The Palaeomagnetism of the Kisii Series, Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1971-12-17)The Precambrian Kisii Series in Western Kenya is unmetamorphosed and contains andesites, rhyolites, quartzites and basalts. The basalts, for which a minimum K-Ar age of 930 My is cited, were sampled at 15 sites, and after ... -
Palaeomagnetism of the tororo ring complex, S.E. Uganda
(University of Nairobi, 1973)Palaeomagnetic measurements on the pre-Miocene carbonatite volcanics of Tororo, S.E. Uganda, have yielded a pole at 75.8°N, 195.5°E with A95 = 9.4°. Along with the Tertiary poles from East African rift systems, the ... -
The Paleoecology and Paleogeographic context of Lemudongo locality 1, a late Miocene terrestrial fossil site in southern Kenya
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 2007)The Lemudongo Formation in the Narok District of Kenya comprises a 135-mthick series of predominantly lacustrine and lake basin margin sedimentary rocks with interstratified primary and reworked tuffs. The formation, ... -
Paleomagnetic of the Still Water Complex , Beartooth Mountains, Montana, U.S.A.,
(University of Nairobi,Department of Physics, 1983) -
Paleomagnetic results from the Narosura and Magadi volcanics of Kenya
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, 1979)Results of a paleomagnetic study carried out on the exposed volcanic rocks on the western side of the South Kenya Rift Valley are presented. Nine stratigraphic groups ranging in age from Miocene to Pleistocene were sampled. ... -

The paleomagnetism of the Turkana lavas
(University of Nairobi, 1966-02)Directions of magnetizations obtained after cleaning the Miocene lavas from northwest Kenya are presented. The pole position thus obtained, together with similar data from eastern Africa, indicates that no significant ... -

Pan-African high pressure granulites from SE-Kenya: petrological and geothermobarometric evidence for a polycyclic evolution in the Mozambique belt
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2004-12)Two different Pan-African tectono-metamorphic events are recognised in the Taita Hill Tsavo East National Park/Galana river area, SE-Kenya (Mozambique belt) based on petrographic and geothermobarometric evidence. Structurally, ... -
A panel of microsatellite and minisatellite markers for the characterisation of field isolates of Theileria parva
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2003)Mini- and microsatellite sequences show high levels of variation and therefore provide excellent tools for both the genotyping and population genetic analysis of parasites. Herein we describe the identification of a panel ... -
Parasitism of Amblyomma variegatum by a Hymenopteran Parasitoid in the Laboratory, and Some Aspects of Its Basic Biology
(University of Nairobi.School of Biological Sciences, 1994-06)Unfed Amblyomma variegatum F. nymphs were experimentally infected in the laboratory with a hymenopteran parasitoid, Ixodiphagus hookeri (Howard). The parasitoid was originally obtained from ticks collected from cattle in ... -
Partial characterisation of a trypanosome-lysing factor from the midgut of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria
(Department of Biochemistry, 2003)OBJECTIVE: Screening and biochemical characterisation of trypanosome-lysing factor (trypanolysin) from non-vector insect, Schistocerca gregaria. DESIGN: Laboratory based experiment. SETTING: Department of Biochemistry, ... -
Partial characterization and post‐feeding activity of midgut aminopeptidase in the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus
(1998)A leucine aminopeptidase was found in the midgut of the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus L. (Anoplura: Pediculidae). The enzyme is activated by the bloodmeal with a pH optimum at 8. The enzyme is soluble in both ... -
A Partial Economic Analysis for Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus L. and Sharptoothed Catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) Polyculture in Central Kenya
(2001)Aquaculture development in Kenya has been hampered by lack of targeted feeds. Chemical fertilizers can enhance natural food production and thus indirectly provide protein to complement energy-rich cereal brans used as feed. ... -
Partial least square structural equation modelling’use in information systems: an updated guideline in exploratory settings.
(University of Nairobi, 2018)The purpose of many studies in the field of Information Systems (IS) research is to analyse causal relationship between variables. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is a statistical technique ...
