Behavioral Responses of Pyrethroid Resistant and Susceptible Anopheles Gambiae Mosquitoes to Insecticide Treated Bed Net
(University of Nairobi, 2022)Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets are an effective tool in reducing malaria transmission. However, with increasing insecticide resistance little is known about how physiologically resistant malaria vectors behave ... -
Behavioral Strategies Used by Macrotermes michaelseni foragers to Avoid Ant Predation (lsoptera: Macrotermitinae)
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi, 1989)Macrotermes michae/seni, a dominant invertebrate herbivore in the semi-arid savanna of Kajiado, Kenya, was studied to establish what measures its foragers adopt to counteract ant predation while insuring adequate ... -
Behavioural response of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae to host plant volatiles and synthetic blends
(School of Biological Sciences, 2012)Background Sugar feeding is critical for survival of malaria vectors and, although discriminative plant feeding previously has been shown to occur in Anopheles gambiae s.s., little is known about the cues mediating ... -

The belt of equatorial spread-F
(University of Nairobi, 1960)The morphology of the belt of equatorial spread-F at sunspot maximum is investigated, using I.G.Y. data, for magnetically quiet and magnetically disturbed conditions respectively. The belt is found to extend from about ... -

The benthic macrofauna community of Kenyan waters of Lake Victoria
(Kluwer Academic PublishersDepartment of Zoology, University of Nairobi,Kisumu Research Centre, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute,, 2001)The benthic macroinvertebrates in the Kenya waters of Lake Victoria (ca. 1400 km2) were surveyed during four 10 day sampling periods in February, April, August and November 1984. Fourty three taxonomic groups were recorded. ... -
Bentonite (clay montmorillonite) as a template for electrosynthesis of thyroxine
(Department of Chemisty, University of Nairobi, 1999)The results discussed in this paper show that modification of the working electrode surface with clay montmorillonite (bentonite) enhances the iodine redox process and electrosynthesis of thyroxine. This is observed from ... -
Bentonite used as a host matrix in the study of ester hydrolysis
(University of Nairobi, 2015)Abstract: In this paper results obtained on the kinetics of este r adsorption on raw, acid treated and pre - heated bentonite have bee n presented. T he infra - red profiles and the XRF spectra of ... -

Berger-Shaw inequalityfor n-Power quasinormal and w-hyponormal operators
(2014)Every reducible operator can be decomposed into normal and completely non-normal operators. Unfortunately, there are several non normal operators which are irreducible. However, every operator whose self-commutator is ... -
