The metabolic effects of the corpus allatum hormone in the male desert locust
(University of Nairobi, 1966-08)1. An account is given of the pattern and intensity of the spontaneous locomotor activity of adult males of the desert locust. It is shown that desert locusts exhibit almost continuous activity under continuous light ... -
Determinants of supply chain management practices in organizations

The regulation of ovulation in the tsetse-fly, Glossina pallidipes Austen
(University of Nairobi, 1971-10)The tsetse-fly female matures a single oocyte at a time. It ovulates this into the uterus, where it hatches, develops into a fully-grown larva, and is later larviposited by the mother. It is only then that the next mature ... -

Efficient shear reinforcement for RC beams - analysis using compression field theory
(1997)It is known that inclined reinforcement is effective in resisting shear in structural concrete beams, but such reinforcement is only specified in design codes to be in the form of bent-up flexural longitudinal reinforcement. ... -
Prediction of failure loads for RC column sections with biaxial bendings: technical paper
(1998)Major reinforced concrete columns are invariably subjected to combined biaxial bending and compression loading. The available design methods for such columns enable an approximate analysis based on symmetric and uniform ... -
Metabolic effects of the corpus allatum hormone in the desert locust, schistocerca gregaria
(University of Nairobi, 1965-09)SOME thirty years ago, Wigglesworth1 first demonstrated that yolk deposition in insect oocytes is controlled by the corpus allatum hormone. Since then, the hormonal control of vitellogenesis has been complicated by some ... -
