The spatial and temporal patterns of the East African seasonal rainfall derived from principal component analysis
(1989)
this study, rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) was used to study the spatial and temporal characteristics of
asonal rainfall over East Africa during the period 1922-1983. The RPCA solutions were derived from both ...
Transonic integro-differential and integral equations with artificial viscosity
(University of Nairobi., 1989)
From the two-dimensional transonic small disturbance equation, with artificial viscosity, we derive an integro-differential equation and subsequently an integral equation. The computational domain is discretized into ...
Biochemical identification of Phlebotomus (Larroussius) pedifer and Phlebotomus (Larroussius) elegonensis
(1989)
Females of the vector of Leishmania aerhiopica, Phlebotomus pedifer. have previously been morphologically
indistinguishable from the non-vector. P. elegonensis. The present studies have biochemically separated these two ...
Distribution of Cr, Pb, Cd, Zn, Fe and Mn in lake Victoria sediments, East Africa
(1989)
The presence of many metals at trace or ultra-trace levels in the human environment has received increased global attention. Sediments as a sink for pollutants are widely recognized pollution sources and diagenesis and ...
Westwards moving disturbances in the Southwest Indian Ocean
(1989)
The First Garp Global Experiment data collected during 1979 at sea level and 850 mb level have been used to examine the origin and characteristics of the westwards moving disturbances in the western Indian Ocean.
From the ...
Potential of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis for mosquito malaria vector control in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 1989)
The main vectors of malaria in Kenya are Anopheles arabiensis, An. gambiae and An.
funestus. In the Mwea Rice Irrigation Scheme of Central Kenya, Art arabiensis is the
principal vector, accounting for over 83% of the ...
Behavioral Strategies Used by Macrotermes michaelseni foragers to Avoid Ant Predation (lsoptera: Macrotermitinae)
(1989)
Macrotermes michae/seni, a dominant invertebrate herbivore
in the semi-arid savanna of Kajiado, Kenya, was studied to establish
what measures its foragers adopt to counteract ant predation
while insuring adequate ...
Subcellular degeneration of mycetomal endocytobionts in tsetse,Glossina morsitans morsitans, inoculated twice withEscherichia coli
(Springer, 1989)
Specimens of mycetome, a portion of anterior midgut harboring intracellular bacterioids (endocytobionts), obtained from both untreated control female tsetse,Glossina morsitans morsitans, and those inoculated twice with ...
Computer-Controlled Apparatus for Automated Development of Continuous Flow Methods
(1989)
An automated apparatus to assist in the development of analytical continuous flow methods is described. The system is capable of controlling and monitoring a variety of pumps, valves, and detectors through an IBM PC-AT ...
