Controlled Texturing of Aluminum Sheet for Solar Energy Applications
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Aluminum sheets were polished to reduce ruggedness and then textured in varying acid-ethanol
concentration etchant to form pores. The textured surface was characterized structurally by using
X-ray diffraction (XRD)which ...
An alternative clean-up column for the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls in solid matrices.
(2015-12)
The need for continuous monitoring of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) has necessitated the development of analytical techniques that are sensitive and selective with minimal reagent requirement. In light of this, we ...
Selection and Spread of Artemisinin-Resistant Alleles in Thailand Prior to the Global Artemisinin Resistance Containment Campaign
(2015)
The recent emergence of artemisinin resistance in the Greater Mekong Subregion poses a major threat to the global effort to control malaria. Tracking the spread and evolution of artemisinin-resistant parasites is critical ...
Molecular Epidemiology of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Outbreak, Tumbes, Peru, 2010–2012
(2015)
During 2010–2012, an outbreak of 210 cases of malaria occurred in Tumbes, in the northern coast of Peru, where no Plasmodium falciparum malaria case had been reported since 2006. To identify the source of the parasite ...
Adoption of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems in Kenya: A Case of Selected Manufacturing Firms in Nairobi Metropolitan
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Although the manufacturing sector in Kenya faces low productivity levels, stiff competition and high production
costs, firms are still using inefficient technology. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system can ...
Increasing prevalence of a novel triple-mutant dihydropteroate synthase genotype in Plasmodium falciparum in western Kenya
(2015)
The molecular basis of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) resistance lies in a combination of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in two genes coding for Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (Pfdhfr) and P. falciparum ...
Analysis of the temporal evolution of total column nitrogen dioxide and ozone over Nairobi, kenya using OMI Measurements.
(University of Nairobi, 2015-06-25)
Concurrent measurement and analysis of Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)and Ozone (O3) are essential for improved understanding of ozone distribution. This study sought to analyse the temporal evolution of total column NO2 and O3 ...
Structural and Optical Characterization of Tin Oxide Codoped with Aluminum and Sulphur
(2015)
Thin films of Tin oxide co-doped with 28at%Aluminum and varied concentration of Sulphur were prepared on 1mm thick, 1 × 1 cm2 glass substrates at 470℃ by spray pyrolysis technique. Films were produced from 2.0 M solution ...
