The ecology of ciliated protozoa in an alkaline-saline lake, lake Nakuru, Kenya
(1995)
Abundance, biomass and production of planktonic ciliates in Lake Nakuru were
estimated between June, 1993 to January, 1994. Lake Nakuru had high abundances of
a cyanobacterium (Spirulina platensisy, flagellates, algae ...
Characterization of Casein Kinase II of trypanosoma (nannomonas) Congolense
(1993)
Casein kinase II from Trypanosoma congolense has been partially purified by
chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and heparin-agarose and this subunit exhibits
protein kinase activity with casein as the substrate. The enzyme ...
Mycorrhizal fungi associated with Kenyan terrestrial orchids and their role in orchid seed germination
(1997)
Terrestrial orchids are threatened with extinction due to loss of their habitat. This has
created awareness towards their in situ and ex situ conservation. Orchids form mycorrhizal
association and their seeds rely on ...
The biology and use of the cactus (Opuntia exaltata) as a game defense barrier
(University of Nairobi, 1994)
Human-wildlife conflicts result as a competition for resources between man and wildlife.
This thesis describes the use of traditional and conventional game barriers in managing
wildlife populations and the use ofcholla ...
Fecundity and reproductive output in the Brachyuran crabs Scylla serrata (forskal, 1755) and thalamita crenata (H. Milne Edwards, 1834) at the Kenya Coast
(University of Nairobi, 1993)
Scylla serrata (Forskal) was sampled at
Kiwambale using madema traps while Thalamita crenata
(H. Milne Edwards) was sampled at Gazi using a scoop
net. The objectives of the study in both crabs were:
i) To determine the ...
Investigating into the effect of ph on the availability of trace elements in soil
(University of Nairobi, 1990)
The hydrogen ion concentration (pH) changes in soil
can be very important in determining the yield of plants.
Linear relationships have been found between the soil- and
the plant-avai lable trace elements.
Induced ...
On econometric modelling and time series models
(1997)
In this thesis an attempt is made to synthesize time series modelling
with econometric models through the notion of duality. More specifically an
extension of the type of models presented by Zellner (1979) is attempted ...
Biembelin - a new symmetrical bisbenzoquinone from Rapanea Melanpholes
(1993)
A minor orange pigment metabolite in the fruits of R. melanphloes is 6,6"-bis-(2,5-dihydroxy-4-undecyl-3,6-l .enzoqulnone) or 6,6'-biembelin.
Outcome of very low birth weight infants cared for in Kenyatta National Hospital's newborn unit
(1993)
There has been tremendous development in the field of neonatology over the past 30
years. This has particularly been in the care of lower birth weight infants especially those
born premature. Before the 1960s most infants ...
