Factor analysis of customers perception of mobile banking services in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Mobile banking service, M-Shwari, allows users to save, earn interest and borrow loan over a short period of time using their mobile phones. The service has a potential to spur economic growth if consumers could understand ... -
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 ... -

Interpretation of Late Precambrian Palaeomagnetic Results from Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1971-12-17)An apparent polar wander path for the Late Precambrian of Africa is proposed. It is defined by new data from Kenya and Tanzania covering the period 800 My to 1000 or 1100 My, and with an average polar wander rate of about ... -
The Palaeomagnetism of the Kisii Series, Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1971-12-17)The Precambrian Kisii Series in Western Kenya is unmetamorphosed and contains andesites, rhyolites, quartzites and basalts. The basalts, for which a minimum K-Ar age of 930 My is cited, were sampled at 15 sites, and after ... -

Equatorial ionospheric absorption
(1956)A study has been made of the variation of absorption with frequency and sun's zenith distance χ at Ibadan at vertical incidence. Since the propagation at Ibadan is almost purely transverse, simple theories in terms of ... -

Some geomagnetic effects in the equatorial F2-region
(1955)The diurnal variations of the values of many ionospheric parameters obtained at Ibadan, Nigeria, close to the magnetic equator, are investigated on magnetically quiet days and on magnetically disturbed days. It is found ... -
Flow of electric currents of telluric origin in a long metal pipeline and their effect in relation to corrosion control
(1980)To determine the effects of telluric currents on the corrosion of a 280-mile (450-km) steel pipeline in Kenya, Spencer and Partners, London, and the University of Nairobi, Kenya, estimated the extent to which these currents ...
