(Department of Chemistry; Kyambogo University,Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi,Department of Chemistry, University of Gothenburg,, 2011)Flemingia graharriiana (Wight & Arn.) is an erect herb or sub-shrub up to 1.8 m tall with deep (sometimes tuberous) roots and 3-foliate alternate leaves. It is distributed in Tropical Africa and occurs in open and wooded ... -
Biochemical changes in the plasma of vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) experimentally infected with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense
(University of Nairobi, 2008-05-16)Biochemical evaluation of plasma during disease conditions gives an indication of the functional status of the various body organs. Biochemical analysis of plasma from 32 vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) infected ... -
Biochemical identification of Phlebotomus (Larroussius) pedifer and Phlebotomus (Larroussius) elegonensis
(1989)Females of the vector of Leishmania aerhiopica, Phlebotomus pedifer. have previously been morphologically indistinguishable from the non-vector. P. elegonensis. The present studies have biochemically separated these two ... -
Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) of Market Wastes from Nairobi Inoculated With Dagoretti Slaughterhouse Waste
(University of Nairobi, 2020)Background: Anaerobic degradation entails the conversion of substrate organic matter to biogas. A wide variety of substrate has been employed. The biochemical methane potential of twenty market wastes was investigated ... -
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology
(ElsevierDepartment of botany, 1975)Biflavanoid patterns of leaves of 82 species of the order Cycadales comprising 3 families and 10 genera have been determined. The biflavanoids were identified by TLC, UV, NMR and MS studies. Pattern differences between ... -
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology
(Department of botany, University of Nairobi, 1974)Leaf extracts of 540 plants representing 24 species of the genus Prosopis from North and South America were analyzed by 2-D PC and high voltage electrophoresis for their protein and non-protein amino acids. In addition to ... -
