Movements and spatial patterns of Mastomys erythroleucus in maize cropping systems in the Kenyan Rift Valley
(Centre for Advanced Studies in Environmental Law and Policy (CASELAP), 2005-12)We studied movements and spatial patterns of Mastomys erythroleucus in four permanent capturemark- recapture grids in maize cropping systems in the Kenyan Rift Valley. Mean daily movements were affected by maize crop ... -
Human and natural impacts on forests along lower Tana river, Kenya: implications towards conservation and management of endemic primate species and their habitat
(Centre for Advanced Studies in Environmental Law and Policy (CASELAP), 2007)Seventy-three forest patches were assessed to determine the effects of human and natural impact on native forests along the Lower Tana River flood plains in Kenya between January and March 2001. Seventeen of these forests ... -
Coping with Increasing Food Prices in Nakuru, Kenya: Urban school farming as a way to make school lunches affordable
(2009)School feeding is common in Africa and widely recognised as beneficial for both the physical and mental development of the children. However, mainly due to the sharp increase of food prices, many parents are no longer ... -
Management Politics in Kenya's Sugar Industry: Towards an Effective Framework
(Department of Goverment, University of Nairobi, 2001)Poor management, corruption and vested political interests have made Kenya's sugar industry so inefficient that the country's goal of attaining self-sufficiency in sugar production will remain unattainable for a long ... -
The legacy of the white highlands: Land rights, ethnicity and the post-2007 election violence in Kenya
(Taylor & FrancisInstitute for Development Studies, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2009)A violent conflict engulfed Kenya after a flawed and disputed presidential election result in December 2007. Before then, Kenya was considered an icon, a bastion of political stability and economic prosperity in Africa. ... -
Public Service Accountability and Governance in Kenya since Independence
(Department of Political Science & Public Administration, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 2003)Bad governance is a major contributor to poor service delivery in Africa. In Kenya, the level of accountability in the management of public affairs has consistently declined since independence. This is in spite of various ... -

A Personal Overview−Central and East Africa
(Department of Literature, Faculty of Arts, University of Nairobi, 2005)Ever since Professor G.D. Killam of the University of Guelph edited The Writings of East and Central Africa (1984),and the conferences that lead to the changes in the English syllabi of Secondary Schools, nothing ... -
Wave propagation in strongly coupled quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma in a magnetic field
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1989)A cold electron gas fills the lowest Landau level for superstrong magnetic fields and very low densities. In such cases, in general, the potential energy of the particles is equal to or greater than their kinetic energy ... -
High-frequency sum-rule expansion for relativistic quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor IV: Radiation effect
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1994)A high-frequency sum-rule expansion for all transverse elements of the relativistic quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor with spin particles atT=0 K in a situation where the self-consistent magnetic ... -
School farming for school feeding: experiences from Nakuru, Kenya
(2010)School feeding is an important development tool and is related to at least three Millennium Development Goals. School farming has been largely overlooked in the urban agriculture literature but with many parents nowadays ... -

Strong coupling effects on plasma dispersion in a magnetic field.
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1982)In weakly correlated plasmas the potential energy of the particles is much less than their kinetic energy. In cases, however, where the potential energy of the particles is equal to or greater than their kinetic energy ... -
