Temporal synthesis of cuticle proteins during larval development in Glossina morsitans
(1993)
Larval development in Glossina species occurs in utero with the mature third instar larva being deposited after a developmental period of 7 days. 2. In this study, the patterns of cuticular protein synthesis during larval ...
Thermal fatigue behaviour of a Kenyan kaolinite clay
(1999)
The thermal fatigue resistance for a Kaolinite clay-based refractory used for then1lfl1 insulation
in local (Kenyan) firewood cooking stoves has been studied by subjecting them to a water quench
to predict their values ...
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 Tsetse DNA Virus Infection on the Functions of the Male Accessory Reproductive Gland in the Host Fly Glossina morsitans centralis (Diptera; Glossinidae)
(University of Nairobi,, 1999)
Freshly deposited third instar Glossina morsitans centralis larvae were infected with the tsetse DNA virus by microinjection, and at emergence adult males were separated from the females and fed on rabbit blood every second ...
Reduced susceptibility of Anopheles gambiae to permethrin associated with the use of permethrin-impregnated bednets and curtains in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1994)
Susceptibility of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae to permethrin decreased following the installation of mosquito nets impregnated with 0.5 g permethrin per square metre in four villages near Kisumu, Kenya. During the ...
Moving cheaply: energetics of walking in the african elephant
(1995)
Large animals have a much better fuel economy than
small ones, both when they rest and when they run. At rest,
each gram of tissue of the largest land animal, the African
elephant, consumes metabolic energy at 1/20 the ...
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 ...
An investigation of a possible dependence of brewer number 67's total-ozone measurements on some atmospheric parameters, together with a presentation of a peculiar synoptic ozone case at Rome
(1995)
Brewer total ozone data (January–December 1992) measured at the Physics Department, Rome University «La Sapienza» (41.9° North, 12.5° East) are analysed for dependence on Brewer internal temperature and some meteorological ...
Beta-2 microglobulin as a marker of HIV disease status in Nairobi, Kenya.
(1993)
Serum beta-2 microglobulin (beta 2-M) has prognostic value similar to lymphocyte profiles for predicting disease progression in those infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, the relationship between ...
