A Review of Some Methods Used in Determining Actual Evapotranspiration in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1979)A brief review of some of the methods used in East Africa for determining actual evapotranspiration/evaporation is presented. The methods reviewed include: empirical methods, atmospheric water balance method, and the ... -
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: ... -
An observational study of 300 mb winds in the tropical belt. Part II: Dynamical interpretation
(University of Nairobi, 1983)An observational study of 300 mb winds in the tropical belt. Part II: Dynamical interpretation -
An observational study of 300 mb winds in the tropical belt. Part I: Kinematic parameters
(University of Nairobi, 1983)This study is diagnostic in character and entails a systematic investigation of the kinematic parameters of the mean monthly 300 mb horizontal-motion field for the global tropical region during January, April, and ... -
Pressure wind adjustment relationships during dynamic initialization process with tropical wind data
(University of Nairobi, 1978)In an attempt to understand the kind of balance the initially imbalanced low latitude mass and motion fields tend to adjust to during an iterative dynamic initialization process we carry out a systematic investigation of ... -
Evaporation values in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1981)Potential evaporation (E p) and actual evapotranspiration (E A) values for 84 East African stations were estimated and mapped using Morton [12, 13, 14] model. The data used in the study were long term averages up to and ... -
Some aspects of dynamic initialization using real tropical wind data
(University of Nairobi, 1977)In this study an iterative initialization scheme suitable for tropical regions is designed, tested and used as an initialization vehicle in an experiment involving real tropical data. The model equations for the initialization ... -

Species-specific patterns of urine investigation and flehmen in Grant's gazelle (Gazella granti), Thomson's gazelle (G. thomsoni), impala (Aepyceros melampus), an
(University of Nairobi, 1987-12)During sexual encounters in most antelope species, males routinely investigate recently voided urine or the genitalia of females and often perform flehmen following such investigations. Quantitative data from field studies ... -
Differential foraging of oxpeckers on impala in comparison with sympatric antelope species
(University of Nairobi, 1990-12)Regression analysis performed on published observations of oxpeckers foraging for ticks on different species of ungulates revealed a significant positive relationship between number of red-billed oxpeckers per unit body ... -
The effects of ambient temperature and mixing time of glass ionomer cement material on the survival rate of proximal art restorations in primary molars
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Objective: Temperature fluctuations and material mixing times are likely to affect the consistency and integrity of the material mixture, and hence the restoration made out of it. The purpose of the present study was ... -
Water use efficiency of six range grasses under varied soil water content in Kenyan semi-arid rangeland.

Reciprocal allogrooming in impala, Aepyceros melampus
(University of Nairobi, 1992-12)Adult female and male impala engage in a type of allogrooming in which partners alternately deliver bouts of oral grooming to the head and neck. These grooming encounters comprise typically six to 12 tit-for-tat-like ... -
Women and the Constitution in Kenya
(1992)Almost in all known and existing societies, women en masse have always constituted a disadvantaged group which is routinely the subject of discrimination. Even in the United States of America, ohe of the world's most ... -
Water availability and its influence on the structure and dynamics of a savannah large mammal community
(University of Nairobi, 1975-12)The Amboseli ecosystem is in a semi-arid savannah environment in which water availability is highly seasonal, a feature which has an important bearing on the structure and efficiency of the large mammal community. Data ... -
Constitutional Development in Kenya in 1999
(1999)This report traces and evaluates constitutional development in Kenya in 1999. Section One describes the meaning and nature of constitutional development. Section Two presents a historical perspective of constitutional ... -
Review article: immune nephritides due to malaria.
(University of Nairobi, 1988)A nine-year-old boy from a non-malarial endemic area of Nyanza, Kenya, neighbouring a holoendemic area of the province was admitted to hospital in 1981 with abdominal distension, leg swelling and swelling of the scrotum ...
