Optimization of fuzzy evapotranspiration model through neural training with input-output examples
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2001)In a previous study, we demonstrated that fuzzy evapotranspiration (ET) models can achieve accurate estimation of daily ET comparable to the FAO Penman-Monteith equation, and showed the advantages of the fuzzy approach ... -
Contrasts between the Vibronic Contributions in the tris-(2,2′-bipyridyl)Osmium(II) Emission Spectrum and the Implications of Resonance-Raman Parameters
(Department of Chemistry, 2009)The emission spectrum of the tris-(2,2′-bipyridine)osmium(II) metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited-state frozen solution at 77 K differs qualitatively from that expected based on its reported resonance-Raman (rR) ... -
Responding to crisis: patterns of health care utilization in central Kenya amid economic decline
(2003)À cause de la dette, de l'ajustement structurel, de la pauvreté et d'une mauvaise gestion, les états africains sont devenus de plus en plus incapables d'offrir une couverture médicale adéquate à leurs citoyens. La crise ... -
Full-length Hiv Type 1 Proviral Sequencing Of 10 Highly Exposed Women From Nairobi, Kenya Reveals A High Proportion Of Intersubtype Recombinants.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Medical Microbiology, 2008-06)Phylogenetic analysis has revealed that the current HIV/AIDS pandemic consists of a multitude of different viral clades and recombinant viruses. The predominant circulating HIV-1 clade in Kenya is A1; however, Kenya borders ... -
Modeling water balance components in relation to field layout in lowland paddy fields. II: Model application
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 1996-04)In a companion paper, the development of a water balance model to predict the changes in water balance components in relation to field layout in lowland paddy fields was outlined. In this study, the model was applied to a ... -
Accountability And Inaction: NGOs And Resource Lodging In Development
(2010)From the late 1980s, research on NGOs had a normative focus and was vulnerable to changing donor preoccupations. This article contributes a new conceptual approach, analysing the practices through which relationships and ... -
Computational Modeling of the Triplet Metal-to-Ligand Charge-Transfer Excited-State Structures of Mono-Bipyridine–Ruthenium(II) Complexes and Comparisons to their 77 K Emission Band Shapes
(Department of Chemistry, 2013)A computational approach for calculating the distortions in the lowest energy triplet metal to ligand charge-transfer (3MLCT = T0) excited states of ruthenium(II)–bipyridine (Ru–bpy) complexes is used to account for the ... -
Computerized Evaluation of Fetal Heart Rate during Tocolytic Treatment: Comparison between Atosiban and Ritodrine
(2009)We compared the effects of ritodrine and atosiban treatments on fetal cardiovascular behavior by computerized nonstress test (c-NST) analysis. Women diagnosed with preterm labor were randomized to receive either atosiban ... -
Effects of Vapor-Pressure Deficit and Net-Irradiance Calculation Methods on Accuracy of Standardized Penman-Monteith Equation in a Humid Climate
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2005-06)The effects of some common vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and net irradiance (Rn) calculation methods on the accuracy of ETo values estimated by using the standardized ASCE Penman-Monteith (ASCE-PM) equation for short grass ... -
Decreased Immune Activation In Resistance To Hiv-1 Infection Is Associated With An Elevated Frequency Of Cd4(+)cd25(+)foxp3(+) Regulatory T Cells.
(University of NairobiDepartment of Medical Microbiology, 2009-05)Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-resistant commercial sex workers provide a unique opportunity to study correlates of protection associated with natural resistance to HIV infection. Emerging data from studies of these ... -
Performance indicators of organized cervical screening in Romagna (Italy)
(2003)The availability of published data from organized cervical screening programmes in southern Europe is scant. In the Italian area of Romagna, a first round of organized screening (based on a 3-yearly Pap smear for women ... -
Understanding yields in alley cropping maize (Zea mays L. ) and Cassia siamea Lam. under semi-arid conditions in Machakos, Eastern Kenya
(Department of Geography, University of NairobiDepartment of Environmental Sciences, C.T. de Wit Graduate School of Production Ecology and Resource Conservation, Wageningen University, Netherlands.Department of Botany, University of NairobiDepartment of Meteorology, University of Nairobi, 2001)Six seasons of experiments in Machakos, Kenya, revealed that above about 150 mm of rainfall, maize yields per row in alley cropped "replacement" agroforestry (AF) plots, of Cassia siamea Lam. and maize (Zea mays, cv. ... -
Observations on the Low-Energy Limits for Metal-to-Ligand Charge-Transfer Excited-State Energies of Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complexes
(Department of Chemistry, 2010)The 77 K emission spectral maxima of bis(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes are found to approach a limit at energies below about 14 000 cm−1. There is also evidence for related low-energy excited-state limits in some other ... -
Simulation of nitrate distribution under drip irrigation using artificial neural networks
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2004-04)Accurate knowledge of nitrate distribution in the soil under fertigation through drip-irrigation systems is fundamentally important for system design and management. The determination of nitrate distribution through modeling ... -
