Atmospheric emission budgets for domestic biomass burning in Kenya
(2000)
The thesis is the culmination of a series of efforts designed to quantify the annual contribution of domestic biofuel burning in Kenya to local, regional and global atmospheric trace gas budgets in 1997, by way of a ...
Laboratory diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus and characterisation of serotypes prevalent in Nairobi
(2000)
Correct diagnosis of HIV depends on HIV variants that are in circulation
in a particular community as well as the type of HIV test kit that is applied. HIV
serotypes have been found to vary from one geographical area to ...
Analysis of two putative candidate genes for Isometamidium resistance in Trypanosoma congolense
(2000)
The efficacy of the few available trypanocides is being seriously compromised
by the emergence and spread of drug resistant trypanosome strains. Elucidation
of the molecular genetic basis of this phenotype may contribute ...
Trace gas emissions from biomass cookstoves in Kiambu and Bungoma districts. (A pilot study).
(2000)
A study incorporating an opinion survey and quantification of selected trace gases
(C02, CO and NO) emitted from biomass fires was conducted in Kiambu and
Bungoma districts respectively between 1996 and 1997. The 3-stone ...
Characterisation of polymorpidsm within genes encoding bovine Fc gamma receptors CD16, CD32 and CD64
(2000)
Fc gamma receptors (FcYR) are a group of transmembrane molecules that specifically bind immunoglobulins of the IgG isotypes via the Fc portion and mediate several immunological functions. These molecules have been extensively ...
Diagnosis and predictability of east african rainfall on intraseasonal to interannual timescales
(2000)
Almost all facets of societal and economic activities in East Africa are critically dependent on
the variability of seasonal rainfall which mostly occurs during March-May (long rains) and
September/October-December (short ...
Surface modified electrodes as a novel technique or characterizing adansonia digitata fruit
(2000)
The results presented in this thesis show that electrochemical analysis have been
successfully carried out on raw plant material of Adansonia digitata fruit. All the four
components of the A. digitata fruit, i.e. the ...
