Effects Of Land Use Change On Soil Qualities In The Sasumua Catchment Of Tana River Drainage System In Nyandarua District, Kenya
(Department of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, University of Nairobi, 2008)Effects of land use conversion from forest (F) to annual crop cultivation (AC) and grazing land (LG) on soil qualities were investigated in Sasumua catchment with the aim of (a) determining the changes in selected physical ... -
A comparison between experimental measurements and Monte Carlo simulation of neutron flux distribution within an Am-Be Howitzer
(2013-08-01)The spatial thermal and fast neutron flux distributions within the cavity of a 370 GBq Am-Be neutron source-based howitzer were determined experimentally by foil activation and computationally by Monte Carlo method. A ... -

Relationship Between Incidence of Late Blight Tuber Rot, Foliage Blight Control and the Effect of Weather and Soil Variables
(2008)The relationship of late blight disease, tuber blight and the effects of weather and soil variables were determined at 2 distinct environments of New York and Kenya during 1999 to 2001. In well replicated field experiments ... -
Determinants of failure to access care in mothers referred to HIV treatment programs in Nairobi, Kenya
(University of NairobiFaculty of medicine, 2010)Background. As prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) programs and HIV treatment programs rapidly expand in parallel, it is important to determine factors that influence the transition of HIV-infected ... -

The tetranychid mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) of Kenya and a redescription of the species Peltanobia erasmusi Meyer (Acari: Tetranychidae) based on males
(2009)This paper reports 18 tetranychid mite species (Acari: Tetranychidae) from various plant hosts in Kenya. Four species of these belong to the subfamily Bryobiinae and the other 14 belong to the subfamily Tetranychinae. ... -
Hydrogen bonding and catalysis: a novel explanation for how a single amino acid substitution can change the pH optimum of a glycosidase.
(University of NairobiFaculty of medicine, 2000-05)The pH optima of family 11 xylanases are well correlated with the nature of the residue adjacent to the acid/base catalyst. In xylanases that function optimally under acidic conditions, this residue is aspartic acid, whereas ... -
Dissecting the electrostatic interactions and pH-dependent activity of a family 11 glycosidase.
(University of NairobiFaculty of medicine, 2001)Previous studies of the low molecular mass family 11 xylanase from Bacillus circulans show that the ionization state of the nucleophile (Glu78, pK(a) 4.6) and the acid/base catalyst (Glu172, pK(a) 6.7) gives rise to its ... -
