Bioactive Substances From Kenyan Ethno-medicinal Plants
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
Antimicrobial Activity Of Newtonia Hildebrandtii
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
Successive petroleum ether, dichloromethane and methanol extracts of Newtonia hildebrandtii stem bark were tested in vitro for their antifungal and antibacterial activity. The methanol extract was found to be the most ...
Properties of a factor in eland plasma that inhibits transformation of bloodstream-form Trypanosoma brucei brucei
(2001)
Fresh plasma from the African eland, Taurotragus oryx, contains a factor that inhibits the transformation of bloodstream-form Trypanosma brucei brucei into procyclic (midgut) forms. Heating of the plasma at 42, 50 and 60 ...
Physiological and molecular characterization of urea transport by the gills of the Lake Magadi tilapia
(2001)
The Lake Magadi tilapia (Alcolapia grahami) is an unusual fish, excreting all its nitrogenous waste as urea because of its highly alkaline and buffered aquatic habitat. Here, using both physiological and molecular studies, ...
The benthic macrofauna community of Kenyan waters of Lake Victoria
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 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. ...
Optimization of fuzzy evapotranspiration model through neural training with input-output examples
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
In a previous study, we demonstrated that fuzzy evapotranspiration (ET) models can achieve accurate estimation of daily ET comparable to the FAO Penman-Monteith equation, and showed the advantages of the fuzzy approach ...
