Voltammetric Studies of the Reactions of Imidazolidine Nitroxyl Free Radical with Vanadium Pentoxide, Chromium (III) Acetate and Manganese (III) Acetylacetonate
(1998)
This work demonstrated the synthesis and voltammetric studies of imidazolidine nitroxyl free radical (LH) complexes of chromium, manganese and vanadium. Half-wave potentials of solutions containing the three metal-LH as ...
The Effects of a DNA Virus Infection on the Reproductive Potential of Female Tsetse Flies, Glossina morsitans centralis and Glossina morsitans morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae)
(University of Nairobi, 1998)
Reproductive anomalies associated with the tsetse DNA virus infection in the female tsetse hosts, Glossina morsitans centralis Machado and Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood, inoculated with the virus during the 3rd ...
Sp1 sites mediate activation of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 promoter by glucose in vascular smooth muscle cells.
(University of Nairobi, 1998)
This study was designed to characterize the direct effects of hyperglycemia on plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells. Glucose induced dose- and time-dependent increases ...
APPLICATION OF TETRALINYLS AS CARBOXAMIDE PROTECTING GROUPS IN PEPTIDE SYNTHESIS
(1998)
. I-Tetralinylamines were used as precursors to prepare the carboxamide protected derivatives of asparagine (lb-5b) and glutamine (la-Sa). The carboxamide protected derivatives were then subjected to cleavage studies in ...
Exploring Below Ground Complementarity In Agroforestry Using Sap Flow And Root Fractal Techniques
(University of Nairobi, 1998-11)
Indices of shallow rootedness and fractal methods of root system study were combined with sapflow monitoring to determine whether these ‘short-cut’ methods could be used to predict tree competition with crops and complementarity ...
Spatial and Inter Annual Patterns of the Surface Temperatures Over East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1998)
In this study inter-annual patterns of the surface temperature are investigated in order to determine the major climatic fluctuations within the period 1943-1983. The spatial similarities in the observed fluctuation pattern ...
Vector competence of 7 rhipicephalid tick stocks in transmitting 2 Theileria parva parasite stocks from Kenya and Zimbabwe
(1998)
The competence of 7 different stocks of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and R. zambeziensis to transmit 2 different stocks of Theileria parva was compared by feeding nymphae of each tick stock simultaneously on infected cattle ...
Development, reproductive capacity and survival of Amblyomma variegatum and Boophilus decoloratus in relation to host resistance and climatic factors under field conditions
(University of Nairobi., 1998-02)
To determine the developmental periods, fecundity and survival of Amblyomma variegatum and Boophilus decoloratus and the effect of host resistance, a study was carried out in the field at Abernossa ranch in Ethiopia using ...
