The distribution and economic importance of the mangrove forests in Kenya
(1985)The mangroves form a group of higher plants which form a unique ecosystem, in that they grow in that part of land which is neither in demand for human settlement nor for agricultural use. They are also unique in their ... -
Distribution and significance of amino acids in the leaves of Acacia and Crotalaria (Leguminosae)
(University of NairobiCollege of biological and physical science, 1980) -
Distribution in Kenya of intermediate hosts of Schistosoma.
(University of Nairobi.Department of zoology, 1981-06)A major factor in the geographical distribution of endemic schistosomiasis in Kenya is the discontinuous distribution of intermediate hosts. Biomphalaria pfeifferi is the main transmitter of S. mansoni and is found in the ... -
Distribution of anthraquinone pigments in Rumex species of Kenya
(College of Physical and Biological Sciences, 1985)A correspondence between pigment structures and leaf morphology has been found in Kenyan Rumex species -
Distribution of applied cadmium in different size fractions of soils after incubation
(Chemistry, 2006)The size fraction of soils is one of the important factors that influence the retention of heavy metals. The sorptive properties of soils for heavy metals are principally associated with clay and silt-size fractions. ... -
The Distribution Of C3 And C4 Grasses And Carbon Isotope Discrimination Along An Altitudinal And Moisture Gradient In Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1979)More than 500 species of the Poaceae are found in Kenya, East Africa. Eighteen of twenty-seven tribes are exclusively (except the Paniceae and Danthonieae) of the C3 photosynthetic type. A floristic analysis of low altitude ... -
The distribution of C3 and C4 photosynthetic species of the Centrospermeae along an altitudinal gradient in Western Kenya.
(University of NairobiCollege of Biological and Physical Sciences,University of Nairobi, 2009)Two hundred and seventy eight species of the Centrospermeae were collected at different sites in Western Kenya representing gradients of altitude and aridity. Climate data were obtained from meteorological research stations. ... -
Distribution of Cr, Pb, Cd, Zn, Fe and Mn in lake Victoria sediments, East Africa
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 1989)The presence of many metals at trace or ultra-trace levels in the human environment has received increased global attention. Sediments as a sink for pollutants are widely recognized pollution sources and diagenesis and ... -
The Distribution of Cu and Pb Levels in Soils and Acacia xanthophloea Benth. from Lake Nakuru National Park Kenya
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 2007)Environmental pollution with toxic metals continues to be a serious global concern. Pollution of soils with toxic trace metals have increased considerably since the onset of industrialization and urbanization (Nriagu, 1990; ... -
Distribution of Elastic Fibres in the Human Abdominal Linea Alba
(University of Nairobi, 2015)The linea alba (LA) supports biomechanical stress generated by intra-abdominal pressure. It is believed to contain connective tissue fibres, which provide tensile strength and pliancy. Previous studies have dwelt on collagen ... -

Distribution of fusarium species and the occurrence of toxigenic strains of fusarium verticillioides and fusarium proliferatum in Nandi County, Kenya
(2015)Maize is a staple food and feed commodity in Kenya. It is grown on abou t 1.4 million hectares of cropland with an annual estimated yield of 28 tonnes. One of the main concerns of maize production is maize ear rot disease. ... -
The Distribution Of Geophilic Dermatophytes In Kenyan Soils
(University of Nairobi, 1978)Two hundred and eighty one soil samples from different provinces of Kenya were examined for dermatophytes by the hair baiting technique. Dermatophytes were recovered from 84 samples. Microsporum gypseum constituted 75.8% ... -
