The spatial and temporal patterns of the East African seasonal rainfall derived from principal component analysis
(1989)
this study, rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) was used to study the spatial and temporal characteristics of
asonal rainfall over East Africa during the period 1922-1983. The RPCA solutions were derived from both ...
Effect of plant-derived organic binders on fracture toughness and fatigue of kaolin-based refractories
(2008)
The fracture properties of kaolin-based refractories prepared using plant-derived binders from okra and “mrenda” have been investigated and compared. It was observed that the MOR of fired samples improved from 37.5 ± 0.1 ...
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 ...
Evaluation of multiplex pcr in detection of crop alleles and differential hybridization among weedy sorghum populations
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Utility of the PCR methodology in detection of crop alleles in weedy species has the potential for improvement through techniques that improve efficiency and minimize the cost and time required. This study evaluated the ...
Embracing Continuous Auditing: A Case for Public Sector in Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 2014)
Aims: The objective of this study was to assess the current state of continuous auditing in the state departments in Kenya and to adapt a framework to implement continuous auditing by the Public Sector Audit Organization.

The Dynamics of Vector-Host Feeding Contact Rate with Saturation: A Case of Malaria in Western Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2013-10)
In this study, we develop an expression for a saturated mosquito feeding rate in an SIS malaria model to determine its effect on infection and transmission dynamics of malaria in the highlands of Western Kenya. The basic ...
Clinical malaria reduces human attractiveness to mosquitoes
(University Of Nairobi, 2007)
Evolutionary fitness concepts dictate that blood parasites should regulate
their transmission success by enhancing the responsiveness of
arthropod vectors to infectious hosts. We observed that the presence of
trophozoite ...
Dye-Sensitized and Amorphous Silicon Photovoltaic (PV Devices' Outdoor Performance: A Comparative Study
(2013)
The performance of a dye-sensitized solar
module (DSSM) has been investigated under different air
mass (AM), irradiance intensity and temperature conditions
in Nairobi, Kenya. The good response of the DSSM to short
wavelength ...
Monitoring spatial-temporal variability of aerosol over Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014-03-25)
This study sought to investigate the spatial and temporal variations of aerosols over Kenya based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite sensor Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data for the period ...
