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 ... -
Method for Discovering Broken Symmetries from Experimental Scattering Data
(University of Nairobi, 1982)A method based on a modified eigenchannel formalism is proposed for discovering broken symmetries from experimental coupled-channel scattering data. The method suggests that the low-energy I=12 S-wave πN-ηN coupled-channel ... -
A method of identifying individual lions Panthera leo with an analysis of the reliability of identification
(University of Nairobi, 1970-04)A method is described of identifying lions from the patterns of vibrissa spots. “Reliability” of identification is discussed in terms of the probability of there being more than one individual with a given spot pattern in ... -
Methodological rigor of prognostic models for predicting in-hospital paediatric mortality in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review protocol
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Introduction: In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where healthcare resources are often limited, making decisions on appropriate treatment choices is critical in ensuring reduction of paediatric deaths as well as ... -

Methods for translating ICTs’ survey questionnaire into French and Bambara
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Researchers have used many instruments to gather data on the use of Information and Communication Technology to disseminate information on agricultural inputs towards farmers. These instruments are in English and based ... -
Methods of In Ovo and Ex Ovo Ostrich Embryo Culture with Observations on the Development and Maturation of the Chorioallantoic Membrane
(University of Nairobi, 2023)Culture of shell-free and windowed eggs for drug testing and other experiments has been perfected for smaller eggs such as those of chickens, where the developing blood vessels of the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) become ... -
Methylene Blue Adsorption onto Coconut husks/Polylactide Blended Films: Equilibrium and Kinetic Studies
(2014)The removal of cationic methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions by coconut husks/polylactide blended films was studied in a batch system. Experiments were modeled as a function of contact time, initial dye concentration, ... -
MHD Stokes Problem For A Vertical Infinite Plate In A Dissipative Rotating Fluid With Hall Current
(University of Nairobi, 1998)Natural convection in the hydromagnetic flow of a viscous incompressible rotating fluid system, taking into account viscous dissipative heat and Hall current, has been studied. The coupled nonlinear equations are solved ... -
