(University of NairobiFaculty of Agriculture, University of Nairobi, 1993)Reinforcement of brittle matrices with fibres of different kinds has been shown to improve the mechanical properties of these materials. In this study, mechanical properties of sisal fibre reinforced concrete were ... -
Mechanical transmission of trypanosoma evansi and trypanosoma congolense by African stomoxys species.
(Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nairobi, 1997)Simulated mechanical transmission rates of T. congolense and T. evansi were studied using wild and blood-fed S. n. niger, S. taeniatus, and laboratory reared teneral S. n. niger. The flies were caught in the Nairobi ... -
Mechanical Transmission Of Trypanosoma Evansi Steel By Stomoxys Calcitrans Linnaeus
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences, 1983)Mechanical transmission studies of Trypanosoma evansi using the stablefly, Stomoxys calcitrans as the insect vector and mice as hosts (for T. evansi ) were carried out to determine if S. calcitrans could transmit T. evansi ... -
The mechanics of drawing polygonal tube from round on a cylindrical plug
(University of NairobiDepartment of Arts in Philosophy, 1981-10)Economic factors such as the expense of raw materials, labour and power, are compelling manufacturers of polygonal section rod and tube to seek new production routes. One such method generating considerable industrial ... -
