Analytical method for on-line determination of thermal properties of materials in an absorption calorimeter
(1997)
A Microsoft FORTRAN 77 computer program for on-line
determination of thermal properties (absorptance a and emittance E)
of materials has been developed. It uses data from sample heating
and cooling histories obtained ...
Taxonomic, ecological and biodegradation studies of the basidiomycetous wood inhabiting fungi of Karura forest –Kenya
(1997)
Wood inhabiting basidiomycetous fungi are able to metabolise lignin, cellullose and
hemicellullose components of the plant cell wall causing either a white rot when both
