Utilization Of Synthetic And Botanical Insecticides To Manage Thrips (thysan.: Thrip.) On Snap Beans (fabaceae) In Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2010-01)
This field experiment was performed in Mwea–Tebere, Central Kenya, to evaluate and compare effectiveness of synthetic insecticides (Thiacloprid and chloropyrifos) and botanical insecticides (azadirachtin 0.15% A.I. and ...
Human Evolution and Migration in a Variable Environment: The Amplifier Lakes of East Africa
(2013-06-23)
The development of the Cenozoic East African Rift System (EARS) profoundly re-shaped the landscape and significantly increased the amplitude of short-term environmental response to climate variation. In particular, the ...
Quasi-periodic patterns in the East African rainfall records
(1982)
In this study East African rainfall records within the period 1922-80 were
subjected to spectral analysis in order to examine whether the
fluctuations in rainfall during 1922-80 exhibited any periodic or quasi-periodic ...
Enhanced electro-detection of ascorbic acid in Adansonia digitata fruit by use of surface modified electrodes
(2001)
Surface modified electrodes have been used to study the seed of A. digitata. The results show the ascorbic acid redox peak is greatly enhanced and the oxidation/reduction peaks coincide with those of the corresponding ...
An investigation of the transport and dispersion of atmospheric pollutants over east Africa during the Ol doinyo lengai volcanic eruption in July 2007 and march 2008
(2012)
Explosive volcanic eruptions affect climate by injecting gases and aerosol particles into the troposphere and stratosphere. Only if the eruption cloud is rich in SO2 will the eruption produce a long-lived aerosol cloud, ...
Our universe: a physics Perspective on its structure and Destiny
(2011)
One of the greatest strengths of the human
consciousness is the ability to conjure up plausible
concepts, models and logical schemes on the
relational unity of our reality. This is achieved on
the basis of innate ...
The characteristics of wet spells in Tanzania
(1982)
In Tanzania where the bulk of economy depends largely on rain-fed agriculture, the
study of daily rainfall patterns is of paramount importance. It is well known that wet or dry
spells lasting for long duration may impose ...
Real Exchange Rate Volatility in Kenya
(2012)
This paper examines Real Exchange Rate (RER) volatility in Kenya by using Generalized Autoregressive
Condition of Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) and computation of the unconditional standard deviation of the
changes for the ...
Essentiality of a newly identified carbohydrate-binding module for the function of CelB (BH0603) from the Alkaliphilic Bacterium Bacillus halodurans
(2006-10)
CelB (BH0603) from Bacillus halodurans is a modular glycoside hydrolase with a family 5 catalytic module, an immunoglobulin-like module, and module PfamB of unknown function. The recombinant PfamB module bound to Avicel ...
