Estimation of Annual Effective Dose and Radiation Hazards due to Natural Radionuclides in Homa Mountain, southwestern, Kenya
(ScholarOneSchool of Physical Sciences, 2000)The radiological hazard of naturally occurring radioactive material in Homa Mountain found in southwestern Kenya was investigated after 210 point measurements and 44 samples were analyzed. In situ measured average outdoor ... -
Estimation Of Azeotropic Compositions Of The Ethanolwater System Below 760mm Hg Pressure

Estimation of climatic parameters from solar indices using ground based data from Kenya, East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2011)The daily meteorological data of relative humidity, maximum, minimum, and average temperatures obtained from five stations of the Kenya Meteorological Department over the period 1986 to 2005 were filtered and reduced to ... -
Estimation of evapotranspiration using fuzzy state models.
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2000)The suitability of fuzzy logic was examined for estimating evapotranspiration (ET). Two fuzzy ET models, one using two input weather parameters (solar radiation and relative humidity), and the other using three input weather ... -
Estimation of heritability of susceptibility to infection with Theileria parva in the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(1995)Heritability of susceptibility to infection with Theileria parva was estimated from full sib families of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks. Male and female ticks of 2 stocks were mated singly. Nineteen full sib families ... -
Estimation of IBNR Claims Reserves Using Linear Models
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2008)Stochastic models for triangular data are derived and applied to claims reserving data. The standard actuarial technique, the chain ladder technique is given a sound statistical foundation and considered as a linear ... -
Estimation of Radiative Forcing due to Aerosols over Selected Sites in Kenya
(Meteorology, 2011)Atmospheric aerosols modulate the radiative budget and ambient air quality of the atmosphere, thus, there is a need to develop both analytical and computational methodological techniques that determine their physical, ... -
Estimation of reference crop evapotranspiration using fuzzy state models
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2001)Daily evapotranspiration (ET) rates are needed for irrigation scheduling. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining accurate field measurements, ET rates are commonly estimated from weather parameters. A few empirical or ... -
Estimation of ultraviolet radiation using Dobson spectrophotometer,
(University of Nairobicollege of biological and physical science, 1998) -
Ethnobotanical studies of medicinal plants used by Traditional Health Practitioners in the management of diabetes in Lower Eastern Province, Kenya
(College of Physical and Biological Sciences, 2012)Ethnopharmacological relevance Diabetes mellitus is a growing problem in many developing countries and the financial burden associated with it is enormous. In traditional African communities, majority of people relies ... -
An ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used by the Nandi people in Kenya.
(University of NairobiCollege of bilogical and physical science, 2008)Ethnopharmacological relevance The study of local knowledge about natural resources is becoming increasingly important in defining strategies and actions for conservation or recuperation of residual forests. Aims of ... -
Ethnobotanical Survey and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Medicinal Plants used by the Samburu Community (Kenya) for treatment of Diarrhorea
(Department(s) of Zoology, University of Nairobi, 2009)The Samburu are a marginalized nomadic people who have no access to conventional medical services. The Samburu therefore depend on traditional medical practice and medicinal plants for most of their medicare. The medicinal ... -

Ethnobotany of Apocynaceae species in Kenya
(University of Nairobi.Department of Botany, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1993-12)The study of Apocynaceae species used in traditional medicine reveals that 25 species in 16 genera are of ethnobotanical interest. Nineteen species are medicinal, sixteen of which fall under the subfamily Plumerioideae ... -
Ethnoknowledge of Bukusu community on livestock tick prevention and control in Bungoma district, western Kenya
(2012)To date, nomadic communities in Africa have been the primary focus of ethnoveterinary research. The Bukusu of western Kenya have an interesting history, with nomadic lifestyle in the past before settling down to either ... -

(University of Nairobi.Department of Botany, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1993-08)The family Labiatae, commonly called the mint family, is one of the flowering group of plants that has been found to have great medicinal potential. In this study, at least twenty-eight (28) indigenous species which are ... -
EU/Th AND 14 C isotope dating of lake sediments from sacred lake and lake Nkunga, Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2001)In the tropical regions, lake and swamp sediment core chronologies have traditionally been established solely by radiocarbon dating. In several instances, however, the radiocarbon sampling resolution has been coarse, ... -
Euler’s differential equation and the identification of the magnetic point‐pole and point‐dipole sources
(University of Nairobi, Department of Geology,, 1994)The concept of point‐pole and point‐dipole in interpretation of magnetic data is often employed in the analysis of magnetic anomalies (or their derivatives) caused by geologic bodies whose geometric shapes approach those ...
