Evapotranspiration rates over a crop of sunflower of the giant variety as estimated by the energy balance method
(Department of Meteorology University of Nairobi, 1975)In this study the energy balance approach is applied to determine the evapotranspiration rates over a crop of sunflower of the giant variety. Three series of measurements were taken when the crop was 1 meter high, 1! ... -
Rainfall-runoff relationships in the Ruvu Basin of Tanzania
(1982)In Tanzania rivers are mainly utilized for hydroelectric power supply, urban and rural water supply and for irrigation. The basic data required for assessing the potential of the rivers are long records of rainfall and ... -
On the identification of an optimum flood frequency model
(1986)Although a number of nonparametric analysis have appeared in the literature, traditional flood frequency analysis has been approached primarily as a problem in parametric statistical inference. Peak annual streamflow ... -

Generalised matrix and compartmental population models
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 1997)The present thesis is concerned with the development of mathematical models for structured population species. The structuring or classification may be due to age, stage of development or a combination of both in a more ... -
Elution purification and partial characterization of immunoglobulin-G bound to normal and pathological human placentae
(2005)The unexpected failure of the mother to immunologically reject the foetus is partly thought to result from immunological properties of the placentae and other regulatory factors, which include immunoglobulin G (IgG). ... -
Modelling a hierarchical system with multiple absorbing states
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2007)Previous studies on the education system, which is hierarchical in nature, made use of Markov chain transition models, comprising a single absorbing state. This work considers a Markov chain transition model consisting ... -
