Screening mosquito house entry points as a potential method for integrated control of endophagic filariasis, arbovirus and malaria vectors
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2010)BACKGROUND: Partial mosquito-proofing of houses with screens and ceilings has the potential to reduce indoor densities of malaria mosquitoes. We wish to measure whether it will also reduce indoor densities of vectors ... -
Screening of large collections of plant associated bacteria for effective plant growth promotion and colonisation
(University of Nairobi, 2013)The use of potent and effective live microbial biofertilisers in agricultural has significant potential to reduce the costs of crop production and in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution associated ... -
Screening of Local Bacillus thuringiensis Isolates for Toxicity to Chilo partellus, Sesamia calamistis and Busseola fusca in Kenya
(2007)Stem borers are a major source of pre-harvest maize crop losses in Kenya and many Sub-Saharan African countries. This menace needs to be addressed if food security is to be realized in this region. Seven local isolates of ... -
Screening of Phyllanthus Species for Antimicrobial Properties
(School of biological sciences, 2012)The development of resistant pathogenic microorganism against conventional antibiotic drugs has risen to a point of global concern. New antimicrobial compounds with diverse chemical structures and novel mechanisms of action ... -
A search for snail-related answers to explain differences in response of Schistosoma mansoni to praziquantel treatment among responding and persistent hotspot villages along the Kenyan shore of Lake Victoria
(University of Nairobi, 2019)Following a four-year annual praziquantel treatment campaign the resulting prevalence of S. mansoni was seen to differ among individual villages along the Kenyan shore of Lake Victoria. We have investigated possible inherent ... -
Searching for Optimal Schedule for Parallel Machines Using an Agent-based Technique
(School of Computing and Informatics, 2008)In this paper the scheduling of n independent jobs on m non-identical machines is considered for a large concrete schedule space for 30 jobs and 6 machines. The schedule space is about 1023 which is large enough to render ... -
Seasonal Changes In The Nutrient Content Of East African Grassland Vegetation
(University of Nairobi, 1988-06)Significant seasonal changes in the concentrations of N, P, K, and Ca were observed in the herb layer vegetation at Nairobi National Park and Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. These changes were related to the alternation ... -
Seasonal dynamics of suspended-sediment plumes from the Tana and Sabaki Rivers, Kenya: Analysis of landsat imagery
(University of Nairobi, 1984)Landsat imagery of the Kenya coast, in conjunction with meteorological, oceanographic, and river discharge data, was used to analyze coastal movement of suspended sediment from the Tana and Sabaki Rivers. The distribution ... -
The Seasonal Occurrence Of Blanketing Sporadic-e Near The Geographic Equator
(University of Nairobi, 1972-06)It is shown that the latitude at which the occurrence of blanketing sporadic-E (View the MathML source) changes over from a June maximum to a December maximum is south of the geographic equator in the African and Far Eastern ... -
Seasonal population changes and malaria transmission potential of Anopheles pharoensis and the minor anophelines in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, Kenya., 1989)A study in 1984 and 1985 showed that Anopheles gambiae s.l. and An. pharoensis were the major anophelines in Mwea Irrigation Scheme, Kenya, constituting 83.86% and 15.69% of the catch respectively. Four minor species made ... -
