Reaction invariants and their importance in the analysis of eigenvectors, state observability and controllability of the continuous stirred tank reactor
(University of Nairobi, 1974-09)Two different projection operators are found, projecting the state space of a continuous stirred tank reactor (C.S.T.R.) dynamic model on the space of asymptotically invariant states (or on the space of true invariant ... -
Design and field testing Savonius wind pump in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1996-05)We present here improvements in the wind-scoop geometry and efficiency of a doublestark Savonius rotor, developed through a series of wind tunnel and field testing in East Africa. On an aerodynamic performance basis, the ... -
Non-destructive XRF analysis of Nigerian and Kenyan clays
(University of Nairobi, 1997-04)Nigerian and Kenyan clays were analysed using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) technique and thirteen elements (Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Nb and Pb) were detected. The health implications, ... -
Linking social and pathogen transmission networks using microbial genetics in giraffe (Giraffa cameJopardalis)
(British Ecological Society, 2013)Although network analysis has drawn considerable attention as a promising tool for disease ecology, empirical research has been hindered by limitations in detecting the occurrence of pathogen transmission (who transmitted ... -

The Prospects Of Enhanced Space Science Training In Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1997)To a limited extent, space exploration has been conducted in Kenya for almost the last two decades through a joint project (San Marco Project) between the Government of Kenya and the Government of Italy. Other space science ... -
Space science education in the African continent
(University of Nairobi, 1997)Through measurement and interpretation of the spectral, spatial and temporal variations in electromagnetic emissions and reflections from the Earth's surface, important information related to natural resources can be ... -
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 ... -
Characterization and transport of aerosols over equatorial eastern Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2001-09)Measurements of the composition of aerosol partitioned into two size fractions, fine (particle aerodynamic equivalent diameter, dp <= 2.5 mum) and coarse (2.5 < dp <= 10 mum) were made at a high-altitude site over equatorial ... -
Topography of Aortic Bifurcation in a Black Kenyan Population
(2014)Topography of aortic bifurcation is important for gynaecologists, surgeons and radiologists operating in the retroperitoneal area, in order for them to minimize vascular injury. It also influences the occurrence of ... -
Variations in the Position and Length of the Vermiform Appendix in a Black Kenyan Population
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)Background. Topography of the appendix influences its mobility, degree of mobilization of the cecum, and need for additional muscle splitting during appendectomy. Although appendectomy is a common surgical procedure, there ... -
Structure and evolution of the Kenya Rift Valley
(University of Nairobi, 1971)Geological evidence makes possible a reconstruction of events since Miocene times, with about 10 km of crustal separation and the pressure beneath the central rift of an upward intrusion from the mantle. -
Prevalence of Mastitis and Effectiveness of Mastitis Control in Dairy Cattle in Mathira Constituency, Nyeri County, Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2014)This study assessed prevalence of mastitis and effectiveness of mastitis control in dairy cattle in Mathira constituency. Data regarding occurrence of mastitis, farmers' current practices in mastitis control, and administering ... -
Exploring Below Ground Complementarity In Agroforestry Using Sap Flow And Root Fractal Techniques
(University of Nairobi, 1998-11)Indices of shallow rootedness and fractal methods of root system study were combined with sapflow monitoring to determine whether these ‘short-cut’ methods could be used to predict tree competition with crops and complementarity ... -
