Frequency of Epstein - Barr virus in patients presenting with acute febrile illness in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
BACKGROUND:
Most acute febrile illnesses (AFI) are usually not associated with a specific diagnosis because of limitations of available diagnostics. This study reports on the frequency of EBV viremia and viral load in ...
Evaluating the utility of mid-infrared spectral subspaces for predicting soil properties.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
We propose four methods for finding local subspaces in large spectral libraries. The proposed four methods include (a) cosine angle spectral matching; (b) hit quality index spectral matching; (c) self-organizing maps and ...
Optical and electrical properties dependence on thickness of screen-printed tio2 thin films.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Effect of film thickness on the optical and electrical properties of TiO2 thin films were studied. Thin films of different thicknesses were deposited by screen printing method on fluorine doped tin oxide coated on glass ...
Rapid detection of hiv1-p24 antigen in human blood plasma using Raman spectroscopy
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Raman spectroscopy together with principal component analysis (PCA) has been applied in detecting HIV1-p24 antigen in plasma. PCA distinguished Raman data of human blood Plasma contaminated with HIV1-p24 antigens from ...
Plant parasitic nematode assemblages associated with sweet potato in Kenya and their relationship with environmental variables
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Sweet potato is one of the most important staple food crops consumed in Kenya and throughout Africa but yields are greatly reduced by plant parasitic nematodes (PPN). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence ...
Methane and heavy metals levels from Leachates at Dandora dumpsite, Nairobi county, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Rate of urbanization in Kenya has increased, resulting to increased generation of solid and liquid
wastes. This has increased the use of landfills and dumpsites to manage wastes as well to reduce pollution.

Histomorphological changes in the cornea of the rat following monocular eyelid closure
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe structural changes in the cornea of the rat after monocular eyelid closure.
Methods: Twenty-six Rattus norvegicus male rats aged three months were used. The rats were ...
Photocatalytic Degradation Of Acid Orange II Dye On Selected Titanium Dioxide Catalysts
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Chemical Composition And Antifungal Activity Of Essential Oils Of Tagetes Minuta (Asteraceae) Against Selected Phytopathogenic Fungi
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
Over the years, management of plant pathogenic fungi has primarily relied on the use of synthetic
chemical fungicides. However, in the recent past, exploration for biologically active compounds from
plants with the aim ...
