Growth rates of ferromanganese encrustations on rocks from the Romanche Fracture Zone, Equatorial Atlantic
(1992)
Based on radiochemical techniques, ferromanganese oxide crusts from the Romanche
Fracture Zone (RFZ) have accretion rates ranging between 1.4 and 2.8 mm/10 years. In
comparison with other ferromanganese deposits, the ...
The use of game trails as a possible measure of habitat utilisation by larger mammals
(University of Nairobi, 2008)
Percentage cover of game trails is discussed as a possible measure of total habitat utilisation by larger mammals and a technique for its measurement is described. Game trail cover in Tsavo National Park (East) at Voi has ...
Observations on the changing vegetation of Tsavo National Park (East)
(University of Nairobi, 1968-08)
An analysis of woody vegetation in Tsavo National Park (East) by extensive variable-plot sampling indicates that the vegetation had been differentially destroyed up to 1966, but that by 1967 considerable local shrub ...

An Approximation Of Fisher's Information For The Negative Binomial Parameter K
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The negative binomial distribution is a versatile distribution in describing dispersion. The negative binomial parameter k is considered as a measure of dispersion. The aim of this paper is to present an approximation of ...
Modelling Dispersion Using Finite Mixture Of PoissoN
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The negative binomial distribution is a versatile distribution in describing dispersion. The negative binomial parameter k is considered as a dispersion parameter. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that filnite mixture ...

Spectroelectrochemical Dynamics of Dendritic Poly (Propylene imine)- Polythiophene Star Copolymer Aptameric 1713-Estradiol Biosensor
(2011)
Aptamers, which are in vitro-selected functional oligonucleotides, have been employed to design novel
aptasensor due to their inherent high selectivity and affinity compared to traditional biorecognition
elements. This ...
