The morphology of the gills of the freshwater African crab Potamon niloticus (Crustacea: Brachyura: Potamonidae): A scanning and transmission electron microscopic study
(Wiley, 1990)
The gills of the African freshwater crab Potamon niloticus-Ortmann have been investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Potamon has seven pairs of phyllobranchiate gills contained in the branchial ...
Inhibition of growth and toxin production by Lauric acid derivatives in Aspergillus species
(University of Nairobi, 1984)
The thickness of avian blood-gas barrier: qualitative and quantitative observations.
(1982)
Gas exchange in the avian lung takes place across a blood-gas barrier formed, as
in other air-breathing vertebrates, by three essential components, an epithelial cell,
a basal lamina, and an endothelial cell. The thickness ...
Diacetyl—A growth and toxin inhibitor of Aspergilli
(University of Nairobi, 1985)
Diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) a food additive, was found to be very effective in inhibiting growth and toxin production of Aspergillus flavus, A. versicolor and A. ochraceus when grown on synthetic liquid media and on natural ...
A seroepidemiological study of bovine cysticercosis in Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 1979)
Morphometrics of the avian lung. 3. The structural design of the passerine lung
(1984)
The lungs of 46 adult, wild passerine birds belonging to 8 species have been analysed morphometrically, both by light and electron microscope. Volumes were estimated by point counting, surface areas by intersection counting, ...
Testing a von Liebig Crop Response Function against Polynomial Specifications
(1985)
Crop responses to fertilizers traditionally have been specified as polynomial functions. Recently, criticisms were raised against such specifications because they force substitution between nutrients and overestimate the ...
