Wave propagation in strongly coupled classical plasmas in an external magnetic field
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1988-05)When a small perturbation is applied to the plasma dispersion, a small shift of frequency due to correlation occurs. This is justified even for strong coupling, since the effect is proportional tok 2 (k is the wave vector) ... -
Settlement Schemes as Centres of Socio-Economic Change: The Case of Nyansiongo Scheme Nyamira District, Nyanza Province, Kenya
(University of NairobiCollege of Humanities and Social Sciences, 1990)Field work for this study was conducted between the months of November 1989 and February 1990. Its purpose was to establish the direction and magnitude of change that had occurred among the resettled farmers, socially and ... -
Nasal consonant processes in Kitharaka
(University of NairobiDepartment of Linguistics and Languages, 2002)The paper discusses three processes that make nasal consonants and especially /n/ the most dynamic area of Kitharaka (a Bantu language spoken in Kenya) phonology. Whereas the language has four underlying nasal segments, ... -
High-frequency sum-rule expansion for relativistic quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1993-07)A high-frequency sum rule for all elements of the relativistic spinless quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma response tensor atT=0 K is derived. It is found that the frequency of oscillations is reduced by the relativistic effect. -
Migrants, urban poverty and the changing nature of urban–rural linkages in Kenya
(2007)In the literature on rural–urban linkages in sub-Saharan Africa the focus has so far been predominantly on the urban dwellers contributing to the livelihood of the rural ones, usually through remittances from family members ... -
High-frequency sum-rule expansion of relativistic quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor. II: Spin effect
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1994-02)A high-frequency sum rule for all elements of the relativistic quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma with spins atT=0 K are derived. It is found that the spin either enhances or reduces the frequency of oscillation, depending ... -

High-frequency sum rules for the quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor. II. Spin effect
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1993-04)We derive a high-frequency expansion for all elements of the quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma dielectric tensor atT=0 K for quantum particles with spins. In addition to the known results for spinless case, we find that ... -

Judicial review of spending powers: should Kenyan courts entertain taxpayers' actions?
(Department of Commercial Law, 2000)Combatting the mismanagement of government funds by public officials remains a challenge in Kenya as well as in many African countries. Current mechanisms have not proved effective and need strengthening. This article ... -
Wave propagation in quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma in a magnetic field
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1988)A cold electron gas fills the lowest Landau level for high enough magnetic fields and for low enough densities. Such a situation is expected to occur for the Malmberg-O'Neil experiment and also for pulsar crusts and ... -
High-frequency expansion of relativistic classical plasma dielectric tensor
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Physics, 1989-05)A high-frequency sum-rule expansion is derived for the transverse elements of the relativistic classical plasma dielectric tensor in an isotropic system. The relativistic results are different from the nonrelativistic ones ... -

Pattern of Pedestrian Injuries in the City of Nairobi: Implications for Urban Safety Planning
(SpringerInstitute for Development Studies, University of Nairobi, 2013-02)Pedestrians are overrepresented in road traffic injuries and deaths in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, yet little research has been done to provide better understanding of the characteristics of pedestrian injuries. ... -
