Development of an exposure-free bednet trap for sampling Afrotropical malaria vectors
(2002)
An exposure-free bednet trap (the 'Mbita trap') for sampling of Afrotropical malaria vectors was developed during preliminary studies of mosquito behaviour around human-occupied bednets. Its mosquito sampling efficiency ...

The Negative Binomial Parameter K As A Measure Of Dispersion
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
The role of the negative binomial parameter k and index of patchiness as measures of dispersion in relation to random removal of individuals are discussed. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate analytically that the ...
Tropical freshwater ecotones: their formation, functions and use
(Khuwer Academic Publishers., 2001)
Tropical water-terrestrial ecotones play important roles in regulating the flow of materials from and to land and
water ecosystems. Ecotones exist where active interactions between two or more adjacent ecosystems occur ...
Development of Reflectance Spectral Libraries for Characterization of Soil Properties
(Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2002)
Methods for rapid estimation of soil properties are needed for
quantitative assessments of land management problems. We developed
a scheme for development and use of soil spectral libraries for
rapid nondestructive ...
The late Proterozoic Yatta Shear Zone: A possible lateral ramp extending across the Kenya Rift
(1994)
On the basis of a test experiment in 1985 (KRISP 85) an integrated seismic-refraction/ teleseismic survey (KRISP
90) was undertaken to study the deep structure beneath the Kenya rift down to depths of NO-150 km. This ...

A reappraisal of the geology, structures and tectonics of the Mozambique belt East of the Kenya Rift System
(2001)
The largest segment of the Neoproterozoic Mozambique belt in Kenya occurs east
of the north-south oriented Rift system. Geological works carried out in the country during the
last few decades have progressively revealed ...
Breeding Cycle of Thalamita crenata (Latreille, 1829) at Gazi Creek (Maftaha Bay), Kenya
(2002)
Thalamita crenata (Latreille, 1829) is a crustacean decapod that occurs in inter- and
sub-tidal environments in the main water channels of the eastern Africa coast. The sandy pools
