On time series analysis
(University of NairobiSchool of mathematics,, 1975)The problem of Time-series is of evaluating the non-randomness present in the series in a manner that pre supposes nothing as to the nature of non-randomness. Significant work has been done with this objective in view ... -
Cation Exchanger membranes and transport properties
(University of NairobiDepartment of Chemistry, 1975)The theme of this project was to investigate the relation between E~W of galvanic cells having cation exchanger membrane and the transport properties of the membrane and the free energy of the components being transporte ... -
Evapotranspiration rates over a crop of sunflower of the giant variety as estimated by the energy balance method
(Department of Meteorology University of Nairobi, 1975)In this study the energy balance approach is applied to determine the evapotranspiration rates over a crop of sunflower of the giant variety. Three series of measurements were taken when the crop was 1 meter high, 1! ... -

The ecology of the large herbivore community in the Lambwe valley Kenya
(1976)This thesis is based on a preliminary ecological survey of the Lambwe Valley habitat. The community approach was proferred to individual species study because this was the first ecological study conduted in the game ... -
The dynamics of algal growth, substrate consumption, oxygen production/consumption in batch bench-scale completely~mixed aquatic ecosystems.
(University of NairobiSchool of mathematics,, 1976)Ecosystems composed of algae, bacteria, and other biota occur widely in lakes, rivers, impoundments, estuaries and waste stabilisation ponds. They enhance under favourable conditions, the self-purification capacity of ... -
