In Vitro Clonal Multiplication Of Pyrethrum (Chrysanthemum Cinerariaefolium Vis.) By Micropropagation
(University of Nairobi, 1981-09)
Successful tissue culture procedures have been established for rapid in vitro multiplication of pyrethrum. Multiple shoot formation through axillary bud proliferation was induced in shoot tip cultures on Murashige & Skoog's ...
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 ...

(University of Nairobi, 1987)
Most African governments are aiming to provide a supply of clean and
safe water for rural people by the year 2000. Faced with a rapid population
growth rate of four percent per annum (the highest in the world) and
limited ...
Mutagenicity Testing of Herbicides, Fungicides and Insecticides I Chromosome aberrations in Vicia faba
(University of Nairobi, 1981)
The insecticides: summithion, lannate, carbicron, thiodan and kelthane, the fungicides: diathane M-45 and aladrin and the herbicides: ramrod, lasso, round up and grammoxone induce acute mitostatic effects of Vicia faba ...

(University of Nairobi,, 1987)
A generalized financial model for analyzing the operations of an electric utility in a developing country has been developed. It demonstrates the application of microcomputers for management control, operational analysis, ...
Cytogenetic effects of the food preservatives — Sodium benzoate and sodium sulphite on Vicia faba root meristems
(1982-11)
Sodium sulphite and sodium benzoate induce in Vicia faba root meristems: (1) dose-dependent reduction in mitotic figures, (2) intact and severed anaphase bridges, (3) premature chromosome condensation heading to pycnofic ...
Resurfacing Saturn's Satellites: Models Of Partial Differentiation And Expansion
(University of Nairobi, 1985-12)
The faulting seen on the surfaces of Saturn's icy moons may have been caused either by external events, such as large impacts, or internal stresses caused by the expansion of the moons as long-lived radionuclides produced ...
Dielectric loss measurements on raw materials
(University of Nairobi,, 1980)
This paper describes a relatively simple experiment which can be performed by undergraduate students to study the dielectric properties of materials. Values of the dielectric loss tangent can be determined at low frequencies ...
