Climate change and pastoralists: perceptions and adaptation in montane Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
Tropical montane forests are amongst the most threatened ecosystems by climate change. However, little is known about climatic changes already observed in these montane areas in Africa, or the adaptation strategies used ...
Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy In Mn2VIn (001) Films: An Ab Initio Study
(University of Nairobi, 2018)
First principles study of the magnetic anisotropy of Mn2VIn (001) films show perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), which increases as a function of the thickness of the film. Density functional theory (DFT) as implemented ...
Control of gliding angle in Rüppell's Griffon Vulture Gyps rüppellii
(University of Nairobi, 1970-11)
1. The drag of the frozen, wingless body of a Rüppell's griffon vulture was measured in a wind tunnel with a simple drag balance. The drag coefficient with feet and neck retracted was 0.43, based on the greatest cross-sectional ...
