Electrocatalytic reduction of 2, 2, 2–trichloro-1, 1-bis (4-chlorophenyl) ethanol (dicofol) in acetonitrile- aqueous solution using cyanocobalamin as a catalyst
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
This paper reports on the catalytic behaviour of cyanocobalamin (VB12) towards the reduction of polyhalogenated
organic pollutant 2, 2, 2–trichloro-1,1-bis (4-chlorophenyl) ethanol (dicofol) in acetonitrile-aqueous solution ...
An investigation of buoyancy driven natural convection in a cylindrical enclosure.
(University of Nairobi, 2015-04)
An investigation of heat transfer was done in a cylindrical enclosure. The effects of varying Reynolds Number, Prandtl
number, Froude number, and Euler number on the temperature and velocity was investigated. In the study, ...
Time for in situ renaissance.
(University of Nairobi, 2015-08-14)
The African buffalo parasite Theileria. sp. (buffalo) can infect and immortalize cattle leukocytes and encodes divergent orthologues of Theileria parva antigen genes
(University of Nairobi, 2015-12)
African Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is the wildlife reservoir of multiple species within the apicomplexan protozoan genus Theileria, including Theileria parva which causes East coast fever in cattle. A parasite, which ...
Integration of geological mapping and remote sensed studies for the discovery of iron – ore mineralization in Mutomo – Ikutha area, SE Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
This research integrates geology with remote sensing techniques to establish characteristic features that can be used to discover iron ore mineralization within the Neoproterozoic rocks of Mutomo – Ikutha area in south ...
Molecular evolution of a central region containing B cell epitopes in the gene encoding the p67 sporozoite antigen within a field population of Theileria parva
(2015)
Protective immunity induced by the infective sporozoite stage of Theileria parva indicates a potential role for antibodies directed against conserved serologically reactive regions of the major sporozoite surface antigen ...
Carbon stable isotopes suggest that hippopotamus-vectored nutrients subsidize aquatic consumers in an East African river
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The common hippopotamus,
Hippopotamus amphibius
, transports millions of tons of organic
matter annually from its terrestrial feeding grounds into aquatic habitats. We evaluated whether carbon
stable isotopes (

A one-health approach to control the incidence of rabies in the slums of Nairobi
(University of Nairobi, 2015-11)
Rabies is a zoonotic disease causing 55,000 human deaths every year and the domestic dog is a main reservoir in Africa. Vaccination of the dog population effectively reduces the incidence of rabies in dog and human population. ...
Stability Investigation in the Optical Properties of Thermally Evaporated Ge5Se95-x Znx Thin Films
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Selenium-based chalcogenides are useful in telecommunication devices like infrared optics and threshold switching devices. The investigated system of Ge5Se95-xZnx (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 4 at.%) has been prepared from high purity ...
