Larvicidal activity of a granular formulation of a Melia volkensii (Gurke) acetone extract against Aedes aegypti L
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi, 1998)A method of formulating granules from an acetone extract fraction of the fruit of Melia volkensii, a Kenyan tree known to possess insecticidal properties, was developed. The granules were tested for toxicity to third and ... -
Effect of soil pH (Hydrogen and hydroxyl ions concentration) on the lifecycle of the Tunga penetrans.
(College of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2010)Soil pH is a measure of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions concentration in the soil. The Tpenetrans off host stages inhabits soil during development thus soil pH is an important abiotic factor. Laboratory analysis was carried ... -

(School of Computing and Informatics, University of Nairobi, 2013)Acceptance of the prepaid airtime model-along with the emergence of mobile money-sets the foundation for new business models that allow innovative financing for people living on irregular incomes or with an aversion to ... -
Electrophoretic variation in wild Anopheles pharoensis Theobald in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya
(Cambridge University PressDepartment of Botany, University of Nairobi, 1995)The electrophoretic variation of four enzymes of wild Anopheles pharoensis in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya, was studied between 1987 and 1988. The enzyme loci examined were aldehyde oxidase, a-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, ... -
Petrology and geochemistry of the alkaline intrusion, Jombo Hill, Kenya
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2009)The field occurrence and the known immiscibility between silicate and carbonate melts suggest the Jombo alkaline intrusion and Mrima carbonatite intrusion have come from the same magmatic source. However, only the ijolite ... -
