Partition Geochemistry of Sediments From the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ), equitorial Atlantic
(1996)
A total of 62 sediment samples from 24 gravity and box cores obtained from
an equal number of stations in and around the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ)
in the Equatorial Atlantic have been subjected to partition chemical ...
Bentonite (clay montmorillonite) as a template for electrosynthesis of thyroxine
(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 ...
New Approach in Research Education to Solve Problems of Dryland Farming in Africa
(University of Nairobi., 1996)
For quite some time now, Africa has faced food shortages that are largely due to
deterioration of agricultural environments and high population growth rates, leading
to a combination of production pressures. The agricultural ...
Ultrasonic attenuation in Kenyan clay refractories
(1999)
Ultrasonic attenuation in clay refractories fabricated under different processing parameters has been measured. It was established that refractory clay samples with high compaction efficiencies (CE) were less attenuating ...
The Climate And Meteorology Of Nairobi Region, Kenya
(University of Nairobi., 1992-05)
The City of Nairobi is located at longitude 36 50' E mid 1 18' S. The mean altitude is around 1,700 meters above the
mean sea level but as the city has a highly variable topography, this height ranges from l,600m (to the ...
The reproductive biology of Thalamita crenata (Latreille) at Gazi Bay in Kenya
(1999)
The brachyuran crab Thalamita crenata (Latreille) occurring intertidally along the Kenyan coast was sampled at Gazi over a period of 12 months. The crabs were collected using scoopnets over a distance covering two kilometres ...
The chemotactic effect of Phlebotomus duboscqi (diptera: psychodidae) salivary gland lysates to murine monocytes
(University of Nairobi, 1995-10)
The possibility that salivary gland lysates of Phlebotomus duboscqi are able to attract vertebrate monocytes was investigated. In vitro studies showed that salivary gland lysates of P. duboscqi, the vector of Leishmania ...
Ethnomedicinal study of major species in the family Labiatae from Kenya
(University of Nairobi., 1993-08)
The family Labiatae, commonly called the mint family, is one of the flowering group of plants that has been found to have great medicinal potential. In this study, at least twenty-eight (28) indigenous species which are ...
Efficacy of alternating therapy with oxamniquine and praziquantel to treat Schistosoma mansoni in children following failure of first treatment.
(University of Nairobi,, 1991-05)
Two hundred children infected with Schistosoma mansoni were treated with either 20 mg/kg oxamniquine or 60 mg/kg praziquantel. Cure rates (about 85%) were similar as was the percentage reduction (80%) in egg counts in ...
