Comparison of two microdiffusion methods used to measure ionizable fluoride in cows' milk.
(University of Nairobi, 1995-08)
Two microdiffusion methods for measuring ionizable fluoride in cows' milk have been compared. The comparison includes diffusion time, amount of fluoride in spiked and unspiked milk samples and the effect of aluminium as ...
Moving cheaply: energetics of walking in the african elephant
(1995)
Large animals have a much better fuel economy than
small ones, both when they rest and when they run. At rest,
each gram of tissue of the largest land animal, the African
elephant, consumes metabolic energy at 1/20 the ...
An investigation of a possible dependence of brewer number 67's total-ozone measurements on some atmospheric parameters, together with a presentation of a peculiar synoptic ozone case at Rome
(1995)
Brewer total ozone data (January–December 1992) measured at the Physics Department, Rome University «La Sapienza» (41.9° North, 12.5° East) are analysed for dependence on Brewer internal temperature and some meteorological ...
Effects of soil origin and mineral composition and herbage species on the mineral composition of forages in the Mount Elgon region of Kenya
(1995)
Samples of topsoil and herbage from 135 sites in the Mt Elgon region of Kenya were classified according to farm, site altitude, underlying soil bedrock (6 types) and botanical composition (6 classes). Effects of altitude, ...
17. Evaluation of Immune Associated Cells in Lesions of L. Major Infected Vervet Monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops)
(1995)
Vervet monkeys were used to characterize immune associated cell types recruited into lesion sites as a result of experimental primary and secondary infections with Leishmania major. A heavy cellular infiltration consisting ...

Delineation of Uganda into climatological rainfall zones using the method of principal component analysis
(1995)
This paper attempts to delineate Uganda into climatological rainfall zones using the method of principal component analysis (PCA). Monthly rainfall records from 102 Uganda rain-gauge stations for the years 1940–1975 inclusive ...
Potent Antimalarial Activity of the Alkaloid Nitidine, Isolated from a Kenyan Herbal Remedy
(1995)
Bioassay-guided fractionation of extracts of Toddalia asiatica, a plant used by the Pokot tribe of Kenya to
treat fevers, has yielded the alkaloid nitidine as the major antimalarial component. Fractions containing
nitidine ...
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 ...
