Estimation of reference crop evapotranspiration using fuzzy state models
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
Daily evapotranspiration (ET) rates are needed for irrigation scheduling. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining accurate field measurements, ET rates are commonly estimated from weather parameters. A few empirical or ...
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. ...
An optimal approach for generation of time delay algorithms for anti-air missiles
(2001)
This paper sets out a new approach for generating time before detonation in anti-air missiles equipped with proximity fuses. Conventional algorithms for determining these delay times rely on human effort, knowledge and ...
Theoretical investigation of gain in 1.3mm GaInNAs-GaAs quantum Well diode lasers
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
UNIT 11.14 Flow Cytometric Assessment of Drug Susceptibility in Leishmania infantum Promastigotes
(2001)
Flow cytometry can be a valuable tool for parasitology in studies of parasite-drug interaction and cellular toxicity. This unit presents protocols for assessment of Leishmania promastigote proliferation, viability, and ...
The concept of Hybridisation
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
In vitro antifungal activity of Schizozygia coffaeoides Bail. (Apocynaceae) extracts
(2001)
Leaf extracts of Schizozygia coffaeoides were investigated for antifungal activity using the disc diffusion assay technique. Petroleum ether 40–60°C, dichloromethane–ethyl acetate (1:1) and methanol extracts were fungitoxic ...
Long-term impacts of poaching on relatedness, stress physiology, and reproductive output of adult female african elephants.
(University of Nairobi., 2001-12)
Widespread poaching prior to the 1989 ivory ban greatly altered the demographic structure of matrilineal African elephant (Loxodonta africana) family groups in many populations by decreasing the number of old, adult females. ...
