Sensitivity of fever for diagnosis of clinical malaria in a Kenyan area of unstable, low malaria transmission
(BioMed Central, 2014-12-01)Malaria in highland areas of Kenya affects children and adults. Local clinicians include symptoms other than fever when screening for malaria because they believe that fever alone does not capture all cases of malaria. -
Reactions of Methyl Iodide and Halopropanes with Na0 Treated and Untreated NaX and NaY Zeolites
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)Products formed from reactions of methyl iodide, 1-chloropropane, 1-iodopropane and 1-bromopropane with Na0 treated and untreated NaX and NaY zeolites were studied using solid state 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy. At room ... -
Incidence of road traffic crashes and pattern of injuries among commercial motorcyclists in Naivasha Town
(International Journal of Applied Research, 2015)Commercial Motorcycling has become a popular mode of transportation in Kenya, in both rural and urban areas since early 1990’s, but traced to 1960s. In Kenya, however, its related injuries cause significant morbidity and ... -
Effects of Possible Spin-Spin Interactions on EPR spectra of Cu2+ exchanged Faujasite–X (I)
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)The interpretation of the continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (CW-EPR) spectra of Cu2+ exchanged in Faujasite zeolite is not straightforward. Recent literature points to the role of both Cu2+ zeolite sites and ... -
Commercial Bicyclist Injuries in Kisumu City, Kenya: an Epidemiology of a Neglected Problem
(International Journal of Innovation and Scientific Research, 2015-04): Background: Commercial bicycling has become a popular mode of transportation in Kenya, in both rural and urban areas since early 1990’s. In Kisumu city, however, its related injuries cause significant morbidity and ... -
Spectroscopic characterization of the metal cation siting and the adsorbate-cation interactions in copper (II) and cobalt (II) exchanged faujasite-X zeolite
(State University of New York at Binghamton, 2006)Toxic chemicals are abundant in the environment and their detection often requires very costly and time consuming methods. Where such molecules are able to interact with the transition metal cations, their characteristic ... -
Characteristics of injuries among children attending public primary schools in Kisumu Municipality, Kenya.
(Donnish Journal of Nursing and Midwifery, 2015-05-18): Injuries remain a major killer of children throughout the world. On average, for children in the age group 5-14 years, injury accounts for more than a quarter (27 %) of all deaths worldwide. In addition to these deaths, ... -
Sodium X-type faujasite zeolite decomposition of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) to methylphosphonate: Nucleophilic zeolite reactions I
(Elsevier, 2006-06-20)Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), used extensively as a nerve agent simulant, strongly adsorbs in X-type faujasite zeolite and undergoes nucleophilic substitution by the supercage oxygens. Solid state magic angle spinning ... -
Linear, primary monohaloalkane chemistry in NaX and NaY faujasite zeolites with and without Na0-treatment: Zeolites as nucleophilic reagents II
(Elsevier, 2006-06-20)This work undertakes, we believe for the first time, a study of the chemistry of alkyl halides in Na0 treated zeolites. It concludes that untreated zeolites do nucleophilic chemistry to the degree that the host is electron ... -
Pedestrian safety and the built environment: a review of the risk factors
(SAGE Publications, 2015-11)Urban and regional planning has a contribution to make toward improving pedestrian safety, particularly in view of the fact that about 273,000 pedestrians were killed in road traffic crashes in 2010. The road is a built ... -
Effects of cation siting and spin–spin interactions on the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of Cu2+ exchanged X Faujasite zeolite
(North-Holland, 2006-11-21)Copper(II) exchanged Na X Faujasite zeolite was cation exchanged at levels from one Cu(II) in 30 unit cells (0.033 Cu(II)/UC) to 38 Cu(II) per unit cell (38 Cu/UC) and was examined by continuous wave and two-pulse and ... -
Resilience among gay/bisexual young men in Western Kenya: psychosocial and sexual health outcomes
(Wolters Kluwer, 2015-12-01)To explore associations between intrapersonal and interpersonal factors and both sexual and psychosocial resilient outcomes among young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in Western Kenya. -
Effects of copper exchange levels on complexation of ammonia in Cu (II)-exchanged X zeolite
(The South African Chemical Institute, 2010)Copper (II)-exchanged faujasite-X zeolites at various loadings of copper per unit cell of zeolites were prepared and then exposed to ammonia. The copper ammine complexes of the various copper levels per unit cell were ... -
Sensoring Gaseous Ammonia using Cation Exchanged Faujasite-X Zeolite
(International Journal of BioChemiPhysics,, 2010)work presents a method that uses cheap, thermally stable and reusable cation exchanged solid zeolites to detect gaseous ammonia. Here, 24 separately exchanged Cu2+ and Co2+ cations per unit cell of 1.23 Si/Al Faujasite-X ... -
Community Participation Medico-Legal Concepts to Identify Unclaimed or Missing Dead Bodies from Public Mortuaries to Improve Public Health in Western Kenya
(Journal of Health & Medical Informatics, 2017)Community participation in medico-legal form bench-mark of health determinants and quality integrated services towards criminal justice support in health. Globally, over 44 million cases of unclaimed bodies or missing ... -
Optimizing Zeolitic Catalysis for Environmental Remediation
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2015-05-01)This chapter discusses the effects of chemical and physical properties of zeolites as they affect the catalytic efficacy and applications of the zeolites in environmental remediation. Heterogeneous catalysts, where zeolites ... -
Effects of copper exchange levels on complexation of ammonia in Cu (II)-exchanged X zeolite
(Sabinet, 2010-01-01)Copper (II)-exchanged faujasite-X zeolites at various loadings of copper per unit cell of zeolites were prepared and then exposed to ammonia. The copper ammine complexes of the various copper levels per unit cell were ... -
Prevalence and predictors of injuries in Kenya: findings from the national STEPs survey
(BioMed Central, 2018-11-01)Injuries are becoming an increasingly important public health challenge globally, and are responsible for 9% of deaths. Beyond their impact on health and well-being, fatal and non-fatal injuries also affect social and ... -
