The University of Nairobi School of Business and Plymouth University Business School were commissioned by the UK Department for International Development to assess the capacity of business schools and other institutions ...
Spatial coherence and potential predictability assessment of intraseasonal statistics of wet and dry spells over Equatorial Eastern Africa
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2012)
The aim of this study was to derive components of the intraseasonal rainfall variations from the daily rainfall
in the Equatorial Eastern Africa region and assess their spatial coherence, a pointer to their potential ...
Transmission intensity and the immunoepidemiology of bancroftian filariasis in East Africa
(2001)
Previous attempts to determine the interactions between filariasis transmission intensity, infection and chronic disease have been limited by a lack of a theoretical framework that allows the explicit examination of ...
Stochastic modelling of regional annual rainfall anomalies in East Africa
(1986)
ARIMA (p, d, q) models were fitted to areal annual rainfall of two homogeneous regions in East Africa with rainfall records extending between the period 1922-80. The areal estimates of the regional rainfall were derived ...
Teleconnection between Seasonal Rainfall over East Africa and Global Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
(1988)
In this study, global sea surface temperature anomalies within ±300 latitudes of the equator were
correlated with the time series of the major rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) modes of
the seasonal rainfall ...
HIV/AIDS risk and worry in Northern Kenya

Self-deception does not explain high-risk sexual behavior in the face of HIV/AIDS: A test from northern Kenya
(2006)
Throughout sub-Saharan Africa, there is resistance to changing sexual behavior despite survey data indicating high levels of knowledge about HIV transmission patterns and high-risk behavior. Previous explanations for this ...
Human Evolution and Migration in a Variable Environment: The Amplifier Lakes of East Africa
(2013-06-23)
The development of the Cenozoic East African Rift System (EARS) profoundly re-shaped the landscape and significantly increased the amplitude of short-term environmental response to climate variation. In particular, the ...
Quasi-periodic patterns in the East African rainfall records
(1982)
In this study East African rainfall records within the period 1922-80 were
subjected to spectral analysis in order to examine whether the
fluctuations in rainfall during 1922-80 exhibited any periodic or quasi-periodic ...
