Optimization of parameters for study of heavy metals in biological samples
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
In this work parameters such as AAS/CVAAS delay time, pH, digestion matrix, mercury reducing agents, sensitivity complexing time for XRF analysis and digestion temperature have been considered. The results demonstrates ...
Geological evolution of coastal Kenya as inferred from sedimentary sequences and marines terraces
(1996)
Based on extensive field and literature surveys together with radiometric dating
evidence, the coastal geology of Kenya consists of the Karoo (Upper Carboniferous-Lower
Jurassic) to Recent sedimentary sequences with minor ...
Analysis of trophic relationships in two shallow equatorial lakes Lake Naivasha (Kenya) and Lake Ihema (Rwanda) using a multispecifies trophic model
(1996)
A multispecifies trophic model called ECOPATH II, which can be used to describe the trophic relationships in aquatic ecosystems on a quantitative basis, is briefly presented. When properly used, it can help to explain the ...
Modeling water balance components in relation to field layout in lowland paddy fields. I. Model development
(University of Nairobi, 1996-04)
In this study, a water balance model applicable to lowland paddy fields was developed. The model inputs consist of irrigation supply, climatic data, soil parameters and layout dimensions. The model is formulated to simulate ...
Impacts of ozone depletion, The Weatherman, No.18, pp1
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
The role of airborne fungal spores from garbage dumps in respiratory diseases.
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
In recent years, there has been a growing global, regional and local concern about the potential health hazards associated with air pollution. Great attention has so far been paid to pollution associated with oxides of ...
Comparison of the transmission of Theileria parva between different instars of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus
(1996)
The transmission of Theileria parva by nymphal and adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus was compared by the assessment of salivary gland infections in tick batches fed on the same group of infected cattle at the same time. ...
Fishes of a shallow tropical mangrove estuary, Gazi, Kenya
(1996)
The composition and abundance of teleosts in an estuarine mangrove bay, sampled with a beach seine-net, are described. Site 1, at the mouth of a small river, was fringed by mangroves and had a silty substratum; Site 2 was ...
