Failure of mammalian TRH to stimulate thyroid function in the
(University of Nairobi, 1973)Synthetic TRH in doses as high as 100 μg per 50 g (average) lungfish produced no change in radioiodine metabolism in the thyroid gland. In similar animals 1.0 IU of bovine TSH clearly was stimulatory. -
Control of gliding angle in Rüppell's Griffon Vulture Gyps rüppellii
(University of Nairobi, 1970-11)1. The drag of the frozen, wingless body of a Rüppell's griffon vulture was measured in a wind tunnel with a simple drag balance. The drag coefficient with feet and neck retracted was 0.43, based on the greatest cross-sectional ... -
Gliding Flight of the Dog-Faced Bat Rousettus Aegyptiacus Observed in a Wind Tunnel
(University of Nairobi, 1971)1. A bat was trained to fly in a tilting wind tunnel. Stereoscopic photographs were taken, both by reflected and by transmitted light, and measurements of best gliding angle were made. 2. Variation of wing span and area ... -
A method of identifying individual lions Panthera leo with an analysis of the reliability of identification
(University of Nairobi, 1970-04)A method is described of identifying lions from the patterns of vibrissa spots. “Reliability” of identification is discussed in terms of the probability of there being more than one individual with a given spot pattern in ... -
Application Of Environmental Lavi Paradigm To Tame Conflict And Poverty In Natural Resource - Rich African Countries
(University of Nairobi, 2007)This presentation is prepared for a great occasion. Like most academics over fifty years of age, I have made several notable presentations, including those inaugurating specific epochs. But to me the present one is a kin ... -
Genetics of the mimetic African butterfly Hypolimnas misippus: hindwing polymorphism
(University of Nairobi,, 1989)The hindwing polymorphism in Hypolimnas misippus is autosomal but sex-limited to the female. It is characterised by three intergrading phenotypes, orange, low white (white in 1–3 intervein spaces) and high white (white in ... -
Dielectric loss measurements on raw materials
(University of Nairobi,, 1980)This paper describes a relatively simple experiment which can be performed by undergraduate students to study the dielectric properties of materials. Values of the dielectric loss tangent can be determined at low frequencies ... -
The Genetics Of The Butterfly Hypolimnas Misippus (l.): The Classification Of Phenotypes And The Inheritance Of Forms Misippus And Inaria
(University of Nairobi,, 1987)Hypolimnas misippus is a polymorphic and mimetic butterfly with a pantropicaP distribution. The polymorphism is autosomal and female-limited, the several female forms being generally regarded as Batesian mimics of the ... -
The Montgenevre ophiolite (Hautes Alpes, France): Meta—morphism and trace-element geochemistry of the volcanic sequence
(University of Nairobi, 1980)The Montgenevre ophiolite near Briançon in the French Alps consists of pillow lavas, pegmatitic and flaser gabbros and serpentinite in tectonic contact. These rocks have been metamorphosed under prehnite—pumpellyite to ... -
External Built Residential Environment Characteristics that Affect Mental Health of Adults
(University of Nairobi, 2014)External built residential environment characteristics include aspects of building design such as types of walls, doors and windows, green spaces, density of houses per unit area, and waste disposal facilities. Neighborhoods ... -
Radiation Measurements Mount Kenya, At Lewis Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1980)ABSTRACT. Short- and long-wave radiation on variously oriented vertical surfaces, direct solar radiation, global radiation, and long-wave radiation on a horizontal surface were measured on Lewis Glacier, Mount Kenya, ... -

Minimal cross-infection risk through Icare rebound tonometer probes: a useful tool for IOP-screenings in developing countries
(University of Nairobi,, 2010)Aims Recently, a new rebound tonometer has been introduced into the market, which might be useful for glaucoma screenings in developing countries. Disposable probes, that are potentially reusable, are recommended ... -
Providing effective pain management
(University of Nairobi,, 2014)Pain is a common presenting symptom, both in primary and secondary care. For over 30 years, studies of adult patients have consistently demonstrated inadequacies in the treatment of acute pain in the postoperative period. ... -
Gliding Flight Of The White-backed Vulture Gyps Africanus
(University of Nairobi, 1970-11)1. Glide-comparison measurements were made on ten species of East African soaring birds using a Schleicher ASK-14 powered sailplane. Horizontal and vertical speed differences between bird and glider were measured by a ... -
A seasonal air transport climatology for Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1999-06)A climatology of air transport to and from Kenya has been developed using kinematic trajectory modeling. Significant months for trajectory analysis have been determined from a classification of synoptic circulation fields. ... -
Mean motion field in East Africa at the level of the East African low level jet core
(University of Nairobi, 1985)The mean flow over East Africa at the 1.5 km level during May through September is presented. All available daily wind vectors from 1952–1973 for 22 pilot balloon stations were used. The southeast-southwest monsoon ...
