A decade of surgical volunteerism in Kenya: Impact and possibilities
(University of Nairobi, 2013) -
Response of cross-and tee-shaped concrete column sections to combined flexure and axial loading: technical paper
(2000)Most reinforced concrete columns are square or rectangular in shape. For such, comprehensive design charts and software are available to enable design for combined compression and uniaxial bending. The columns designed to ... -
Efficient shear reinforcement for RC beams - analysis using compression field theory
(1997)It is known that inclined reinforcement is effective in resisting shear in structural concrete beams, but such reinforcement is only specified in design codes to be in the form of bent-up flexural longitudinal reinforcement. ... -
Prediction of failure loads for RC column sections with biaxial bendings: technical paper
(1998)Major reinforced concrete columns are invariably subjected to combined biaxial bending and compression loading. The available design methods for such columns enable an approximate analysis based on symmetric and uniform ... -
Metabolic effects of the corpus allatum hormone in the desert locust, schistocerca gregaria
(University of Nairobi, 1965-09)SOME thirty years ago, Wigglesworth1 first demonstrated that yolk deposition in insect oocytes is controlled by the corpus allatum hormone. Since then, the hormonal control of vitellogenesis has been complicated by some ... -
The Architecture of the Accessory Reproductive Glands of the Male Desert Locust: III. Components of the Muscular wall
(University of Nairobi, 1970)An electron microscopic study of the sheath enclosing the accessory reproductive glands of the male desert locust has shown that it consists, for the most part, of a single myofibril, and that other tissues (nerve fibres, ... -
Testing of consistent trends in stock performance in the Nairobi securities exchange
(University of Nairobi, 2015)Consistent stock performance contradicts random adjustment of stock prices in efficient markets and is thus anomalous despite the potential of generating significant profits for investors. This research set out to test the ... -
Evaluation of the immunochromatographic strip test for the rapid diagnosis of antenatal syphilis in women in Eldoret, Kenya
(2009)Objective To determine the adjuvant potential of artemisinin with a soluble leishmanial antigen in vaccinating BALB/c mice. Methods Seventy two female BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into six groups. The mice ... -
Drugs for neglected diseases initiative
(2005)The Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi) is a not-for-profit organisation with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded by six research institutions and an international humanitarian organisation*, DNDi ... -
New trends in vaccine development
(1989) -
Management of bilateral fracture femur with implant failure: a case report
(KMA, 2011)Successful treatment of a fracture by use of implants is a race between rate of fracture healing and metal fatigue of implant used. Implant failure is thus one of the most feared but often encountered complications in the ... -
Evaluation of the adjuvanticity of artemisinin with soluble Leishmania major antigens in BALB/c mice
(2009)Objective To determine the adjuvant potential of artemisinin with a soluble leishmanial antigen in vaccinating BALB/c mice. Methods Seventy two female BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into six groups. The mice ...
