LINE-1 preTa Elements in the Human Genome
(Department of Biological Sciences, Biological Computation and Visualization Center, Louisiana State University, 202 Life Sciences Building, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA, 2003)The preTa subfamily of long interspersed elements (LINEs) is characterized by a three base-pair “ACG” sequence in the 3′ untranslated region, contains approximately 400 members in the human genome, and has low level of ... -
Lineament Map Of Kenya: Correlations Of Lineaments To Known Geological Data

Linear Estimation of Scale Parameter for Logistic Distribution Based on Consecutive Order Statistics
(Indian Statistical InstituteDepartment of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2007)Linear estimation of the scale parameter of the logistic population based on the sum of consecutive order statistics, when the location parameter is unknown, is discussed. A method based on a pair of single spacing ... -
Linearly representable nonstationary sequences in Hilbert Spaces

Linkage disequilibrium between alleles at highly polymorphic mini- and micro-satellite loci of Theileria parva isolated from cattle in three regions of Kenya
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2006)Theileria parva schizont-infected lymphocyte culture isolates from western, central and coastal Kenya were analysed for size polymorphism at 30 T. parva-specific variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci using a panel of ... -
Linkages between global sea surface temperatures and decadal rainfall variability over Eastern Africa region
(Royal Meteorological SocietyMeteorology, 2012)Linkages between dominant spatio-temporal decadal rainfall variability modes and the global sea surface temperature (SST) modes are investigated over East Africa region for the period 1950–2008. Singular value ... -
Linkages between the Indian Ocean Dipole and East African Seasonal Rainfall Anomalies
(University of Nairobi, Department of MeteorologyGeology, 2008)This study was designed to understand the nature of the relationship between the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) index and seasonal rainfall in East Africa using statistical approaches. The statistical methods used in this ... -
Linking Climate Information to Livelihood Strategies through ICTs: the Role of Integrated Sustainable Livelihoods Framework
(University of Nairobi, 2017)In this paper, we propose that an Integrated Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (I-SLF), that mainstreams ICT-driven climate information, provides the ideal means by which such information may be leveraged to ensure sustainable ... -

Lithological Influences on Occurrence of High-Fluoride Waters in The Central Kenya Rift
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Within the East African rift, groundwater recharge results from the complex interplay of geology, land cover, geomorphology, climate and on going volcano-tectonic processes across a broad range of spatial and temporal ... -
Lithology, colour and mineralogy of pelagic sediments from the Romanche fracture zone (RFZ) in the equatorial atlantic
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1992)Sediment cores from the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ) in the equatorial Atlantic have been described visually and microscopically as well as analyzed by X-ray diffraction techniques in order to study the main controls on ... -

Lithostratigraphy, provenance and facies distribution of Archaean cratonic successions in western Kenya
(Elsevier,Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1995)The greenstone belt of the Tanzanian shield in Western Kenya is composed of two supracrustal successions, which form the Nyanzian and Kavirondian Groups. The Nyanzian Group at the base is composed of mafic tholeiitic ... -
Lithostratigrapy and distribution of Pleistocene sediments of the Munyu wa Gicheru Formation in South Kenya Rift Valley
(ElsevierDepartment of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1999)Pleistocene sediments of the eastern African Rift Valley have been subjected to intensive study over the last few years, because they are very useful in the study of palæolakes, climatic changes and the study of lacustrine ... -
Litter Fall Dynamics of Restored Mangroves (Rhizophora mucronata Lamk. and Sonneratia alba Sm.) in Kenya
(2014)Mangrove forests are active carbon sinks and important for nutrient cycling in coastal ecosystems. Restoration of degraded mangrove habitats enhances return of ecosystem goods and services, including carbon sequestration. ... -
