of alkaloids and saponins on bioactivity in the quinine tree (Rauvolfia caffra sond.): further evidence to support biotechnology in traditional medicinal plants
(2013)
Background
The Quinine tree (Rauvolfia caffra) is used as a medicinal plant among traditional communities in many countries to manage tumors and other diseases associated with oxidative stress. To validate indigenous ...
Optimizing Neural Network for TV Idle Channel Prediction in Cognitive Radio Using Particle Swarm Optimization
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Antioxidant activity of costunolide and eremanthin isolated from Costus speciosus (Koen ex. Retz) Sm.
(University of Nairobi, 2010-12)
Antioxidant properties of many medicinal plants have been widely recognized and some of them have been commercially exploited. Plant derived antioxidants play a very important role in alleviating problems related to oxidative ...
A Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the Integration of ICTs in Teaching and Learning in Primary Schools in Kenya
(2013)
This research project presents a research study on Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) integration in primary school education as it sought to develop a
Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the integration ...
