Surface molecules on Leishmania.
(University of Nairobi, 1980)125I-labelled proteins of molecular weight 68 000, 55 000 and 46 000 and glycoproteins of molecular weight 64 000, 46 000 and 29 000 were identified on the surface of Leishmania S17 from the anterior gut of a phlebotomine ... -
Introduction of hybrid rice seeds to Kenyan farmer a promising reality
(University of Nairobi, 2012)Photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile (PGMS) rice lines are male sterile in long day-light length and revert to fertile under short day-light length growth conditions. On the other hand Thermosensitive genic male sterile ... -
Strictures on reproductive performance on small- to large-scale dairy farms in Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 1986)Studies were carried out at 3 large-scale farms of the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) in western Kenya and at 4 medium-scale and 3 small-scale farms in central Kenya (around Nairobi). Blood, and later milk, ... -
Proceedings of the Workshop on Language Technology for Normalisation of Less-Resourced Languages
(University of Nairobi, 2012)This paper describes the stages involved in implementing a corpus of spoken Irish. This pilot project (consisting of approximately 140K words of transcribed data) implements part of the design of a larger corpus of spoken ... -
Importance of Law and Policy on Successful Utilization of Nuclear Technology for Electricity Generation
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Law and policy is often said to have no correlation with scientific research and application, yet law is frequently utilized to resolve not only complex social conflicts towards sustainable economic growth, but also ... -
Two glacial-interglacial cycles of lake-level change in equatorial East Africa documented by high-resolution seismic sequence stratigraphy from Lake Challa (Kenya)
(University of Nairobi, 2004)A high-resolution (3.5 kHz) reflection seismic survey of Lake Challa (Kenya-Tanzania), a 97-m deep volcanic crater lake on the lower East slope of Mt. Kilimanjaro, revealed at least 215 meters of acoustically stratified ... -
Paleosecular variation of plio-pleistocene lavas from the Loiyangalani region of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2008)The data reported here is part of a study of Pliocene-Pleistocene lavas in Kenya to document the paleosecular variation and time-averaged geomagnetic field direction near to the Equator. We sampled 32 sites (10 oriented ... -
