The structure, morphometry and vascular perfusion of the testis in the rufous sengi (Elephantulus rufescens)
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Introduction and Materials and Methods
: Sengis are testicondid, monogamous afrotherian mammals.
The testes, pattern of testicular blood vessels and anatomical disposition of caudal vena cava were examined
macroscopically ...
PRIDB: a protein–RNA interface database
(2011)
The Protein–RNA Interface Database (PRIDB) is a comprehensive database of protein–RNA interfaces extracted from complexes in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). It is designed to facilitate detailed analyses of individual protein–RNA ...
Immunological Responses of Mice After Treatment with Ocimum Americanum Hexane and Bridelia Micrantha Water Plant Extracts
(2014)
Background-The T helper 1 (TH1) and TH2 dichotomy was first shown in murine CD4+ lymphocytes clones
and these cells could be differentiated in terms of the cytokines they secrete. The TH1 subsets produce
interleukin 2 ...
Initial Correlations Among The Levels Of Various Nutrient Species In Water From Nairobi Dam, Kenya
(2011)
Research work on Nairobi Dam, Kenya, and its tributaries has revealed that during the first trial
sampling period, the R2 value, i.e., the square of linear regression correlation coefficient was poor
between the nutrients: ...
Indigenous Knowledge of Climatic Conditions for Sustainable Crop Production under Resource-Poor Farming Conditions Using Participatory Techniques
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Rambuda irrigation scheme is situated in Vhembe District of Limpopo Province in South Africa. It was
established in 1952 and farmers do not have access to recorded climatic information. Farmers are growing crops
on a ...
Anthraquinones of the roots of Pentas micrantha
(2013)
Pentas micrantha is used in the East African indigenous medicine to treat malaria. In the first investigation of this plant, the crude methanol root extract showed moderate antiplasmodial activity against the W2- (3.37 ...
Mortalities induced by entomopathogenic fungus
(University of Nairobi., 2011-05)
The objective of this study was to compare the infectivity of Metarhizium anisopliae at a
concentration of 1 × 108 conidia/ml to developmental stages of Amblyomma variegatum,
Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Rhipicephalus ...
The Negative Binomial Parameter K As A Measure Of Dispersion
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
The role of the negative binomial parameter k and index of patchiness as measures of dispersion in relation to random removal of individuals are discussed. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate analytically that the ...
An exploratory survey of malaria prevalence and people's knowledge, attitudes and practices of mosquito larval source management for malaria control in western Kenya
(2010)
A large proportion of mosquito larval habitats in urban and rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa are man-made. Therefore, community-based larval source management (LSM) could make a significant contribution to malaria ...
Changes in plant growth, nutrient dynamics and accumulation of flavonoids and anthocyanins by manipulating the cropping systems involving legumes and cereals- a review
(2011)
Improved crop production is very important in Africa, especially in such time when food required exceeds food produced. However,
improved yield is constrained by a number of biophysical factors including poor planting ...
