Effect of physicochemical conditions on growth rates of cyanobacteria species isolated from Lake Magadi, a soda lake in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Cyanobacteria contribute significantly to primary productivity by adding nitrogen into the ecosystem through nitrogen fixation. They are also used as biofertilizers, food and feed while others produce compounds that have ...
Contribution of Africa’s Coastal and Marine Sectors to Sustainable Development
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
More than half of the world's population lives within 60 km of the shoreline, and in Africa
trends in population growth indicate that this figure could rise to three quarters by the next
century. The lives and reasonable ...
Insect pests of Cowpeas Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. and studies on Cowpea yield assessment under different chemical spray regimes and minimum use of insecticides against the dominant insect pest species at Katumani Dryland Research Station, Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 1984)
Studies to identify major insect pests attacking cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp., in the field and to assess cowpea yields under different chemical control regimes were conducted at Katumani, Kenya during the short and ...
Developing a genetic classification for gene pool management of spotted gums
(02-07-13)
Spotted gums (Genus Corymbia Section Politaria) occur as a species replacement series
along the eastern seaboard of Australia, their distributions marked by regions of
disjunction and sympatry. Their taxonomy remains ...
Genetic Variation in Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Acari: Ixodidae) Populations in Kenya, Assessed by two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
(2013)
The study of protein variation is an indirect, relatively
inexpensive approach to genetic analysis. In this study, the protein
profiles of two distinct populations of the brown ear tick (Rhipicephalus
appendiculatus) ...
ZnO:Sn deposition by reactive evaporation: Effects of Sn doping on the electrical and optical properties
(02-07-13)
Tin doped zinc oxide thin films were deposited by reactive evaporation under various tin doping levels ranging from 1% to 8%. The deposition was done using Edwards Auto 306 coating unit at room temperature (25°C) and 5.0 ...
