The Space-time characteristics of minimum and maximum temperature values over the tropical Eastern Africa region
(University of Nairobi, 1994)This study examined the space-time characteristics of minimum and maximum temperature values over the Tropical Eastern Africa region in order to delineate any significant changes in the traditional space-time temperature ... -

(Department of Botany, University of Nairobi, 2001) -
The Correlation of plasma lipid levels with susceptibility of inbred laboratory mice to experimental Trypanosoma Congolense infection
(University of Nairobi, 2005)Mammalian hosts of African trypanosomes show marked differences in susceptibility to infection with Trypanosoma congolense as judged by survival time, anaemia, and levels of parasitaemia. For instance, the N'Dama cattle ... -
Mean and seasonal diurnal variation of precipitation in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1983)This study was undertaken to establish the geographical and seasonal distribution of the diurnal variation of precipitation in East Africa. An analysis of the diurnal variation of precipitation at about fifty different ... -
The Reproductive biology of the thumbprint emperor, lethrinus harak (forsskal 1775) from the marine waters of Kenya with special emphasis on its fecundity estimates
(University of Nairobi, 1997)The reproductive biology of the Thumbprint Emperor, Lethrinus harak (Forsskal 1775) was studied between April 95 - March 96 off the Kenya coast. The emphasis of the research was to compare its fecundity estimates Using ... -
A Study Of Evaporation Pan Factoring At Katumani In Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Meteorology, 1983)Evaporation of water from a pan (Ep) is an energy driven process which integrates the effects of weather factors, notably solar radiation, temperature , wind and humidity. In their utilization of water (Evapotranspiration or ... -
Role Played By Mima Mounds In The Feeding Dynamics Of Herbivorous Mammals In Nairobi National Park
(University of Nairobi, 1988)Recent studies of Mirna-type earth mounds in Kenya suggest that they differ from adjacent intermound areas in soil texture, plant species composition, primary production and grazing value. This study investigated soil ... -
Modeling the Bivariate time to Mortality from HIV-l
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics, 2006)Frailty models are used in survival analysis to account for unobserved heterogeneity in individual risks to disease and death. Heterogeneity induces deviations in an individual's risk of an event as well as associations ... -
Estimating and forecasting the volatility of a Kenyan Finance Time-series using ARCH Models
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics, 2005)The goal of this study is to present an empirical analysis of the return and conditional variance of two Kenyan finance series using models of the ARCH class. To help understanding the empirical results, a critical review ... -
Evaluation of groundwater potential in Buna, Wajir District
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2007)Geophysical and hydrogeological investigations were carried out to evaluate the groundwater potentials in Buna, Wajir district, in order to establish areas of ample stock of groundwater that could be developed as a source ... -
A Comparative analysis of the performance of flood frequency distributions in the Lake Victoria Basin in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2006)Floods have always been a major national as well as societal concern. Despite the fascinating achievements of science and technology in the 21stcentury, floods continue to hit every generation of human beings, bringing ... -

The Use Of Generalized Spatial Data Analysis Technique To Map Poverty In Somalia
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics, 2008)This study reviews theory on logistic and extends to auto-logistic regression, which is appropriate for binary data. This auto-logistic regression allows for local spatial autocorrelation by the inclusion in a logistic ... -
Poverty mapping spatial regression analysis of settlement data from Somalia
(University of NairobiSchool of Mathematics, 2007)The study briefly reviewed spatial regression models for describing and explaining spatial data variation. One of the regression models, the spatial Durbin model (SDM) was used to identify possible causes of poverty in ... -
Concentration levels and patterns of fluoride in groundwater resources from Kendu Bay area, Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2007)Water samples from twenty eight boreholes and twenty six wells were sampled in Kendu Bay area which lies between longitudes 34° 35' and 34° 40' E and latitudes 0° 21' and 0° 27' S. The sampling was done in two seasons: ... -
A Secure Electronic Voting System Prototype
(University of Nairobi, 2005)The growth of computers and information technology over the last few years has been explosive. Computers have become necessities in virtually every area of modern life; they have brought vast benefits to fields as diverse ... -
