Serum tumour necrosis factor in children suffering from plasmodium falciparum infection
(1995)
The involvement of tumour necrOSlS factor (TNF) In
human malaria was investigated in children infected
with P.lasmodium falciparum in Kilifi and in uninfected
children in the same community. For these
investigations, ...
Imputation Techniques In Multivariate Analysis
(University of Nairobi, 1999)
This research deals with the problem of missing data in multivariate
analysis, in the sense that not all variables of interest are measured on every
unit or element of the sample. The emphasis of the thesis is on ...
Plasma Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in Trypanosoma congolense infected female goats and the response to Gonadotropini releasing Hormone (GnRH)-Agonist and Clonldine
(1997)
Trypanosomosis is a widespread tropical disease of humans and animals in Africa.
Besides its reversal of sleep/wake cycle, trypanosomosis also causes reproductive
dysfunctions. In trypanosome infected females, decrease ...
An Ecological Assessment Of Littoral Seagrass Communities In Diani And Galu Coastal Beaches, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1995)
Most studies along the Kenyan coast have concentrated on coral
reefs and mangrove swamps. Limited studies have been carried out on
seagrasses though they provide an important link between the
mangroves and the coral ...
The Fabrication and Characterization of Iron Disulfide [FeS2] Photoelectrochemical (PEC) Solar Cell
(University of Nairobi, 1997)
Iron pyrite, also known as iron disulfide, has been classified as one of the most promising
materials for both thin film and photoelectrochemical (PEC) solar cells. In this study, iron pyrite was
grown on tin oxide coated ...
Copper Indium Diselenide (CIS) Based Solar Cells: Effect Of CIS Preparation Conditions And Thickness On Performance
(University of Nairobi, 1999-09)
The effect of CulnSe, thin film preparation conditions and thickness on CuInSe2 based
solar cells has been investigated. Prior to CuInSe2 thin films and device fabrication,
metallic Cu and In resistivity changes with ...
Major Leaf Spot Diseases Of Barley And Their Control Using Fungicides
(University of Nairobi, 1995)
Barley leaves exhibiting disease symptoms were collected from Kenya Breweries experimental plots in Mau Narok and Naivasha. Two barley foliar fungal pathogens, Rhynchcsporium secalis Oud and Bipolsris sorokinienum Sorok ...

(1991)
The total copper content was determined in river
water, sediments, soil, potato shoots and tubers,
weeds, coach grass, coffee leaves and coffee berries
using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS).
Plant available ...
Detection of drug resistant plasmodium Falciparum by polymerase chain reaction Using mutation-specific oligonucleotide Primers
(University of Nairobi, 1993)
Due to increased chloroquine resistance, the antifolate-sulfa
combinations are becoming increasingly important in the
chemotherapy of falciparum malaria. However, resistance to the
antifolates exists and it is important ...
