Urea Production, Acid-base Regulation And Their Interactions In The Lake Magadi Tilapia, A Unique Teleost Adapted To A Highly Alkaline Environment
(1994)
The Lake Magadi tilapia, Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, thrives in highly alkaline
geothermal springs and pools surrounding Lake Magadi, Kenya (control pH=9.9,
CCO·=173mmoll21), has a functional hepatic ornithine–urea ...
Stability and oligosaccharide binding of the N1 cellulose-binding domain of Cellulomonas fimi endoglucanase CenC.
(University of Nairobi, 1998-03)
Differential scanning calorimetry has been used to study the thermal stability and oligosaccharide-binding thermodynamics of the N-terminal cellulose-binding domain of Cellulomonas fimi beta-1,4-glucanase CenC (CBDN1). ...
The East African rift system in the light of KRISP 90
(1994)
On the basis of a test experiment in 1985 (KRISP 85) an integrated seismic-refraction/teleseismic survey (KRISP 90) was undertaken to study the deep structure beneath the Kenya rift down to depths of 100–150 km. This paper ...
Effects Of Ammonia On Survival, Swimming And Activities Of Enzymes Of Nitrogen Metabolism In The Lake Magadi Tilapia Oreochromis Alcalicus Grahami
(1993)
The Lake Magadi tilapia, Oreochromis alcalicus grahami, is remarkable among
teleosts in that it flourishes under extremely well-buffered alkaline water conditions
(pH10, CCO· 180mmol l21) at temperatures of 30–40°C (Wood ...
A morphological and morphometric study of the prosimian lung: the lesser bushbaby Galago senegalensis.
(1990)
Among mammals, it is only in the order Primate that the extant members in fair
measure present graded features approximating to the stages of the evolution from the
early ancestral (prosimian) primates through to anthropoid ...
Diabetes Ulcers - A Clinical And Bacteriological Study.
(University of Nairobi, 1991)
In an 8 month period we have studied 100 consecutive patients with diabetic ulcers. The sex distribution was even. Eighty-three percent had non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Sixty-nine percent of the ulcers were ...
Glomerular disease in KEnya - Another look at the disease characterised by Nephrotic Proteinuria.
(University of Nairobi, 1994)
Renal biopsies were evaluated in 422 patients with nephrotic syndrome at the Kenyatta National Hospital between 1982 and 1993. Three hundred and fifty five (84.1%) of the patients were less than 30 years old (range: 7 ...
Clinical Surprises And Challenges Of Severe Malaria At Kenyatta National Hospital - Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 1993-02)
Stereological methods for estimating the functional surfaces of the chiropteran small intestine.
(1995)
A tissue sampling protocol has been devised for studying the functional surfaces of chiropteran small
intestine and drawing comparisons within and between species. The goal was to obtain minimally biased
stereological ...
Kenya Enters the Fertility Transition
(University of Nairobi, 1992)
Contraceptive prevalence is rising and fertility is falling in Kenya, and the speed with which these changes are occurring suggests that Kenya has passed a turning point and entered a transition. In this paper the author ...
