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
robustness ...
Nematode survey in Busia and Bungoma districts and the response of three tobacco varieties to infection by meloidogyne spp. on clay and sandy soils under field and pot plant studies
(1984)
Plant-parasitic nematodes in the tobacco-growing areas of Busia and Bungoma districts were identified, and the response of three commercial tobacco varieties to increasing initial population densities of rootknot nematodes, ...
Effect of milling raw soybean on the compositional uniformity of soybean cake during extrusion-aided screw press oil extraction
(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 ...
The lianja epic of Zaire in the dynamics of orature
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
This study attempts to analyse three versions of the Lianja
epic from Zaire. Two of them are traditional and the other is
modern. The modern version is currently performed by the Zairean
National Theatre called "Compagnie ...
Characterization of s. damnosuum s .1. From six River-systems in kenya using ecological Parameters and cellulose Acetate electrophoresis
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
From December 1981 up to April 1983 ecological and biochemical
studies were carried out on the Simulium damno Sum complex sibling
spec~es in nine river-systems of Kenya, of which only six were
found suitable for ~. damno ...
The statistics of pedestrian flow
(1984-09)
The project was set to study various aspects of pedestrian flow (at Sussex University Campus), compare the results with those obtained I empirical studies and to investigate other factors ignored in the past work. The ...
The kinetics of dissolution of zircon (ZrSiO4)
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
The dissolution of amorphous zircon obeys first order kinetics, and, over long periods of time decreases due to precipitation of new phases from solution. The dissolution reaction has an activation energy of 12.8 K cal/mole. ...
