Characterization of s. damnosuum s .1. From six River-systems in kenya using ecological Parameters and cellulose Acetate electrophoresis
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
From December 1981 up to April 1983 ecological and biochemical
studies were carried out on the Simulium damno Sum complex sibling
spec~es in nine river-systems of Kenya, of which only six were
found suitable for ~. damno ...
The kinetics of dissolution of zircon (ZrSiO4)
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
The dissolution of amorphous zircon obeys first order kinetics, and, over long periods of time decreases due to precipitation of new phases from solution. The dissolution reaction has an activation energy of 12.8 K cal/mole. ...
Effects Of Arbovirus Infections On Some Behavioupal Aspects Of A Mosquito Aedes Aegypti (Linnaeus)
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
The effects of Semliki forest virus (SF) Sindbis virus (SIN) and Wesselsbron virus (WSL) infection on the feeding behaviour, flight and oviposition in a laboratory strain of Aedes aegypti (L) were investigated after ...
Computerisation of maize yields survey
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
A comparative investigation of weather anomalies over Africa during the 1972 drought and 1977-1978 wet period
(1984)
In 1972 the African continent experienced severe drought
conditions. 'Jh~Sudano-Sahelian drought started in 1968and persisted
through 1974. Contrary to 1972, the years 1977 and 1978 received
near normal rainfall in most ...
The transfer ribonucleic acid methyltransferases from the bloodstream form of trypanosoma brucei
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
The methyltransferases are a group of enzymes
that catalyse the transfer of methyl groups from a
donor substrate to a recipient substrate. The donor
substrate is usually s-adenosyl-I-methionine (SAM),

Heavy metal analysis of sewage sludge by x-ray Fluorescence technique and the environmental Implications
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
The use of sewage sludge as a manure has for
a long time been considered as the most economical
method for its disposal. However, while serving
as a good source of plant nutrients, application

Phytochemical screening of Kenyan rumex species as a possible source of purgatives
(1984)
Rumex species have been widely used around
the world for anthelmintic and laxative
purposes. In this country R. abyssinicus,
R. bequaertii and R. usambarensis are reputed
as useful for the same purposes in traditiona ...
Renormalizable gauges and radiative corrections in gauge theories
(1984)
Radiative corrections in gauge theories are used to study
physical processes on the basis of the standard electroweak model.
The concepts of gauge invariance and gauge dependence are
investigated by considering the ...
