Analysis of selected techniques for surveys of intestinal parasites.
(University of Nairobi, 1978)A review is given of the recent literature on methods for diagnosis of intestinal parasites for epidemiological surveys. There are 23 references. The Kato, Harada-Mori, merthiolate-iodine-formaldehyde (MIF), scotch-tape ... -
The palaeomagnetism of the Ethiopian flood basalt succession near Addis Ababa
(University of Nairobi, 1970-01-22)Measurements on samples from 20 sites in the Ethiopian flood basalt succession yield a palaeomagnetic pole at 80.8° N, 167.7° E with a circle of confidence of 4.3°. The pole for these rocks is significantly different from ... -

(University of Nairobi, 1971-05-17)A total of 83 selected palaeomagnetic results are used in a latitude analysis of palaeosecular variation to show that Cox's 1970 model for secular variation fits the data, provided the dipole wobble is between 1 1/2° and ... -
Putnam’s inequality for n-Power normal, n-Power quasinormal and w-hyponormal operators,
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Every reducible operator can be decomposed into normal and completely non-normal operators. Unfortunately, there are several non normal operators which are irreducible. However, every operator whose self-commutator is ...
