Plant parasitic nematodes associated with common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and integrated management Approaches.
(University of Nairobi, 2003)
A field study to determine the distribution and population densities of plant parasitic nematodes associated with beans was undertaken in Kakamega, Kiambu, Machakos and Siaya districts of Kenya.

Evaluation of phosphorus uptake from Minjingu Phosphate rock, growth and nodulation of agroforestry tree species in an acid soil from Kenya. In: Assessment of soil phosphorus status and management of phosphatic fertilizer
(University of Nairobi, 2002)
Most acid soils of the tropics and subtropics show a widespread phosphorus (P) deficiency and high P sorption capacity, and therefore require substantial P inputs for optimum plant growth and production of food and fiber. ...
Available technologies to replenish soil fertility in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2007)
Low inherent soil fertility in the highly weathered and leached soils largely accounts for low and unsustained crop yields in most African countries. But in particular, the major nutrients, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), ...
Anti-plasmodial Activities Of Flavonoids From Erythrina Sacleuxii
(University of Nairobi, 2006-02)
The acetone extracts of the root bark and stem bark of Erythrina sacleuxii showed antiplasmodial activities against the chloroquine-sensitive (D6) and chloroquine-resistant (W2) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Chromatographic ...

Transition from Brittle Failure to Ductile Flow in a Sandy Soil
(2007)
A series of experiments were carried out using a triaxial system modified for unsaturated soil testing to investigate brittle transitional and ductile failure behaviour of a sandy clay loam soil under varying soil water ...
Static and dynamic axial crushing of spot-welded thin-walled composite steel–CFRP square tubes
(2009)
Thin-walled metallic tubular components have long been adopted in the transportation industries, where the stable energy absorbing crushing process provides protection to occupants and cargo in the event of a collision. ...
