Ecological studies on the tropical warehouse moth Ephestia Cautella (walker) (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae) and its predator mite Blattisocius Tarsalis (berlese) (Acari : Ascidae) in relation to effective warehouse integrated pest management programmes
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
The abundance and economic importance 01 the moth Ephestia
cautella (Walker) on maize grain was established through field
surveys in central storage depots and detailed evaluations
carried out in selected warehouses. ...
Mathematical modelling of the Olkaria Geothermal Reservoir
(1996)
The basic equations which govern the flow of fluids in a geothermal
reservoir (often a two-phase mixture of steam. and water) are outlined. The
governing nonlinear system of partial differential equations that arises ...
Regionalisation of seismic velocities for precise earthquake localisations in Kenya.
(1996)
The essential part of this study has involved the determination of seismic velocities for
different regional waves using natural earthquake data. The analysis was based on
available catalogues. The whole territory of ...
Biology of the Dory Snapper, Lutjanus Fulviflamma (Forsskal, 1775) (pisces: Lut Janidae) from the Kenyan Inshore Marine waters
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
This study describes the biology of the dory snapper, Lutjanus
fulviflamma (Forsskal, 1775) in the Kenyan inshore marine waters on
an annual cycle between October, 1991 and September, 1992. The
results are based on 891 ...
Multicomponent polymers containing poly(lactic acid)
(1996)
Hydrophobic-hydrophilic copolymers containing poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were synthesized using three types of starting materials. The PLA macromonomers with methacrylate terminal functionality were synthesized from the cyclic ...
Mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) and associated entomofauna breeding in tree holes and artificial containers in three adjacent forests in Western Kenya
(1996)
Tree hole breeding mosquitoes and other associating arthropods were collected
from three adjacent forests in western Kenya to determine distribution and habitat
preferences. Immature stages were collected from natural ...
An Assessment of the groundwater quality variations with Land use in Chirichiro catchment, Upper Gucha drainage basin
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
The thesis is looking at an assessment of ground water quality variations with landuse and time in parts of Chirichiro Catchment of upper Gucha drainage basin covering an area approximately 55 km2. A total of 28 sampled ...
Mineral status of soils and forages in lake Nakuru national Park and implications to animal health
(1996)
A study was conducted in which forty-four (44) soil and sixty-seven (67) forage samples were
collected at different sites within the Lake Nakuru National Park. Sampling sites were classified in
terms of distance from the ...
The Effects Of Ascorbic Acid On The Immune System Of The Guinea Pig (cavia Porcellus)
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
Three experiments were carried out to investigate
the effects of ascorbic acid on immunoglobulin levels,
on T-Cell function and on humoral response to viral
antigens using the guinea pig as a model.
These were done by ...
Metabolism Of Phosphoenolpyruvate Derived From Glucose Catabolism By Bloodstream Trypanosoma Congolense
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
The main purpose of this study was to establish the pathway(s) by which
PEP from glucose catabolism is catabolized, the end products formed in the
presence and absence of SHAM, the sul.ceinuar localisation of some ...
