Mercury levels in Lake Naivasha
(University of NairobiCollege of biological and physical science, 1993) -
Mermithidae (Nematoda) infection of the aquatic stages of Simulium (Edwardsellum) from the Nine river systems in Kenya
(1987)Mermithid juveniles recovered from S. damnosum in Kenya were placed in the genus Agamomermis. Varying rates of infection by the mermithids from nine river systems were recorded between 1981 and 1983. In both the Isiukhu ... -
Meru District

Metabolic and adaptive immune responses induced in mice infected with tissue-dwelling nematode Trichinella Zimbabweans.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Tissue-dwelling helminths are known to induce intestinal and systemic inflammation accompanied with host compensatory mechanisms to counter balance nutritional and metabolic deficiencies. The metabolic and immune responses ... -
Metabolic Effects of Pleurotus ostreatus (Oyster) and Agaricus bisporis (White Button) Mushroom Preparations in Alloxan Induced Diabetic Rats
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2013) -
Metabolic reconstruction and analysis of parasite genomes
(2007)With the completion of sequencing projects for several parasite genomes, efforts are ongoing to make sense of this mass of information in terms of the gene products encoded and their interactions in the growth, development ... -
The metabolism and distribution of [14c-phenyl]-ethyl parathion in a tropical soil under field conditions
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 1998)The persistence, distribution and metabolism of [14C-phenyl]-ethyl parathion applied to soil columns in an agricultural farm were investigated under tropical field conditions. Volatilization, soil microbial activity, ... -
Metal accumulation rates in sediments and ferromanganese oxide crusts from the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ), equatorial atlantic
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1992)A suite of sediments and FeMn oxide crusts from the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ) in the equatorial Atlantic has been investigated by radiochemical techniques to determine the rates of metal accumulation in the deposits. ... -
Metal cations for the determination of fluorescent phosphoinositides by capillary electrophoresis
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2008)Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and its phosphorylated derivatives known as phosphoinositides (PIPs), are essential regulators of cell signaling and membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics, and nuclear functions. Disruption ... -
Metal-to-Metal Electron-Transfer Emission in Cyanide-Bridged Chromium−Ruthenium Complexes: Effects of Configurational Mixing Between Ligand Field and Charge Transfer Excited States
(Department of Chemistry, 2008)Irradiations of the transition metal-to-transition metal charge transfer (MMCT) absorption bands of a series of cyanide-bridged chromium(III)−ruthenium(II) complexes at 77 K leads to near-infrared emission spectra of the ... -

Metalation, Reduction and Cleavage Reactions of 2- methyl 2-Thiazolines
(Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi, 1972) -
Metallic Cu and In Films deposited by d.c. magnetron sputtering
(Kluwer Academic PublishersDepartment of Physics, University of Dar es Salaam,, 2001)Cu and In fims have been deposited by direct current (d.c.) magnetron sputtering on glass substrates under different deposition conditions. Deposition temperature, partial pressure in the vacuum chamber, and thickness ... -
Meteorological Aspects of Gaussian Diffusion Modelling in Tropical Areas (A case study)

Methallibure studies on tilapia. III. Effects of tilapian partially purified pituitary gonadotrophic fractions on the testes of Methallibure-treated Sarotherodon spirulus (= Tilapia nigra)
(University of Nairobi, 1979-12)Tilapian fish Sarotherodon spirulus (= Tilapia nigra) were treated with the gonadotrophic inhibitor, methallibure, for 9 weeks during the last 2 of which they were divided into a control group and 8 experimental groups. ... -
Methallibure studies on Tilapia: II. Effect of tilapia pituitary homogenate (TPH), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and testosterone propionate (TP) on the testes of Methallibure-treated Tilapia nigra
(University of Nairobi, 1974-07)In Methallibure-suppressed T. nigra testes high and low doses of TPH and HCG stimulate a qualitatively similar reactivation of spermatogenesis resulting in a significant elevation of testicular weight and G.S.I.; interstitial ... -
Methane and heavy metals levels from Leachates at Dandora dumpsite, Nairobi county, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2016)Rate of urbanization in Kenya has increased, resulting to increased generation of solid and liquid wastes. This has increased the use of landfills and dumpsites to manage wastes as well to reduce pollution. Landfills and ... -
Method for depth estimation on aeromagnetic vertical gradient anomalies
(Department of Geology, University of Nairobi, 1985)The straight-slope technique introduced some years ago by Vacquier et al. (1951) is employed to develop simple empirical procedures that can be used to determine depth to the top/center of anomalous sources on measured ...
