Multi-elemental energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence analysis of Kerio valley fluorite ores and Mrima hill soil sediments
(University of Nairobi, 1987)
A total of fifty three radioactive fluorite samples
from Kerio valley and Mrima Hill were analysed using Energy
Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) method. The excitation
source used was Cadmium 109 and a silicon-lithium ...
Taxonomic and ecological study of the orchid flora of Ngong hills
(University of Nairobi, 1987)
The Orchidaceae is one of the largest and most diverse families
of the flowering plants, including 20,000 to 25,000 species
distributed allover the world.
The work presented here is the study of the taxonomy and

The introduction of lovebirds (Agapornis) to lake Naivasha, Kenya, and their effect on the lake's agriculture and indigenous avifauna
(1987)
Fieldwork was conducted between August 1985 and June 1986 in the
forest surrounding Lake Naivasha. The number of lovebirds was
estimated by both the fixed-width line-transect and mark-recapture
methods. There was good ...
Comparison Between Two Simple Linear Catchment Models For The Yala River Basin
(1987)
In this study, two simple linear catchment models
were used to model the rainfall-runoff characteristics
over Yala catchment.
The first model was based on the response function.
In this model a linear stochastic process ...
Evaluation Of The Potential Of Bacillus Thuringensis Ver. Israelensis De Barjac As A Mirobial Control Agent Of Target Mosquito Species In Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 1987)
The efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis serotype
israeliensis (B.t.i) de BarLac as a larvicide of
mosquitoes was evaluated both under laboratory and field
conditions. In the laboratory, a wettable powder of
B.t.i. Lot ...
Towards The Development Of A Forecasting Numerical Model For Kenya
(1987)
Two- and three-dimensional mesoscale numerical models
are used to study the causes of frequent severe weather over
Kenya. The two-dimensional version of the model has 56 grid-
points in the east-west direction and 12 ...
