Information Needs of Inventory Programmes
(1996)
In this paper the particular perspective is taken of the information needs of an individual scientist challenged with the practical task of conducting a national or local inventory of a prioritized group. This is done by ...
Some Observations on the Biting Behavior ofAnopheles gambiae s.s, Anopheles arabiensis, andAnopheles funestusand Their Implications for Malaria Control
(1996)
Studies were carried out in three villages in western Kenya on the biting behavior ofAnopheles gambiae s.s., Anopheles arabiensis,andAnopheles funestus.Blood feeding behavior and departure from houses were studied under ...
Quantum well shaping for reduced threshold current in strained layer lasers
(University of Nairobi, 1996)
Four isoflavones from seed pods of Millettia dura
(University of Nairobi, 1996-02)
Seed pods of Millettia dura yielded four novel isoflavones, which have been characterized as 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-methoxy-8,8-dimethyl-4H,8H-benzo[1,2-b: 3,4-b′]dipyran-4-one (trivial name, durallone), 6-demethyldurallone, ...
Sensitivity Of Kenyan Ecosystems To Acidic Deposition: Validation Of The 1996 SEI Map
(1996)
Kenya is a land of contrasts, having a variety of ecological and climatic zones, and many soil types of different characteristics and composition. In view of the adequate data available, the sensitivity of Kenyan ecosystems ...
Isolation and Characterization of Polymeric and Particulates of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) Plastics by Thermal FFF.
(1996)
Thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF) is shown here to be capable of isolating the polymeric and rubber particulate components of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) plastic in a simple analytical procedure. To ...
Charge-state trapping at a conducting polymer-redox ion-exchanger interface - a bilayer electrode
(Elsevier, 1996-02)
The results presented in this paper highlight the use of Amberlite, a commercial cation-exchange resin as a material for electrode modification.
We also show that when a redox centre is attached to the cation-exchange ...
Effective thermal conductivity of loose particulate systems
(1996)
The effective thermal conductivity for several loose particulate insulation systems has been measured in the temperature range from 273 K–900 K and the results compared to those predicted from three different models. The ...
Prospects for biological control of livestock ticks, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Amblyomma variegatum, using the entomogenous fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae
(University of Nairobi., 1996-01)
Both Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae induced approximately 30% mortalities in adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus feeding on rabbits while M. anisopliae induced a mortality of 37% in adult Amblyomma variegatum. ...
