Paleomagnetic results from the Narosura and Magadi volcanics of Kenya
(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. ...
Homogeneous saturation of the 6328 Å neon laser transition due to collisions in the weak collision model
(University of Nairobi, 1978-08)
Measurement of the collision broadened lineshapes of the 6328 Å Ne laser transition in absorbing 20Ne and amplifying 7 : 1 3He : 20Ne discharges indicate that the transition saturates with a Doppler component as well as ...
Gas Exchange Of Finger Millet Inflorescences
(University of Nairobi, 1978)
The growth and development of finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] inflorescences is described. The respiration rate on a dry weight basis remained uniform until it decreased during the later stages of seed filling ...
Effect of Atrazine on Physiological Processes in Leaves
(University of Nairobi, 1971)
We fed 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine) through the base of excised leaves of atrazine-tolerant and -susceptible species. Atrazine suppressed CO2 uptake in all species. This was shown to be ...
Response of Cowpeas to Salinity and (2-Chloroethyl) trimethyl-ammonium Chloride (CCC)
(University of Nairobi, 1973-04)
Recent investigations have demonstrated that the growth retardant, (2-chloroethyl) trimethyl-ammonium chloride (CCC) inhibits several aspects of vegetative growth. In solution culture experiments, reduction in plant growth ...
Evidence of a possible north-south shift of the western sector of the African plate—Discussion
(University of Nairobi, 1979-03)
A negative anomaly in the vertical magnetic field component at a site in Nigeria has recently been interpreted by Oni in terms of a possible north-south shift of the western sector of the African plate. In this paper, ...
Electric-Field-Induced IR Absorption in Diamond
(University of Nairobi, 1976)
Electric-field-induced absorption of a type IIa diamond has been measured at various resolutions over a wider spectral range (2300 to 2700 cm-1) than hitherto. A new feature has been observed at 2335 cm-1 close to the ...
Use of δ13C values to determine vegetation selectivity in East African herbivores
(University of Nairobi, 1979)
The quantitative plant species composition of the rumen contents of a large number of individuals from eight East African herbivores was determined by direct visual analysis. All plant species were classified as either C3 ...
