A Simplified Formalism for Computing Growth Rates for Perturbations in Standard Cosmology
(2015)
We present a simplified formalism for computing growth rates for perturbations within standard
cosmology. We show that converting the perturbation evolution equations into ordinary differen1ia1
equations in terms of ...
Lignocellulolytic Activities Of Crude Gut Extracts Of Marine Woodborers Dicyathifer Mannii And Sphaeroma Terebrans
(University of Nairobi, 2006)
Marine woodborers
have a close association with tropical mangrove plants whereby they
voraciously
consume
lignocellulose and play a role in nutrient cycling. T
hey represent a rich source of potential lignocellulo

Distribution of repetitive DNA sequences in Vicia faba chromosomes
(University of Nairobi,, 1980)
In situ hybridization of labelled complementary RNA transcribed from whole DNA to metaphase chromosomes indicates the presence of repetitive DNA in both euchromatin and heterochromatin of the Vicia faba genome.
The silver cyprinid Rastrineobola argentea as the main diet source for rearing Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Background & objectives: All organisms that are cultured for laboratory bioassays need food for sustenance and amplification of the colony to such numbers that would not compromise the progress of the research at hand. For ...
Antioxidant activities in extracts of selected indigenous vegetables from Kenya and Malawi
(University of Nairobi, 2014-03)
Antioxidant activities and phytochemical compounds of ethanol and hot water extracts of 7 selected indigenous vegetable species from Malawi and Kenya were Spectophotometrically determined and evaluated. Their effectiveness ...
Functional Proportions Of Primate Lumbar Vertebral Bodies
(University of Nairobi, 1975-01)
The comparison of certain proportions of lumbar vertebral bodies and of the lumbar column as a whole between a range of primate and non-primate mammals suggests that the relatively high robusticity of the lumbar column in ...
Costs Of Reproduction In A Long-lived Female Primate: Injury Risk And Wound Healing.
(University of Nairobi, 2014-07)
Reproduction is a notoriously costly phase of life, exposing individuals to injury, infectious disease, and energetic tradeoffs. The strength of these costs should be influenced by life history strategies, and in long-lived ...
Plant Dispersal by Hares (Lepus Capensis L.) in Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 1970)
Of 369 hares examined, 160 had a total of 810 disseminules of 17 plant species in
their fur. The six commonest plants were Tragus berteronianus, Achyranthes aspera, Pupalia
lappacea, Boerhavia repense, Harpachne schimperi, ...
Surface Modified Electrode Used In the Electro - Analysis of N - Acetyl P - Aminophenol - A Pharmaceutical Drug
(University of Nairobi, 2014-05)
Using spectral subspaces to improve infrared spectroscopy prediction of soil properties
(2015)
We propose a method for improving soil property predictions using local calibration models trained on datasets
in spectral subspaces rather that in a global space. Previous studies have shown that local calibrations based ...
