Wave propagation in quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma in a magnetic field
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1988)A cold electron gas fills the lowest Landau level for high enough magnetic fields and for low enough densities. Such a situation is expected to occur for the Malmberg-O'Neil experiment and also for pulsar crusts and ... -
Wave propagation in strongly coupled classical plasmas in an external magnetic field
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1988-05)When a small perturbation is applied to the plasma dispersion, a small shift of frequency due to correlation occurs. This is justified even for strong coupling, since the effect is proportional tok 2 (k is the wave vector) ... -
Wave propagation in strongly coupled quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma in a magnetic field
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1989)A cold electron gas fills the lowest Landau level for superstrong magnetic fields and very low densities. In such cases, in general, the potential energy of the particles is equal to or greater than their kinetic energy ... -
Wavelet Compression And Data Fusion: An Investigation Into The Automatic Classification Of Urban Environments Using Colour Photography And Laser Scanning Data.
(Geospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2000)The field of wavelets has opened up new opportunities for the compression of satellite sensory imagery. The paper examines the influence of wavelet compression on the automatic classification of urban environments. Airborne ... -
Wavelet Compression And The Automatic Classification Of Landsat Imagery.
(Geospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2000)Investigation of the influence of data compression techniques on the quality and further processing of satellite sensor imagery is a research and development topic which remains both current and important. In principle, ... -
Wavelet Compression And The Automatic Classification Of Urban Environments Using High Resolution Multispectral Imagery And Laser Scanning Data
(Geospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2001) -
Wax digestion by Black-throated Honey-guides Indicator indicator
(University of Nairobi, 1988-10)The honey-guides (Indicatoridae) are brood parasites and specialist feeders on wax; the larger species obtain wax from bees' nests and the smaller ones from scale-insects or fruit (Friedmann 1955, Diamond 1985). The ability ... -
The way forward for e-schools project in Kenyan secondary schools (Lessons learnt from the Nepad e-schools project in Kenya)
(University of Nairobi,School of Education, 2010)Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become common place entities in all aspects of life. Over the past twenty years the use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all ... -
The way forward in civil engineering training
(Department of Civil & Construction Engineering, University of Nairobi,, 2008)The civil engineering teaching involves provision of sound professional education so that upon graduation the student is able to fit into the various disciplines of civil engineering. These disciplines can be broadly ... -
Ways Of Being And Not Being In Nairobi

Ways of improving the prognosis of ventral hernias in food animals.
(Department of Clinical Studies, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Nairobi, 1990)Any displacement of abdominal contents through "unnatural" openings in any part of the abdominal wall is termed a ventral hernia (Frank 1970; Keown 1976; Tirgari 1979; McIlwraith 1984). Ventral hernia is an acquired type ... -
We Asked the Experts: The Tropical Surgeon: Everywhere in Chains But Not Imprisoned
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Surgical practice in the tropics very much reminds one of the famous quote attributed to Jean-Jacques Rousseau: ‘‘Man is born free, but he is everywhere in chains’’. The numerous and onerous challenges of tropical ... -
"We can tell a good teacher who cares, understands, and can be confidential about it": youth and caregiver experiences with HIV disclosure to schools in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2023)Introduction: Disclosure of one's HIV status to others is often difficult due to the fear of stigma. However, disclosure may facilitate receiving social support. Many youth living with HIV (YLH) are enrolled in school as ... -
We count too: addressing the orientation and adequacy of health workers for mental health needs in Africa.

"We do not bury dead livestock like human beings": Community behaviors and risk of Rift Valley Fever virus infection in Baringo County, Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)BACKGROUND: Rift Valley Fever (RVF), is a viral zoonotic disease transmitted by Aedes and Culex mosquitoes. In Kenya, its occurrence is associated with increased rains. In Baringo County, RVF was first reported in 2006-2007 ... -
"We don't want our clothes to smell smoke": changing malaria control practices and opportunities for integrated community-based management in Baringo, Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2018)BACKGROUND: The decline in global malaria cases is attributed to intensified utilization of primary vector control interventions and artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). These strategies are inadequate in ... -
