Investigating The Influence Of Synoptic-scale Monsoonal Winds And Mesoscale Circulations On Diurnal Weather Patterns Over Kenya Using A Mesoscale Numerical Model
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
The Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) developed at Colorado State University (CSU) was used to investigate the influence of the large-scale monsoonal winds and the mesoscale local circulations on the diurnal ...
Localization of immunogenic antigens on midgut of the human body louse Pediculus humanus humanus (Anoplura: Pediculidae)
(1996)
Immunogenic midgut antigens of the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus L., were localized using rabbit antisera against a louse-midgut extract followed by a 2nd antibody conjugated to either fluorescein or colloidal ...
Monitoring the Effects of Inclusions in Model Glass Systems Using Acousto-Ultrasonic Techniques
(1996)
The feasibility of employing acousto-ultrasonic techniques for monitoring the effects of inclusions in ceramics has been studied using model glass matrix composites. Two brittle inclusions, namely alumina and silicon ...
Anti-fertility effects of oral medroxyprogesterone acetate in rabbits
(1996)
Studies on the anti-fertility effects of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) were conducted in rabbits. The bioavailability of MPA and plasma concentrations of progesterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) after mating were ...
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 ...
In vitro carbohydrate digestibility tests in the Indian white shrimp, Penaeus indicus
(1996)
Paper chromatography was used to determine the capacity of wild Penaeus indicus digestive gland homogenates to hydrolyse 27 carbohydrates containing a variety of bond types. Whereas all α-1 → 4 and α-1 → 1 bond oligosaccharides ...
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 ...
Comparison of resistance in three breeds of cattle against African ixodid ticks.
(University of Nairobi., 1996-04)
Tick resistance in three breeds of cattle, two indigenous breeds (Arssi and Boran) and one Boran x Friesian cross-bread, were compared following natural tick infestations at Abernossa ranch in Ethiopia. The local Arssi ...
