Sustainable Management of Urban Green Environments: Challenges and Opportunities
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Urban green areas not only provide aesthetic qualities but also provide important ecosystem services in ever-shrinking habitats, and therefore need sustainable management practices. The western and northwestern parts of ... -
Structure Revision Of Isoline (Ruwenine), Bisline And Isolinecic Acid
(University of Nairobi, 2000-08)X-ray crystallography of bisline, and the chemical interconversion of bisline and isoline (ruwenine), revealed that the structures previously assigned to these alkaloids required revision; as did that of isolinecic acid. -
A Comparative Study of Embelia Schiperi and Embelia Keniensis on Blood Glucose and Triglycerides in Normal and Epinephrine- Induced Hyperglycemic Mice
(University of Nairobi, 1999)Intraperitoneal administration of the methanol extract of Embelia schiperi (ES) to normal mice caused a significant decrease in blood glucose (p < 0.01) and a significant increase in triglycerides 4 hours after administration ... -
Activity of 6-Pentadecylsalicylic Acid from Ozoroa insignis Against Marine Crustaceans
(University of Nairobi, 2002)Bioassay-guided fractionation of the dichloromethane extract from twigs of Ozoroa insignis using Artemia salina larvae as a model led to the isolation of 6-pentadecylsalicylic acid as the active principle. This is the first ... -
