Paleomagnetic results from the Narosura and Magadi volcanics of Kenya
(Department of Physics, University of Nairobi, 1979)Results of a paleomagnetic study carried out on the exposed volcanic rocks on the western side of the South Kenya Rift Valley are presented. Nine stratigraphic groups ranging in age from Miocene to Pleistocene were sampled. ... -

The paleomagnetism of the Turkana lavas
(University of Nairobi, 1966-02)Directions of magnetizations obtained after cleaning the Miocene lavas from northwest Kenya are presented. The pole position thus obtained, together with similar data from eastern Africa, indicates that no significant ... -

Pan-African high pressure granulites from SE-Kenya: petrological and geothermobarometric evidence for a polycyclic evolution in the Mozambique belt
(University of NairobiDepartment of Geology, 2004-12)Two different Pan-African tectono-metamorphic events are recognised in the Taita Hill Tsavo East National Park/Galana river area, SE-Kenya (Mozambique belt) based on petrographic and geothermobarometric evidence. Structurally, ... -
A panel of microsatellite and minisatellite markers for the characterisation of field isolates of Theileria parva
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2003)Mini- and microsatellite sequences show high levels of variation and therefore provide excellent tools for both the genotyping and population genetic analysis of parasites. Herein we describe the identification of a panel ... -
Parasitism of Amblyomma variegatum by a Hymenopteran Parasitoid in the Laboratory, and Some Aspects of Its Basic Biology
(University of Nairobi.School of Biological Sciences, 1994-06)Unfed Amblyomma variegatum F. nymphs were experimentally infected in the laboratory with a hymenopteran parasitoid, Ixodiphagus hookeri (Howard). The parasitoid was originally obtained from ticks collected from cattle in ... -
Partial characterisation of a trypanosome-lysing factor from the midgut of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria
(Department of Biochemistry, 2003)OBJECTIVE: Screening and biochemical characterisation of trypanosome-lysing factor (trypanolysin) from non-vector insect, Schistocerca gregaria. DESIGN: Laboratory based experiment. SETTING: Department of Biochemistry, ... -
Partial characterization and post‐feeding activity of midgut aminopeptidase in the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus
(1998)A leucine aminopeptidase was found in the midgut of the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus L. (Anoplura: Pediculidae). The enzyme is activated by the bloodmeal with a pH optimum at 8. The enzyme is soluble in both ... -
A Partial Economic Analysis for Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus L. and Sharptoothed Catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) Polyculture in Central Kenya
(2001)Aquaculture development in Kenya has been hampered by lack of targeted feeds. Chemical fertilizers can enhance natural food production and thus indirectly provide protein to complement energy-rich cereal brans used as feed. ... -
Partial least square structural equation modelling’use in information systems: an updated guideline in exploratory settings.
(University of Nairobi, 2018)The purpose of many studies in the field of Information Systems (IS) research is to analyse causal relationship between variables. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is a statistical technique ... -
Partial purification of the aminopeptidase from the midgut of the human body louse, Pediculus humanus humanus
(University of NairobiDepartment of Biochemistry, 2000)The midgut of the human body louse Pediculus humanus humanus contains a thermally stable leucine aminopeptidase, which was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis using l-amino oxidase. Midgut extracts were homogenized in ... -
Participation of Local Communities in the Management of Wetlands in Magadi Area, Kenya
(2003)Wetlands are lands that are transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water is usually at or near the surface of the land or land that is covered with shallow water (Cowardin et al. 1979, Roggeri 1995). ... -
Participatroy Approaches in the Control of Camel Trypanosomosis in Lapur Division of Turkana District, Kenya
(Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2006)This study was conducted to evaluate the control of trypanosomosis in camels in Turkana district of Kenya using participatory approaches. Lapur division of the district was conveniently selected as the study area considering ...
