A newly found jet in North Kenya (Turkana Channel)
(University of Nairobi, 1982-11)On the basis of recent pilot balloon observations which have become available in northern Kenya, it is shown that there exists a strong southeasterly low-level jet in the Turkana Channel which separates the Ethiopian ... -
Nitrogen metabolism and renal function in the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirkii).
(Institute of Animal Physiology and Biotechnology Research, 2000)Nitrogen metabolism and kidney function of the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirkii) were studied under a range of controlled, experimental conditions and diets. Dik-dik antelope remained in nitrogen balance even when ... -
Nitrogenase activity in the papyrus swamps of Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(1992)Nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction activity) was found to occur universally in the Cyperus papyrus swamp in Lake Naivasha. Low rates of acetylene reduction activity (0.9–104.9 nmol C2H4 g d.wt. roots-1 h-1) were ... -

Non-chemical agents and factors capable of regulating tick populations in nature: A mini review
(University of Nairobi.School of Biological Sciences, 1992-08)Ticks have always been a major obstacle to livestock production due to the devastating diseases which they transmit especially in the tropics. The control of ticks which has relied heavily on the use of acaricides is now ... -

"Non-Parametric and Parametric Modeling and Characterization of the Effective Earth Radius Factor for South Africa
(University of NairobiDepartment of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, 2013)The e®ective earth radius factor (k-factor) is an important parameter in the plan- ning and design of both terrestrial microwave and UHF/VHF line-of-sight links. It is for this reason that the structure and variations ... -
Non-square quantum well growth for reduced threshold current in tensilely strained lasers operating at 1.52m
(AJOLDepartment of Physics, University of Nairobi, 2001)This paper presents calculations demonstrating that non-square quantum well growth (well shaping) can result in reduced threshold current for tensilely strained quantum well bipolar diode lasers operating at 1.52ìm m. ... -

Normo-glycemic and hypolipidemic effect of costunolide isolated from Costus speciosus (Koen ex. Retz.)Sm. in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences, 2009-05)Diabetes mellitus is the most common and serious metabolic disorder among people all over the world. Many plants have successfully been used to overcome this problem. Costus speciosus is widely used in Indian medicine to ... -
A note on ( k;f;l )-chordal polygons
(University of Nairobi, 2000)In this article the results concerning the existence of ( k;f;l )- chordal polygons that appeared in [2, 3] are generalized by using a theorem presented in [1]. Furthermore, it is pointed out that there is an error in a ... -
A note on a-self -adjoint and a-skew -adjoint operators and their extensions
(School of mathematics, 2012)In this paper we introduce the notions of an A-self-adjoint, an A-skewadjoint linear operator, where A is a self-adjoint and invertible operator and related classes of operators, which generalize some known classes ... -
A note on metric equivalence of some operators
(Pushpa Publishing House, Allahabad, INDIASchool of mathematics, 2012)In this paper, we study the metric equivalence relation and closely related relations on some classes of operators. We describe the spectral picture of metrically equivalent operators. We give some conditions when metric ... -
A note on planarity stratification of hurwitz spaces
(University of Nairobi, 2014-08)Abstract. One can easily show that any meromorphic function on a comple x closed Riemann surface can be represented as a composition o f a birational map of this surface to CP 2 and a projection of the image curve ...
