Stochastic modelling of regional annual rainfall anomalies in East Africa
(1986)
ARIMA (p, d, q) models were fitted to areal annual rainfall of two homogeneous regions in East Africa with rainfall records extending between the period 1922-80. The areal estimates of the regional rainfall were derived ...
Teleconnection between Seasonal Rainfall over East Africa and Global Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
(1988)
In this study, global sea surface temperature anomalies within ±300 latitudes of the equator were
correlated with the time series of the major rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) modes of
the seasonal rainfall ...
Digestive physiology of East African wild ruminants.
(1983)
The physiology of digestion of wild ruminants in their natural habitat was determined. The study consisted of fifty-one adult male animals representing sixteen species. While diet and body weight were both related to the ...
Control of protozoal diseases in eastern Africa: The case for environmental consideration
(1986)
Malaria, African trypanosomiasis, theileriosis, babesiosis and coccidiosis are of great public health and/or economic importance in eastern Africa. Leishmaniasis is an increasing problem in this area and other protozoal ...
Quasi-periodic patterns in the East African rainfall records
(1982)
In this study East African rainfall records within the period 1922-80 were
subjected to spectral analysis in order to examine whether the
fluctuations in rainfall during 1922-80 exhibited any periodic or quasi-periodic ...
Molar proportions of volatile fatty acids in the gastrointestinal tract of East African wild ruminants.
(1983)
The molar proportions of seven individual VFA's were determined at select sites along the gastrointestinal tract of sixteen species of East African wild ruminants. The resulting data were statistically analyzed for species ...
Temporal fluctuations of seasonal rainfall patterns in East Africa
(1984)
In order to investigate temporal fluctuations in the seasonal rainfall over East
Africa, monthly rainfall records from about 100 stations during" the period 1931 -75 were subjected
to harmonic analysis on the yearly ...
