Improving Food Production by Understanding the effects of intercropping and plant population on soybean nitrogen fixing attributes
(2001)
This paper quantifies the effects of population density and intercropping on the development and growth of nitrogen fixing attributes of soybean and explains how these attributes influence food through yielding process. ...
Some aspect of logical way of studying dinitrogen fixation in an agroforestry context for improving food production
(2001)
Dinitrogen fixation in an agroforestry context requires a careful approach which initially require derivation of the methods to be used and careful selection of the priorities of factors which influence the process. Nitrogen ...
Surface compounds of psiadia punctulata
(2001)
The genus Psiadia (Compositae) is represented by 60 species and is found south of Tropical Africa, Madagascar and Tropical Asia (1). Very limited phytochemical information is available
in this genus. However, this has ...
Insecticidal activity of extracts derived from different parts of the mangrove tree rhizophora mucronata (rhizophoraceae) lam. Against three arthropods
(2001)
The insecticidal and antifeedant activity of extracts derived from different parts of the
mangrove tree Rhizophora mucronata (Rhizophoraceae) Lam. is reported. The 70% ethanol extracts
of leaves, bark, stem wood and pith ...
Inter cropping and population density effects on yield component, seed quality and photosynthesis of sorgum and soybean
(2001)
Population density and intercropping of sorghum (sorghum bicolour (L) and Soybean {Glycine max Merril (L)}
may alter their growth and yield patterns through responses to light and physiological attributes as compared to ...
Status of organochlorine (DDT) pollutants and steps toward electrocatalytic reductions
(University of Nairobi, 2001)
The accumulation of DDT in the environment over the years is a major concern in the world today. The extent to which DDT may be absorbed and translocated from 14C-p,p¢-DDT contaminated soils into cowpea plant tissues, and ...
Land-snail faunas of afromontane forests of Mount Kenya, Kenya: ecology, diversity and distribution patterns
(University of Nairobi, 2001-06)
Aims
To (1) describe the distribution patterns of land-snails occurring in afromontane forest habitats on Mount Kenya, in relation to elevation and aspect; (2) explore the relations between the land-snail faunas and ...

Solid-phase peptide synthesis of isotocin with amide of asparagine protected with 1-tetralinyl. Rifluoromethanesulphonic acid (tfmsa) deprotection, cleavage and air oxidation of mercapto groups to disulphide
(2001)
Isotocin, a nonapept ide amide, was synthesised on a benzhydryl-resin using the Bocst
rat egy. Benzyl group was used in the pr otect ion of the side-ch ains of tyrosine, ser ine and cyst eine.
Tetr alinyl group was used ...
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 ...
