Glacial/interglacial variations in carbon cycling revealed by molecular and isotope stratigraphy of Lake Nkunga, Mt. Kenya, East Africa. Organic Geochemist
(1998)The lipid content (n-alkanes, n-alkanols, n-alkanoic acids) and the δ13C values of these lipids were measured in nineteen sediment samples taken from a 21.18 m long core from Lake Nkunga, a high-altitude (1820 m a.s.l.), ... -
Geological controls on groundwater geochemistry in Butula area, Busia District, Kenya
(2002)The geology of Butula area comprises mainly of rocks of the Archaean Greenstone belt of Western Kenya, especially the metavolcanics of the Nyanzian Group and the metasediments of Kavirondo Group both of which are intruded ... -
Versatile IEEE-488 Data Acquisition and Control Routines for Diode Array Spectrophotometer
(Department of Chemistry, 1991)The UV-visible diode array spectrophotometer is a work-horse instrument for many laboratories. This article provides simple data acquisition and control routines in Microsoft QuickBasic for a HP-8452A diode array ... -

Vulnerability to epidemic malaria in the highlands of Lake Victoria basin: the role of climate change/variability, hydrology, health and socio-economic factors
(2010)Endemic malaria in most of the hot and humid African climates is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. In the last twenty or so years the incidence of malaria has been aggravated by the resurgence of highland malaria ... -
Myristoyl Esters of Lactose", Carbohydrate Research, 125, 253-263.
(J. Sci. TechnolDepartment of Chemistry, 1984-02)Whereas lactose did not undergo a base-catalyzed transesterification with methyl esters of fatty acids, methyl beta-lactoside reacted under identical conditions to give mono- and di-myristates. This difference in behavior ... -
Vulnerability of schools to floods in Nyando River catchment, Kenya
(2010)This paper assesses the vulnerability of schools to floods in the Nyando River catchment (3,600 km2) in western Kenya and identifies measures needed to reduce this vulnerability. It surveys 130 schools in the lower reaches, ...
