Studies on ecology and epidemiological importance of glossina swynnertoni austen, near Aitong, Maasai Mara, South Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1997)
Different trap designs and colours were tested for G. swynnertoni. A turquoise blue colour variation of the Siamese trap was adopted as the standard for sampling.
Further trap tests showed the turquoise blue Triangular ...
Sulphur dioxide measurements in Nairobi
(1997)
Sulphur dioxide in ambient air at Nairobi's major Industrial area and its environs was measured
using pararosaniline method. In this study, concentrations for a period of six months (June -
November, 1993) at six sampling ...
Generalised matrix and compartmental population models
(1997)
The present thesis is concerned with the development of mathematical models
for structured population species. The structuring or classification may be due to
age, stage of development or a combination of both in a more ...
Identification of some of the host-derived attractant Compounds for adult tick, rhipicephalus appendiculatus from Cattle ears.
(1997)
Control of ticks and tick-borne diseases is of paramount importance to the development
and sustanability of the livestock industry in Africa. It is especially essential to control the brown
ear tick, Rhipicephalus ...
Stabilization of polyaniline films by Surface attachment of oxidizable Substrates
(1997)
Cyclic Voltammetry was used to study the Electrochemical properties of PAminophenol
on a Polyaniline modified carbon electrode surface. The resilts reveal
reversible redox waves. The quinone derivatives formed frop ...
Analytical method for on-line determination of thermal properties of materials in an absorption calorimeter
(1997)
A Microsoft FORTRAN 77 computer program for on-line
determination of thermal properties (absorptance a and emittance E)
of materials has been developed. It uses data from sample heating
and cooling histories obtained ...
Optical, electrical and structural properties of zinc stannate (zn2sn04) thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis technique.
(1997)
Highly transparent and conducting Zn2Sn04 films have been
prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. Films grown at a substrate
temperature of 440°C exhibit the best optical and electrical
properties. The microcrystals of ...
Taxonomic, ecological and biodegradation studies of the basidiomycetous wood inhabiting fungi of Karura forest –Kenya
(1997)
Wood inhabiting basidiomycetous fungi are able to metabolise lignin, cellullose and
hemicellullose components of the plant cell wall causing either a white rot when both
lignin and cellullose are metabolized or a brown ...
Aspects of the reproductive biology and fishery of the blue marbled parrot fish leptoscarus vaigiensis (quoy and gaimardi, 1824) in Kenya shallow inshore waters
(1997)
The reproductive biology, growth parameters, mortalities and exploitation rate of
Leptoscarus vaigiensis were investigated in a shallow inshore lagoon in the south coast of
Kenya. The overall male to female sex ratio was ...
