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 ...
Variation in aggressiveness of Phaeoisariopsis griseola and angular leaf spot development in common bean
(2007)
Aggressiveness of fifteen isolates of Phaeoisariopsis griseola and variations in angular leaf spot symptom
development in common bean were studied. The isolates were selected based on their virulence and genetic
differences ...
Proline synthesis in the fat body of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans, and its stimulation by isocitrate
(University of Nairobi, 1988)
The in vitro synthesis of proline from glutamate was followed in fat body homogenates from the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans. Rates of synthesis were much higher in freeze-thawed or sonicated homogenate than in untreated ...
Effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) and temperature on seed germination of Rauvolfia serpentina
(1970)
GA was applied at 250, 500, 750 or 1000 mg/l. The 500-mg level in the laboratory increased germination from 5 (control) to 45.2%, and survival from 2 to 25.7%. Under field conditions the comparable figures for germination ...
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: ...
Response of Amblyseius cydnodactylon ( Phytoseiidae) to increasing prey density of Tetranychus urticae ( Tetranychidae) in absence or presence of nymphs of Bemisia tabaci ( Homoptera) in Egypt.
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
The predacious mite, Amblyseius cydnodactylon Shehata & Zaher (Phytoseiidae) is a common natural enemy inhabiting low growing plants like cucumber in Egypt. It has been recorded associated with infestations of the two-spotted ...
Simulation of nitrate distribution under drip irrigation using artificial neural networks
(University of Nairobi, 2004-04)
Accurate knowledge of nitrate distribution in the soil under fertigation through drip-irrigation systems is fundamentally important for system design and management. The determination of nitrate distribution through modeling ...
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 ...
ASCUS in screening
(2001)
The significance and use of the cytological diagnosis "atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance" (ASCUS) remain a major problem in cervical cancer screening. The prevalence of ASCUS by patient age has seldom ...
