Mixed model analysis for the estimation of components of genetic variation in lamb weaning weight
(2011)
This case study continues the analysis of differences in weaning weight between indigenous
genotypes of sheep which was started in Case Study 3. In the previous case study a model
containing fixed effects for lamb genotype, ...
Observing Changes in Riparian Buffer Strip Soil Properties Related to Land Use Activities in the River Njoro Watershed, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
Riparian buffer strip guidelines are under scrutiny in the River Njoro Watershed in Kenya. This study investigated soil properties (bulk density, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) in different land use types (small scale ...
Improved seedling emergence and growth of maize and beans by Trichoderma harziunum
(2011)
An indigenous strain of Trichoderma spp. was tested for its ability to promote seed germination and growth of maize and bean seedlings grown in the field at Embu District, Kenya. The trial was carried out for three seasons ...
Inoculation of tomato seedlings with Trichoderma Harzianum and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and their effect on growth and control of wilt in tomato seedlings
(2011)
A green house study was conducted to investigate the ability of an isolate of Trichoderma harzianum (P52) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in enhancing growth and control of a wilt pathogen caused by Fusarium oxysporum ...
Recombinant Rhipicephalus appendiculatus gut (Ra86) and salivary gland cement (Trp64) proteins as candidate antigens for inclusion in tick vaccines: protective effects of Ra86 on infestation with adult R. appendiculatus
(2011)
Rhipicephalus appendiculatus gut protein Ra86 (variants Ra85A and Ra92A)
and the salivary gland cement protein (Trp64) were expressed in the baculovirus-insect cell
system. The recombinant gut proteins expressed as soluble ...
Mathematical model for detecting diabetes in the Blood
(University of Nairobi,, 2011)
This study presents a new mathematical model for Blood Glucose Regulatory System(BGRS) which includes epinephrine as a third variable in the form, Y = AY, and whose solution has been analyzed fur equilibrium and stability ...
Broad neutralization coverage of HIV by multiple highly potent antibodies.
(Macmillan Publishers, 2011)
Broadly neutralizing antibodies against highly variable viral pathogens are much sought after to treat or protect against global circulating viruses. Here we probed the neutralizing antibody repertoires of four human ...
