Diel vertical distribution of zooplankton in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(SpringerDepartment of Zoology, University of Nairobi, 1992)Diurnal and diel vertical distribution of limnetic zooplankton species in relation to temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles was examined at a central station in Lake Naivasha. During calm days thermal stratification ... -
Dielectric loss measurements on raw materials
(University of Nairobi,, 1980)This paper describes a relatively simple experiment which can be performed by undergraduate students to study the dielectric properties of materials. Values of the dielectric loss tangent can be determined at low frequencies ... -

Diet of the largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides (Lacepède), in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2008-11)Abstract The major food items of adult largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides (Lacepède), in Lake Naivasha, Kenya are not markedly different from those in its native range. Although insects and their larvae are major ... -
Dietary aflatoxin exposure and impaired growth in young children from Kisumu District, Kenya: Cross sectional study
(School of Biological Sciences, 2004)Cereal grains are the basis of weaning gruel in Kenya yet they run a high risk of mycotoxin contamination. Children could be at a higher risk of dietary mycotoxin exposure than the rest of the population. This paper presents ... -
Dietary preference of cheetahs ( Acinonyx jubatus) in south-eastern Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2022-03)The conversion of natural ecosystems due to anthropogenic activities has led to the destruction of natural habitats and to the deterioration of habitat quality. Top predators particularly respond sensitively to changes in ... -
