Habitat utilization by birds, hippopotamus (hippopotamus amphibious) and livestock in lake Ol'bolossat, Kenya.
(2003)
The field study was conducted between April and November 1999.
The study established the habitat use and activity budget for Red knobbed coots
(Fulicata cristata), Egyptian geese (Alopochen aegyptica), Yellow-billed ...
The Correlation of plasma lipid levels with susceptibility of inbred laboratory mice to experimental Trypanosoma Congolense infection
(University of Nairobi, 2005)
Mammalian hosts of African trypanosomes show marked differences in
susceptibility to infection with Trypanosoma congolense as judged by survival time,
anaemia, and levels of parasitaemia. For instance, the N'Dama cattle ...
Bryodiversity of mount Marsabit forest and bryophytes mist trapping ability assessment
(University of Nairobi, 2005)
Mt. Marsabit forest is isolated by semi desert and desert, with vegetation ranging from
scrubland at the base to tropical rain forest at the peak. The forest has abundant pendant
bryophyte cover at the peak. The mountain ...
Development of molecular markers for species diagnosis and analysis of genetic diversity in African fruit fly populations
(2004)
In this study, the possibility of using Ceratitis capitata (medfly)-derived
microsatellites both for developing an SSR-based species-diagnostic peR assay and
studying the genetic structures of a range of congeneric, ...
Genetic characterization of African chicken using mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences
(2006)
Knowledge of the genetic diversity is a prerequisite for better utilization of any genetic
resource. However, such information is lacking for the indigenous African chicken.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) displacement (D)-loop ...
Characterization of trypanosomosis resistance QTL, tir1, in the mouse
(2000)
In order to characterise the D17MIT16 BAC DNA clone which is part of a 1200
kilobase DNA insert believed to contain mouse trypanotolerance genes, restriction
endonucleases were used to digest the insert for restriction ...
Biological nitrogen fixation of acacia drepanolobium
(2000)
To establish whether Acacia drepanolobium nodulates with indigenous rhizobia, 4
factorial experimental design was conducted under glasshouse conditions in soil collected
from 3 sampling sites: black cotton, transition ...
In vitro screening of bacillus strains for antagonism against selected phytopathogenic microorganisms and their potential use in biocontrol
(2008-05)
A total of 137 endospore-forming bacteria isolated and identified as members of the
genus Bacillus in a previous study were tested for viability by subculturing onto fresh
nutrient agar (NA) plates from slants in tubes ...
Elution purification and partial characterization of immunoglobulin-G bound to normal and pathological human placentae
(2005)
The unexpected failure of the mother to immunologically reject the foetus is partly
thought to result from immunological properties of the placentae and other regulatory
factors, which include immunoglobulin G (IgG). ...
Artificial neural networks in forecasting hyper markets response to consumer behaviour
(2005)
Much effort has been devoted to understanding learning and reasoning in artificial
intelligence, giving rise to a wide collection of models. For the most part, these models
focus on some observed characteristic of human ...
