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 ...

Space-time characteristics of the itcz over equatorial eastern Africa during anomalous rainfall years
(1996)
Many socio-economic activities over the Equatorial Eastern Africa
(EEA) region are rain-dependent. Occurrences of rainfall anomalies
have therefore been associated with losses of life, property and many
other socio-economic ...

Cloning And Sequence Analysis Of A Novel Bacillus Thuringiensis Gene Encoding Delta Endotoxin Active Against Tsetse (Glossina Morsitans) And Stemborer (Chilo Partellus)
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
Local isolate of B. thuringiensis, designated L1-2 (Bacillus thuringiensis L1-2) was found to be toxic to adult tsetse, Glossina morsitans morsitans and fourth instar larvae of the stem-borer, Chilo partellus in bioassays. ...
Extraction and characterization of Vernonia oil and synthesis of N-(aminoalkyl) vernolamides and N,N' polymethylene bis (vernolamides)
(1996)
Vernonia galamensis is an annual herb found growing as a common weed in most parts
of Africa, but its center of diversity is in East Africa. The dry seed of this plant consists
of about 40% naturally epoxidized oil that ...
