(1984)
An epidemiological study of gastroinLestinal nematodes
of cattle was conducted in Tetu Division of Nyeri District,
Kenya. This area has a trcpical climQte, being within the

Factors affecting community action and upgrading programmes in Kisumu low income residential settlement
(1984)
In recent years the question of adequate
shelter for every family has taken the forefront in
national policy discussions. The high population
growth rate coupled with the shifts in the population
due to rural to urban ...
The effects of frequency and height of cutting on tillering, herbage yield and nutritive value of four varieties of napier grass
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
The effects of six-, eight-and ten-weeks cutting interval* and 0, 10 and 20 cm cutting heights and their combinations on tillering, herbage yield, crude protein and in vitro dry matter digestibility of four varieties of ...
The trophic relations and habitat adaptability of livestock in the central part of Rendille land in Kenya
(1984)
In arid and semi-arid areas animal production has been the most
and, sometimes, the only productive use of the land. Most of northern
Kenya is destined to remain rangeland due to the low and unpredictable
rainfall. ...
Study on outliers in factorial design of experiments
(University of Nairobi, 1984-06)
In this dissertation, we discuss the sensitivity of optimum balanced
2m fractional designs of resolutiun V to outliers using the measure suggested
by Box and Draper (1975). In addition, we define a new measure of

(University of Nairobi, 1984)
The effect of particle size of roller-milled raw soybeans on the compositional uniformity of soybean cake during extrusion-aided screw press oil extraction (ESPOE) was studied. In order to obtain reproducible milled soybean ...
A fracture mechanics approach to fatigue crack propagation characteristics in a locally used structural steel plate
(1984-06)
A fracture mechanics approach was used to investigate the effects of thickness, stress ratio and configurational geometry on fatigue crack growth characteristics of a locally produced steel plate.
The experiments were ...
