Determination of sphingosine kinase 2 activity using fluorescent sphingosine by capillary electrophoresis
(2011)
The study of sphingosine and sphingosine-1-phosphate is now widespread due to their immense role as intra- and extracellular messenger molecules. The balance and interplay of these ceramide metabolites is dependent on the ...
Natural Products from Plant Diversity and their Potential in Management of Neglected Diseases
(2011)
Conventionally, neglected diseases are considered as a group of 13 infectious diseases that are
. endemic in the low income populations in the tropical developing world. They can be classified
as those caused by trypanosomal ...
Effects of integrated soil fertility management interventions on the abundance and diversity of soil collembola in Embu and Taita Districts, Kenya
(2011)
The study aimed at identifying soil fertility management practices that promote the Collembola population, diversity and survival in the soil. Soil samples were randomly collected from on farm plots amended with: 1-Mavuno ...
Inhibition of c-Kit, VEGFR-2 (KDR), and ABCG2 by analogues of OSI-930
(2011)
The quinoline domain of OSI-930, a dual inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) c-Kit and KDR, was modified in an effort to further understand the SAR of OSI-930, and the binding site characteristics of c-Kit and ...
Synthesis and characterization of redox-active Complexes of molybdenum(ll) nitrosyl linked to pfunctionalized Iron(iii)-schiff bases
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
Characterization of heterobinuclear complexes containing molybdenum(II) nitrosyl metal fragment, Mo(NO)Tp'Cl;
r,' = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl) borate linked to p-functionalized Fe(Salen)Cl; by IR, UV, MS and elemental
analysis ...
Pre-selection of markers for genomic selection.
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
BACKGROUND:
Accurate prediction of genomic breeding values (GEBVs) requires numerous markers. However, predictive accuracy can be enhanced by excluding markers with no effects or with inconsistent effects among crosses ...
Estimation of climatic parameters from solar indices using ground based data from Kenya, East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 2011)
The daily meteorological data of relative humidity, maximum, minimum, and average temperatures obtained from five stations of the Kenya Meteorological Department over the period 1986 to 2005 were filtered and reduced to ...
