Gliding Flight of the Dog-Faced Bat Rousettus Aegyptiacus Observed in a Wind Tunnel
(University of Nairobi, 1971)
1. A bat was trained to fly in a tilting wind tunnel. Stereoscopic photographs were taken, both by reflected and by transmitted light, and measurements of best gliding angle were made.
2. Variation of wing span and area ...
Functional Proportions Of Primate Lumbar Vertebral Bodies
(University of Nairobi, 1975-01)
The comparison of certain proportions of lumbar vertebral bodies and of the lumbar column as a whole between a range of primate and non-primate mammals suggests that the relatively high robusticity of the lumbar column in ...
Plant Dispersal by Hares (Lepus Capensis L.) in Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 1970)
Of 369 hares examined, 160 had a total of 810 disseminules of 17 plant species in
their fur. The six commonest plants were Tragus berteronianus, Achyranthes aspera, Pupalia
lappacea, Boerhavia repense, Harpachne schimperi, ...
Basaltic Macadam-breccias In The Girvan-ballantrae Complex, Ayrshire
(University of Nairobi, 1979-09)
Many supposed “volcanic agglomerates and tuffs” in the Girvan-Ballantrae complex of southern Ayrshire are considered to be non-pyroclastic in origin. These macadam breccias are accumulations of lava breccia derived mainly ...
Some Observations of Rotational Remanent Magnetization
(University of Nairobi, 1974-05)
Some Measurements in Radial Free Jets
(University of Nairobi, 1979)
(+)-Tephrodin - A New Flavone from Tephrosia purpurea
(1972)
Tephrosia species are widely used
in East African traditional medicinal
practice to treat various infectious
diseases. In our continued search
for antiplasmodial agents from
Tephrosia species found in Kenya a

Effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) and temperature on seed germination of Rauvolfia serpentina
(1970)
GA was applied at 250, 500, 750 or 1000 mg/l. The 500-mg level in the laboratory increased germination from 5 (control) to 45.2%, and survival from 2 to 25.7%. Under field conditions the comparable figures for germination ...
Collision Broadening of Rotational Spectrum
(1972)
The problem studied is the rotational absorption spectrum of linear molecules of moment inertia I in a simple nonpolar buffer gas. The focus is on the behavior of the spectrum as the buffer gas pressure and the associated ...
