Food plants of the Luo Siaya district, Kenya
(1991)Plants used for food by the Luo-speaking people of Siaya District, Kenya, were surveyed as part of a comprehensive ethnobotanical study. Fifty-two crops were observed under cultivation in the district; 69 species are ... -
Pre-design guidelines for passive solar architectural buildings in Kenya
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi., 2003)Analyses have been done on the climatic data to obtain physical building design specifications for various regional climatic conditions in Kenya. The main aim is to provide a general and appropriate information at strategic ... -
Derivation of land surface temperatures from MODIS data using general split window technique
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi., 2005)Fast Atmospheric Signature Code (FASCODE), a line‐by‐line radiative transfer programme, was used to simulate Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data at wavelengths 11.03 and 12.02 µm to ascertain how ... -
A Composite Spacetime Curvature Model
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi., 1998)We develop a curvature specification scheme in which the constraint effects of a localized gravitational potential source on the Hubble expansion comprises the characteristics of the large scale dynamics of the entire ... -
Antigravity in a Composite Spacetime Model

Analysis of van der Waal equation near the critical point
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi., 2004)The van der Waal equation of state is redefined in a functional manner that reveals some additional critical parameters and presents the ideal gas temperature as a lower limit to the van der Waal gas temperature. The law ... -

The chorionic sculpturing of eggs of some Kenyan Phlebotomine sandflies
(1986)Studies of outer chorionic sculpturing of eggs of four species of sandflies were carried out by the use of scanning electron microscope. Two species, P. martini and S. garnhami, which utilize similar resting sites, termite ... -
Factors influencing the development of Brugia pahangi microfilariae on Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes
(1989)Culex quinquefasciatus (Wiedemann) mosquitoes, which are refractory to Brugia pahangi (Buckley and Edeson) microfilariae, were fed simultaneously on Wuchereria bancrofti (Cobbold) and B. pahangi microfilariae. A selected ... -

Promoting photovoltaic energy in Kenya through training
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi., 2013)Kenya relies heavily on fossil fuels and yet it is endowed with good climate suitable for solar photovoltaic [PV] applications. The PV market in Kenya has estimated average sales of 20,000-30,000 home systems and 80,000 ... -
Effects of a biologically active fraction from Melia volkensii on Culex quinquefasciatus
(1995)A chromatographically enriched fraction designated Fraction B from dry fruits of the plant Melia volkensii (family Meliaceae) was evaluated with the objective of determining its toxic and growth inhibiting effects on the ... -
Optimization of X-ray Fluorescence Elemented analysis.an example from Kenya
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi., 1998)A systematic study and application of a radioisotope excited energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis method to multi-elemental determination in Kenyan rock samples whose supporting matrices are of light elements is ... -

17. Evaluation of Immune Associated Cells in Lesions of L. Major Infected Vervet Monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops)
(1995)Vervet monkeys were used to characterize immune associated cell types recruited into lesion sites as a result of experimental primary and secondary infections with Leishmania major. A heavy cellular infiltration consisting ... -
Helminth parasites in the intestinal tract of indigenous poultry in parts of Kenya
(2004)A study was carried out on 456 indigenous poultry intestinal specimens from various towns in Kenya to determine the occurrence and distribution of helminth parasites in the intestinal tract of the birds. Of the specimens ... -
Preliminary reports on Radon Concentration in Drinking Water and Indoor Air in Kenya
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi., 2002)A screening survey has been carried out to determine activity concentrations of radon (222Rn) in drinking water and indoor air in various locations in Kenya. The concentration of 222Rn in water was measured using a liquid ...
