Age and Polarity of the Turkana Lavas, North-west Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1966-06)THE extension of the Trap Series of Ethiopia into north-west Kenya has previously been suggested on stratigraphical and petrological grounds1. This area has recently been mapped on the basis of a reconnaissance2, and the ... -
Genetic Variations and their Association with Diseases among Kenyan Ethnic Populations
(University of Nairobi, 2010)Human populations are polymorphic for many loci. The inhabitants of different regions of the earth can be characterised on the basis of the relative gene frequencies. These gene frequencies have been associated with certain ... -
Financial Literacy and Retirement Planning in the Informal Sector in Kenya

(University of Nairobi, 2014)Mobile banking service, M-Shwari, allows users to save, earn interest and borrow loan over a short period of time using their mobile phones. The service has a potential to spur economic growth if consumers could understand ... -
The Dynamics of Vector-Host Feeding Contact Rate with Saturation: A Case of Malaria in Western Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2013-10)In this study, we develop an expression for a saturated mosquito feeding rate in an SIS malaria model to determine its effect on infection and transmission dynamics of malaria in the highlands of Western Kenya. The basic ... -

Interpretation of Late Precambrian Palaeomagnetic Results from Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1971-12-17)An apparent polar wander path for the Late Precambrian of Africa is proposed. It is defined by new data from Kenya and Tanzania covering the period 800 My to 1000 or 1100 My, and with an average polar wander rate of about ... -
The Palaeomagnetism of the Kisii Series, Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1971-12-17)The Precambrian Kisii Series in Western Kenya is unmetamorphosed and contains andesites, rhyolites, quartzites and basalts. The basalts, for which a minimum K-Ar age of 930 My is cited, were sampled at 15 sites, and after ... -

Equatorial ionospheric absorption
(1956)A study has been made of the variation of absorption with frequency and sun's zenith distance χ at Ibadan at vertical incidence. Since the propagation at Ibadan is almost purely transverse, simple theories in terms of ... -
