Instrument-based distortions of leaf/air temperature differences and interpretations of bean drought stress resistance
(1988)
The adaxial leaf temperatures of 3 cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris and 1 cultivar of Tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) were measured from 0600 to 1800 hours. 2 instruments having different measurement principles were ...
Teleconnection between Seasonal Rainfall over East Africa and Global Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies
(1988)
In this study, global sea surface temperature anomalies within ±300 latitudes of the equator were
correlated with the time series of the major rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) modes of
the seasonal rainfall ...
Annotated Bibliography On Irrigation And Drainage In Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 1988)
This annotated bibliography lists 642 works (with abstracts) on irrigation and drainage in Kenya, from 1970-1988. A geographical and a subject index are included.
Differences in daily life between semiprovisioned and wild-feeding baboons.
(University of Nairobi, 1988)
Activity budgets and social aspects of feeding, among the adult females in
a group of semiprovisioned baboons that fed from a garbage dump were
compared with those of adjacent wild-feeding groups in Amboseli National
Park, ...
Growth, Development and Life Cycle of Icerya pattersoni (Newstead) (Homoptera: Margarodidae), a Coffee Pest in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1988-02)
Experiments carried out in a coffee plantation to determine the developmental period of Icerya paltersoni (Newst.) showed that the female and male scales lasted 157 and 129 days on average, respectively. The different ...
Alkaloids of Teclea nobilis
(University of Nairobi, 1988)
A new furoquinoline alkaloid to which we have assigned the trivial name nobiline, and seven other quinonline alkaloids were isolated and identified from the leaves and fruits of Teclea nobilis, an African medicinal plant.
Proline synthesis in the fat body of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans, and its stimulation by isocitrate
(University of Nairobi, 1988)
The in vitro synthesis of proline from glutamate was followed in fat body homogenates from the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans. Rates of synthesis were much higher in freeze-thawed or sonicated homogenate than in untreated ...
Studies of the temperature dependence of retention in supercritical fluid Chromatography
(1988)
The capacity factors for the chromatographic retention of naphthalene,
fluorene, phenanthrene and pyrene in supercritical carbon dioxide using an
octadecyl silate bonded-phase column have been measured between 300 and
400 ...
