The ecology of ciliated protozoa in an alkaline-saline lake, lake Nakuru, Kenya
(1995)
Abundance, biomass and production of planktonic ciliates in Lake Nakuru were
estimated between June, 1993 to January, 1994. Lake Nakuru had high abundances of
a cyanobacterium (Spirulina platensisy, flagellates, algae ...
Estimation of risks in stock markets (securities considered are KQ shares, KCB shares and Barclays bank shares)
(2005)
Whenever one thinks of an investment, the term risk loudly or silently comes into
ones mind. Attempts have been prompted to define and estimate risks both in capital
assets and stocks. The pillar to which all these have ...
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 ...
Studies on the community structure,population dynamics and production of the limnetic zooplankton in a tropical lake,lake naivasha, Kenya
(1983)
The first quantitative study of the limnetic
zooplankton community of Lake Naivasha, Kenya, was
undertaken from July 1978 to July 1980. Using a 105
um mesh net, vertical haul zooplankton samples were
taken from 3 ...
Characterization of Casein Kinase II of trypanosoma (nannomonas) Congolense
(1993)
Casein kinase II from Trypanosoma congolense has been partially purified by
chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and heparin-agarose and this subunit exhibits
protein kinase activity with casein as the substrate. The enzyme ...
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 ...
Bioproductivity in relation to photosynthesis in four grassland ecosystems in Kenya
(1981)
Productivity studies were carried out in four
grassland ecosystems differing in several environmental
constraints using two harvesting programmes;
"Continuous growt.h plo t s" CC G P) and "Permanent
plots" CPP). The ...
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 ...
