Instrument-based distortions of leaf/air temperature differences and interpretations of bean drought stress resistance
(1988)
The adaxial leaf temperatures of 3 cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris and 1 cultivar of Tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) were measured from 0600 to 1800 hours. 2 instruments having different measurement principles were ...
Mycotoxin problem in Africa: Current status, implications to food safety and health and possible management strategies
(2008)
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of fungal origin and contaminate agricultural commodities before or under post-harvest conditions. They are mainly produced by fungi in the Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium ...
Levels of toxic metals in multisectoral samples from Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria.
(2009)
In this study, the distribution and sources of inputs of trace metals including Cd, Cu, Zn and Pb from various sources as well as Fe which is widely used in the construction industry, into Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria were ...
Antimicrobial and antiparasitic abietane diterpenoids from the roots of Clerodendrum eriophyllum
(University of Nairobi, 2010-06)
Chromatographic separation of the roots of a Kenyan medicinal plant, Clerodendrum eriophyllum, led to the isolation of ten abietane diterpenoids (1-10), one of which (1) was isolated for the first time from a natural source. ...
Linkage disequilibrium between alleles at highly polymorphic mini- and micro-satellite loci of Theileria parva isolated from cattle in three regions of Kenya
(2006)
Theileria parva schizont-infected lymphocyte culture isolates from western, central and coastal Kenya were analysed for size polymorphism at 30 T. parva-specific variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci using a panel of ...
Antiplasmodial activity of compounds from the surface exudates of Senecio roseiflorus
(University of Nairobi, 2013-02)
From the surface exudates of Senecio roseiflorus fourteen known methylated flavonoids and one phenol were isolated and characterized. The structures of these compounds were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic ...
In vivo screening of antimalarial activity of Acacia mellifera (Benth) (Leguminosae) on Plasmodium berghei in mice.
(2007)
The activities of total extracts and lupane triterpenes, isolated from the stem bark of Acacia mellifera, were evaluated against Plasmodium berghei strain ANKA in a female Swiss mouse model. Five isolated compounds and the ...
Mortality Projection: Curve Fitting And Linear Regression
(2011)
This study was aimed at predicting future mortality rates given two main scenarios. The first is in the
case where there is a body of mortality tables from the past and the second is in the case where such a
database ...
Prognostic relevance of integrated genetic profiling in acute myeloid leukemia
(2012)
BACKGROUND:
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with respect to presentation and clinical outcome. The prognostic value of recently identified somatic mutations has not been systematically evaluated ...
Acute myeloid leukemia with translocation t(8;16) presents with features which mimic acute promyelocytic leukemia and is associated with poor prognosis
(2013)
Previous small series have suggested that acute myeloid leukemia with t(8;16) is a distinct morphologic and clinical entity associated with poor prognosis. We describe 18 patients with t(8;16) AML, including their clinical, ...
