A Wedding Without Music.
(University of Nairobi, 1992)
The influence of sublethal doses of insecticides on the reproduction of glossina-pallidipes austen and glossina morsitans morsitans westwood (Diptera: Glossinidae)
(1992)
Insecticides utilised in the field to control tsetse flies often do not reach
their targets in sufficient quantities to kill them. The effects of such sublethal
doses on the reproduction of these flies is therefore ...
Numerical simulation of the influence of the large-scale Monsoon flow on the diurnal weather patterns over Kenya
(1992)
The influence of the large-scale monsoonal wind systems on the diurnal weather patterns
over Kenya was investigated in this study using a three-dimensional limited-area
model known as the Regional Atmospheric Modeling ...
Numerical simulation of the planetary boundary layer over Kenya using a meso-scale model
(1992)
A two dimensional dry meso-scale numerical model has
been used to simulate the growth of the Planetary
Boundary Layer (PBL) over Kenya. The model is
primitive equation hydrostatic, uses a terrain following
vertical ...
Seismic energy mapping and strain release pattern of Kenya
(University Of Nairobi, 1992)
A single-station three component method of measuring the
amplitude and noting the direction of first motion in all the
three short period components was used. A minimum magnitude
beyond which the whole data set is ...
Temporal synthesis of cuticle proteins during larval development in the tsetse fly, glossina morsitans morsitans
(University of Nairobi, 1992)
The tsetse fly is an insect of great economic importance to man as a
vector of both human and animal trypanosomiasis.
The important functions of the cuticle are support, including muscle
attachment, protection, and ...
Characteristics of Kenyan rice husk ash and its applications
(1992)
The chemical composition of rice husk ash (RHA) from Mwea and Ahero was
determined using various analytical techniques: atomic absorption
spectrometry (AAS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) , X-ray diffraction (XRD),
colori ...
The effects of deltamethrin 'pour on' control technique on glossina pallidipes austen population structure and incidence of trypanosomiasis in cattle
(University of Nairobi, 1992)
A field trial was carried out in Galana ranch to assess the use of deltamethrin 'pour on'
technique for the control of Glossina pallidipes. In Dakabuku (experimental area) 1167 Orma
Boran steers were kept and treated ...
Relationship Between Lectins And Trypsin In The Midgut Of The Tsetse Fly, Glossina Morsitans Morsitans
(University of Nairobi, 1992)
Tsetse flies are haematophagous arthropods which feed on a diverse
range of vertebrates. The Glossina morsii ans group of tsetse flies are
among the important vectors of the African trypanosomes. The African
trypanosomes ...
