Hydrology across scales : sensitivity of East African lakes to climate changes
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2011)The lakes of the East African Rift System (EARS) have been intensively studied to better understand the influence of climate change on hydrological systems. The exceptional sensitivity of these rift lakes, however, is both ... -
Environmental variability in Lake Naivasha, Kenya, over the last two centuries
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2011)Lake Naivasha, Kenya, is one of a number of freshwater lakes in the East African Rift System. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, it has experienced greater anthropogenic influence as a result of increasingly ... -
Separation of compounds from gasifier tars by extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide
(ElsevierDepartment of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 1989)Coal gasification tars were extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide at different temperatures and pressures, and the properties of the extraction residues (pitches) were determined by elemental analysis, size-exclusion ... -
Analysis of coal tar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon LC-fractions by capillary SFC on a liquid crystalline stationary phase
(WileyDepartment of chemistry, 2005)Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) on a capillary column coated with a smectic mesomorphic crystalline phase is shown to exhibit a typical turnover effect (retention versus column temperature) for polycyclic aromatic ... -
The Spectral Analysis of X-Ray Binaries from the XMM-Newton Space Craft Data using SAS Software
(College of Physical and Biological Sciences, 2009)A spectral data analysis on a luminous object of sky-coordinates 12h52m24.28s-29d115'02.3'12.6arcsec using Science Analysis Software (SAS) is presented. The analysis, based on data acquired by the Reflection Grating ... -

Immunization of cattle against East Coast fever using Theileria parva (Marikebuni) and relaxation of tick control in North Rift, Kenya
(Department of Chemistry, 2001)A total of 90 animals was immunized against East Coast fever (ECF) using Theileria parva (Marikebuni) stock on three large-scale farms in Kiminini Division, Trans-Nzoia District, North Rift, Kenya. Another 90 cattle served ... -
Use of chromatographic retention measurements to obtain solubilities in a liquid or supercritical fluid mobile phase
(ElsevierDepartment of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 1990)A thermodynamic analysis is given of the relationship between the capacity factor in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) and the solubility of the solute in the mobile ... -
Chemotherapy of East Coast fever: Buparvaquone treatment of field case occurring in Kikuyu and Limuru divisions of Kiambu district, Kenya
(Department of Chemistry, 1995)Seventy-one naturally occurring cases of East Coast Fever (ECF) in Kiambu district, Kenya were treated using buparvaquone. Sixty cows recovered. Of the 11 that died, 5 were due to ECF complicated by anaplasmosis while 6 ... -
Emissions of greenhouse gases and other airborne pollutants from charcoal making in Kenya and Brazil
(Wiley, 2001)Airborne emissions from charcoal-making kilns commonly used in Kenya and Brazil were measured during typical operating conditions. Emission factors were determined for carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide ... -
Clinical efficacy and plasma concentrations of two formulations of buparvaquone in cattle infected with East Coast fever
(Department of Chemistry, 2006)East Coast fever, caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria parva, kills about 600,000 cattle annually in Africa. The hydroxynaphthoquinone compound buparvaquone (BPQ) is curative. Sixteen calves were infected with T. ... -
