Characterization of body louse midgut proteins recognized by resistant hosts.
(1996)
The human body louse, Pediculus humanus, showed eighteen midgut proteins ranging between 12 and 117 kDa, when analysed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Seven of them (12 kDa, 17 kDa, 29 kDa, 35 kDa, 40 kDa, 55 kDa and 97 kDa) ...
Adsorption/Desorption and Mobility of Carbofuran in Soil Samples from Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1996-04)
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 ...
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 ...
Partition Geochemistry of Sediments From the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ), equitorial Atlantic
(1996)
A total of 62 sediment samples from 24 gravity and box cores obtained from
an equal number of stations in and around the Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ)
in the Equatorial Atlantic have been subjected to partition chemical ...
New Approach in Research Education to Solve Problems of Dryland Farming in Africa
(University of Nairobi., 1996)
For quite some time now, Africa has faced food shortages that are largely due to
deterioration of agricultural environments and high population growth rates, leading
to a combination of production pressures. The agricultural ...
Design and field testing Savonius wind pump in East Africa
(University of Nairobi, 1996-05)
We present here improvements in the wind-scoop geometry and efficiency of a doublestark
Savonius rotor, developed through a series of wind tunnel and field testing in East
Africa. On an aerodynamic performance basis, the ...
Geological evolution of coastal Kenya as inferred from sedimentary sequences and marines terraces
(1996)
Based on extensive field and literature surveys together with radiometric dating
evidence, the coastal geology of Kenya consists of the Karoo (Upper Carboniferous-Lower
Jurassic) to Recent sedimentary sequences with minor ...
