The characteritics of the turbidity maximum zone in a shallow, well-flushed Sabaki Estuary in Kenya
(2015)
The spatial-temporal variability and the behavior of the Estuarine Turbidity Maximum (ETM) zone in the shallow, ephemeral, well-flushed Sabaki estuary located in the northern region of the Kenya coast, were studied during ...
Effects of fungal infection on feeding and survival of Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae) on plant sugars
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Background
The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae shows great promise for the control of adult malaria vectors. A promising strategy for infection of mosquitoes is supplying the fungus at plant feeding ...
Observation of Meyer-Neldel rule in Se 100− XM (M= In, Sb) X chalcogenide glasses
(2015)
Non-isothermal Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) studies were done on Se100−XM(M=In, Sb)X chalcogenide glasses prepared by the melt quenching technique. The composition-dependent activation energy for glass to crystal ...
Effects of land-use intensification on distribution and diversity of Fusarium species in Machakos County, Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Land-use intensification has a significant influence on occurrence of soil microorganisms. The effect of this phenomenon on Fusarium species is poorly characterized. One hundred soil samples were obtained from 3 replicated ...
A note on quasi-similarity of operators in Hilbert spaces
(2015)
In this paper we introduce the notion of Quasi-similarity of bounded linear operators in Hilbert Spaces. We do so by defining a quasi- affinity from one Hilbert Space H to K. Some results on quasi- affinities are also ...
Deletion of Plasmodium falciparum Histidine-Rich Protein 2 (pfhrp2) and Histidine-Rich Protein 3 (pfhrp3) Genes in Colombian Parasites
(2015)
A number of studies have analyzed the performance of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) in Colombia with discrepancies in performance being attributed to a combination of factors such as parasite levels, interpretation ...
Information and communication technology talent management alignment with outsourcing: case of a power company in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Increase in ICT investments and new talent management strategies have seen companies adopt ICT outsourcing strategy to improve ICT performance and business value. Best practice in technology solutions requires an organisation ...
Distribution of Elastic Fibres in the Human Abdominal Linea Alba
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The linea alba (LA) supports biomechanical stress generated by intra-abdominal pressure. It is believed to contain connective tissue fibres, which provide tensile strength and pliancy. Previous studies have dwelt on collagen ...
Anti-vancomycin-resistant Enterococcusfaecium and E. faecalis ACTIVITIES of (-)-gossypol and derivatives from Thespesia garckeana.
(2015)
The root extract of Thespesia garckeana yielded three known oxidatively coupled sesquiterpenoids, namely (-)-gossypol (1) and two of its derivatives (-)-6-methoxygossypol (2) and (+)-6,6'-dimethoxygossypol (3), and the ...
