Cellular immune ontogeny and birth transcriptome in HIV-exposed uninfected infants by Kiravu, Agano

“…These were tested in three distinct aims: 1) To identify transcriptional signatures at baseline that delineate cHEU from cHU 2) To compare the expression of surface marker broadly defining activated or regulatory phenotypes and the expression of intracellular markers of T cell function between cHEU and cHU over the first 9 months of life. 3) To characterise how differences in the immunising strains of Bacille Calmette-Gu'erin (BCG), the first vaccine received in these infants, impacts T cell immunity to both mycobacterial and non-mycobacterial antigens in cHEU and cHU. …”

Unravelling multidimensions of the flora of Kenya floristics, herbivory defences, and phylogenetic diversity by Kimeu, John

“…The checklists were intensively searched from published sources (i.e., journal articles and technical reports), which are considered representative of the vegetation of Kenya at species (70%) and genera (78%) levels, and at least comprise five samples for each phytochorion. To test climatic homogeneities for the studied phytochoria, 19 climatic variables of the BIOCLIM dataset extracted in each of the plant inventory areas were used, and a test of phytochoria-climate correlations executed in the canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). …”

Monetary policy and economic performance - evidence from selected African countries by Fiador, Vera Ogeh Lassey

“…4) Does monetary policy influence aggregate variables like private capital formation, growth and their interrelationships? Chapter Two tests the completeness of the pass-through of the central bank policy rate to bank lending rates on one hand, and the interest rate pass-through as a function of the level of financial development on the other hand. …”
