On the Accuracy of Quadrature Laplace Transform Inversion and the Solution of State Space Equations
(University of Nairobi., 1978)
A quadrature formula is shown to be an approximation of the power-series method of inverting Laplace transforms. This together with the properties of the constants derived from a power-series expansion of the Padé approximation ...
The influence of weather on asthma in Nairobi
(University of Nairobi, 1978)
The frequency of bronchial asthma in Nairobi is related to meteorological parameters such as relative humidity, rainfall, dew point temperature, hours of sunshine and dry bulb temperature. Two seasons were taken for study: ...
Homogeneous saturation of the 6328 Å neon laser transition due to collisions in the weak collision model
(University of Nairobi, 1978-08)
Measurement of the collision broadened lineshapes of the 6328 Å Ne laser transition in absorbing 20Ne and amplifying 7 : 1 3He : 20Ne discharges indicate that the transition saturates with a Doppler component as well as ...
Gas Exchange Of Finger Millet Inflorescences
(University of Nairobi, 1978)
The growth and development of finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] inflorescences is described. The respiration rate on a dry weight basis remained uniform until it decreased during the later stages of seed filling ...
The Distribution Of Geophilic Dermatophytes In Kenyan Soils
(University of Nairobi, 1978)
Two hundred and eighty one soil samples from different provinces of Kenya were examined for dermatophytes by the hair baiting technique. Dermatophytes were recovered from 84 samples. Microsporum gypseum constituted 75.8% ...
Studies on insect podborer infestations on Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. (pigeon pea) under different insecticidal spraying regimes in the Kenya Highlands
(1978)
Three insecticides were tested in sprays in the field in Kenya in 1976 for the control of podboring insects, especially the noctuids Pardasena virgulana (Mab.) and Heliothis armigera (Hb.) and the agromyzid Melanagromyza ...
Five-day oscillation in East African low-level jet
(University of Nairobi, 1978-04)
EASTERN edges of the continents are favourable for the deflection of tropical easterlies from the winter hemisphere to the summer hemisphere. Low-level southerly jet stream along the East African coast is the most pronounced ...
