Global-Regional Linkages in the Earth System
(2002)This book synthesizes current knowledge of regional-global linkages in four regions to demonstrate that study of environmental change on a regional scale can enhance understanding of global-scale environmental changes. The ... -
Late Holocene sedimentology and palaeoenvironment of Kiluli Swamp, Mount Kenya
(2003)Kiluli Swamp is an extensive valley swamp near the lower limit of the montane forest on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya, East Africa. The swamp is fed by a small spring on the northeastern margin, and the water table ... -
Survey on DNS configurations, interdependencies, resilience and security for *.ke domains
(School of Computing and Informatics, University of Nairobi, 2012)Statistics and research work show that the Legacy DNS as used today is slow, vulnerable to denial of service attacks, and does not support fast updates. To further compound this problem, configuring the DNS is complex and ... -
Taxis assays measure directional movement of mosquitoes to olfactory cues
(School of Biological Sciences, 2013)Background Malaria control methods targeting indoor-biting mosquitoes have limited impact on vectors that feed and rest outdoors. Exploiting mosquito olfactory behaviour to reduce blood-feeding outdoors might be a ... -
Soil nutrient content, soil moisture and yield of Katumani maize in a semi-arid area of Kenya
(School of Biological Sciences, 2007)Many farmers in Kenya’s semi arid lands cannot afford to purchase inorganic fertilisers to improve their crop yields. They thus rely on traditional agronomic practices such as addition of crop residues, animal manures ... -

Moving cheaply: energetics of walking in the african elephant
(Institute of Animal Physiology and Biotechnology ResearchDepartment of Biology, Louisiana State UniversityDepartment of Biology, University of Ottawa, 1995)Large animals have a much better fuel economy than small ones, both when they rest and when they run. At rest, each gram of tissue of the largest land animal, the African elephant, consumes metabolic energy at 1/20 the ... -
Nitrogen metabolism and renal function in the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirkii).
(Institute of Animal Physiology and Biotechnology Research, 2000)Nitrogen metabolism and kidney function of the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirkii) were studied under a range of controlled, experimental conditions and diets. Dik-dik antelope remained in nitrogen balance even when ... -
Lake Naivasha, Kenya: Ecology, Society and Future
(Freshwater Biological AssociationDepartment of Biology, University of LeicesterDepartment of Geography, University of LeicesterZoology Department, National Museums of Kenya,Birdlife International, Africa Secretariat, ICIPE CampusSchool of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi,, 2011)We examine the degradation of the natural capital and ecosystem services of an important tropical lake, Kenya’s Lake Naivasha, in the context of human activities and exploitation since the mid-20th century. These factors ... -
A Preliminary Evaluation of the DDT Contamination of Sediments in Lakes Natron and Bogoria (Eastern Rift Valley, Africa)
(Royal Swedish Academy of SciencesDepartment of Biology, University of Milan,Department of Geography, University of Leicester,Department of Structural and Functional Biology, University of Insubria, Via Dunant 3, 21100 Varese, ItalySchool of Biological Sciences, University of NairobiDepartment of Chemical and Environmental Sciences, University of Insubria, Via Valleggio 11, 22100 Como, Italy, 2011)Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is still used in Africa for the indoor control of malaria and it may represent a potential hazard for wildlife. The littoral sediments of two alkaline-saline lakes, Natron (Tanzania) ...
