(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, 1994)Do you need some information? Push a button and the machine will answer! Amendments to this ridiculous way of thinking are proposed. The roles of adaptation and positive information utility in building a self-organizing ... -
Cross Listing and Dividend Policy: Evidence From Cross Listings within East Africa
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2010)The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of cross listing on dividend policy for cross listed firms within East Africa and to test the substitute hypothesis. The study first conducts univariate analysis for the ... -
The ovary of the insectivorous bat Otomops martiensseni.
(Department of Zoology, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1975)Ovaries from 30 bats were investigated. The left ovary is atrophic in Otomops martiensseni. The histology and ultrastructure of the right ovary are described. The corpus luteum degenerates during early pregnancy. The ... -
The Holocene History of Lake Victoria
(University of Nairobi.Department of Chemistry, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2000)Recent investigations by the International Decade for the East African Lakes (IDEAL) have significantly advanced our knowledge on the history of Lake Victoria. Seismic reflection profiles confirm the origin of the lake as ... -
Genetic variation in wild Anopheles arabiensis Patton of Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya
(Cambridge University PressDepartment of Botany, University of Nairobi, 1987)Electrophoretic variation was determined at eight enzyme loci in Anopheles arabiensis from four villages in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya. Seven loci had polymorphic alíeles of which at least two were common. Pooled allele ... -

The Key Reasons for Cros s - Listing in East A frican Stock Exchanges by Firms Listed in the Nairobi Securities Exchange
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 2012)The purpose of this study was to investigate the key reasons behind the decision by the firm management of Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) listed firms to cross-list in East African Exchanges. The study employed ... -
Ceratitid fruitflies infesting fruit crops in Kenya
(Cambridge University PressDepartment of Botany, University of Nairobi, 1994)Between 1984 and 1988, a survey of fruit-infesting ceratitid fruitflies was conducted in 11 agricultural districts in Kenya. Samples of up to 18 different fruit crops were examined for infestation. The four species of ... -
Mount elgon bat virus: A hitherto undescribed virus from Rhinolophus hildebrandtii eloquens K. Anderson
(Department of Zoology, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1969)A hitherto undescribed virus was isolated from salivary glands of a fruitbat of the speciesRhinolophus hildebrandtii eloquens (K. Andersen). Some of its properties are discussed. Of the viruses, isolated from organs of ... -
Quaternary Science Reviews Volume 29, Issues 23–24, November 2010, Pages 2981–2988 Cover image Human evolution in a variable environment: the amplifier lakes of Eastern Africa
(University of Nairobi.Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya, 2010-11)The development of the Cenozoic East African Rift System (EARS) profoundly re-shaped the landscape and significantly increased the amplitude of short-term environmental response to climate variation. In particular, the ... -
Delayed Implantation in an Equatorial Fruit Bat
(Department of Zoology, Makerere University College, Kampala, Uganda., 1965)AT Kampala, Uganda (latitude 0° 20' N.), there is an enormous roost of the fruit bat, Eidolon helvum Kerr. Numbers vary seasonally, with a maximum of about 250,000 during October-November -
Curvature tensors in riemannian manifold—II
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi, 1974)In a recent paper author and Mishra [1] have studied the recurrent properties of conformal curvature tensor, conharmonic curvature tensor, concircular curvature tensor and projective curvature tensor in a Riemannian manifold. ... -
Comparative dehydrogenase activity during the ontogenesis of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti L. (diptera:culicidae)
(ElsevierBotany department University of Nairobi., 1980)α-GPDH in most active in adults, LDH in third instar larvae, and MDH in third instar larvac. During pre-pupal growth, LDH is the most active enzyme, followed by MDH and α-GPDH; while during post-pupal growth, MDH is ... -
A comparative study of reproduction in two populations of the insectivorous bats, Otomops martiensseni, at latitudes 1°5′S and 2°30′S
(Department of Zoology, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1973)The insectivorous bat under review, Otomops martiensseni (Matschie) is essentially an African bat with a distribution from down south to as far north as Kenya. It is cave-dwelling and does not appear to occur in West Africa. ... -
Field studies of larval Anopheles arabiensis Patton of Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya
(Cambridge University PressDepartment of Botany, University of NairobiDepartment of Zoology, University of Nairobi, 1989)Between May 1984 and December 1985, the population of immature stages of Anopheles arabiensis was sampled by the dip method at sites close to two villages in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya. Larval presence corresponded to ... -
Reproduction in two species of equatorial free-tailed bats (Molossidae)
(Department of Zoology, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1973)(1) The insectivorous bat T. pumila living at Entebbe latitude 0o6'N breeds throughout the year. However, it exhibits peaks in its breeding cycle which appear to coincide with the two rainfall peaks which occur at Entebbe ... -
