Enso signals in East African rainfall seasons
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2000)
The evolutions of ENSO modes in the seasonal rainfall patterns over East Africa are examined in this study. The
udy covers the period 1961-1990. Both rotated empirical orthogonal function (EOF) and simple correlation

Antifeedant Activities of the Erythrinaline Alkaloids from Erythrina latissima against Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera noctuidae)
(2009)
The antifeedant activities of the Erythrina alkaloids from the seeds, seed pods and flowers of
Erythrina latissima were investigated in laboratory dual- choice bioassays using third-instar Spodoptera littoralis
(Boisduval) ...
The petrology of the Chyulu Hills volcanic province, southern Kenya
(University of Nairobi., 2000)
The Quaternary Chyulu Hills Volcanic Province is located more than 100 km east of the Kenya Rift Valley. It consists of a large number of free-standing and coalesced volcanoes and cinder cones and numerous lava flows ranging ...
The reproductive activity of the pearl oyster Pinctada imbricata Röding 1798 (Pteriidae) in Gazi Bay, Kenya
(2006)
This paper describes the reproductive activity of the pearl oyster Pinctada imbricata Röding 1798 in two adjacent areas in Gazi Bay, Kenya, exposed to different tidal current velocity. The annual mean temperature, salinity, ...
Practical implications of ionic strength effects on particle retention in thermal field-flow fractionation
(2003-01)
Modification of ionic strength of an aqueous or non-aqueous carrier solution can have profound effects on the particle retention behavior in thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF). These effects can be considered as ...
Antifungal Activity of Crude Extracts Of Selected Medicinal Plants Used In Combinations In Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2009)
Use of herbs as combinations is a common practice with many herbal practitioners. The main idea behind this usually is the synergistic action expected to take place by the traditional healer hence being able to give better ...
Electrodeposition of polyaniline on acidified clay montmorillonite modified electrode
(2000)
In this paper, we have presented results obtained on derivatization of the working electrode surface with clay montmorillonites treated with varying amounts of acid. The resultant changes in the population of Bronsted and ...
Quantitative aspects of inorganic nutrient fluxes in the Gazi Bay (Kenya): implications for coastal ecosystems
(2002-11)
Fluxes of dissolved inorganic nutrients: NHþ 4 , NO_ 2 , NO_3 , PO3_4 and Si(OH)4 from nearshore sediments of Gazi Bay were measured in situ within mangrove, seagrass and coral reef biotopes using benthic flux bell-jar ...
Leaf storage conditions and genomic DNA isolation efficiency in Ocimum gratissimum L. from Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2008)
Storage of plant tissues for DNA is important to avoid degradation of DNA. Preliminary studies were conducted on Ocimum gratissimum L. in order to establish the storage conditions for the collected samples before DNA ...
Thermal conductivity of a kaolinite refractory: effect of a plant-derived organic binder
(2003)
The effect of corchorus olitorius derived binder on the effective thermal conductivity of a
kaolinite-based refractory was investigated. Strong dependence of (effective) thermal
conductivity of fired samples on the binder ...
