The Ecology Of Marine Algae Of The Kenya Coast
(University of NairobiSchool of Biological Sciences,, 1977)The Kenya coastline which is approximately 500 km long is characterised by almost continuous elevated fringing reef plat forms. Wherever breaks occur sandy or muddy beaches are found. Due to the narrow continental shelf ... -

Multi-Type Step-Wise Group Screening Designs
(University of NairobiSchool of mathematics,, 1988)The inspection of individual members of a large population is an expensive and tedious process. In many inspections, the objective is to eliminate all the defective members of the population. This situation ... -
Analysis Of A Long-Term Maize Yield Field Trial Data To Determine The Effect Of Continuous Application Of Fertilizers
(University of NairobiSchool of mathematics,, 2007)The Kenyan population pressure in the high and medium potential areas has led to continuous cropping thus resulting to severe soil degradation. This has led to the LIse of integrated ... -
Electrical resistivity measurements on dilute alloys of Nico, Niv, Nipt And Nia1
(Department of Physics, 1977)Electrical resistivi~ measurements have been made on Ni, Ni-5 at% Co, Ni-5 at% V, Ni-5 at% Pt and Ni-5 at% Al in the temperature range from 20 °c to at least 70 °c above the Curie temperatures of the alloys. For T > Tc ... -

Towards The Development Of A Forecasting Numerical Model For Kenya
(Department of Meteorology, 1987)Two- and three-dimensional mesoscale numerical models are used to study the causes of frequent severe weather over Kenya. The two-dimensional version of the model has 56 grid- points in the east-west direction and 12 ... -
Rainwater Harvesting For Domestic Use: A Case Study Of Machakos District
(Department of Meteorology, 2007)This study investigated the characteristics of rainfall and quantified the probable volume of water that can be harvested from rainfall inputs. The region of study considered was Machakos district in Kenya. The area lies ... -
Comparison Between Two Simple Linear Catchment Models For The Yala River Basin
(Department of Meteorology, 1987)In this study, two simple linear catchment models were used to model the rainfall-runoff characteristics over Yala catchment. The first model was based on the response function. In this model a linear stochastic process ... -
Studies Of The Distribution And Some Behaviour Aspects Of African Honeybees In Kenya
(University of NairobiSchool of Biological Sciences,, 1981-08)Beekeeping in Kenya is an old enterprise practised by several tribes. Traditional beekeepers kept honeybees in log hives or hunted for honey from hollows in rocks and tree trunks hence producing low quality honey which ...
