(2010)
Bulb extracts of Gladiolus dalenii reportedly used in the treatment of fungal infections in HIV/AIDS patients in the Lake Victoria region were tested for antifungal activity using the disc diffusion assay technique. ...
Utilization Of Synthetic And Botanical Insecticides To Manage Thrips (thysan.: Thrip.) On Snap Beans (fabaceae) In Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2010-01)
This field experiment was performed in Mwea–Tebere, Central Kenya, to evaluate and compare effectiveness of synthetic insecticides (Thiacloprid and chloropyrifos) and botanical insecticides (azadirachtin 0.15% A.I. and ...
Phosphorous as the limiting nutrient element for the eutrophication of Nairobi dam , Kenya
(2010)
Research work on Nairobi Dam, Kenya and its tributaries revealed Poor negative correlation between Phosphorous (Hydrolysable + PO43-) and NO3--Nitrogen, giving a regressionline of y =-0.2176x + 2.1471with R2= 0.1876 on ...
Effect of soil pH (Hydrogen and hydroxyl ions concentration) on the lifecycle of the Tunga penetrans.
(2010)
Soil pH is a measure of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions concentration in the soil. The
Tpenetrans off host stages inhabits soil during development thus soil pH is an
important abiotic factor. Laboratory analysis was carried ...
On multistage group screening designs
(2010)
In this article we discuss multistage group screening in which group-factors contain differing number of factors. We describe a procedure for grouping the factors in the absence of concrete prior information, so that the ...

Investigation of pollutants, determination of physico-chemical characteristics of the Nairobi river and remediation of some toxic heavy metals using fish bones
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
A Study was conducted to determine the level of pollution in the Nairobi River. The study covered four
sampling sites located along the river, stretching from upstream at Ondiri swamp then moving to

Electrochemical Characterization of Myoglobin-Polylysine Films at a Temperature Range of 6–808C
(Wiley, 2010)
This work demonstrated for the first time that myoglobin cross-linked in polylysine films is electrochemically active at
68C. At 68C, these protein films exhibited reversible reduction/oxidation peaks which are characteristic ...
High resolution mapping of trypanosomosis resistance loci Tir2 and Tir3 using F12 advanced intercross lines with major locus Tir1 fixed for the susceptible allele
(University Of Nairobi, 2010)
Background
Trypanosomosis is the most economically important disease constraint to livestock productivity in Africa. A number of trypanotolerant cattle breeds are found in West Africa, and identification of the genes ...
Phenology of Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh. in a Disjunctly-zoned Mangrove Stand in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
Avicennia marina in Gazi Bay, Kenya, displays a disjunct zonation pattern across the intertidal zone with a seaward and a landward A. marina fringe. Earlier studies revealed significant differences in its vegetation ...
