Ex situ Conservation of Commercial Tropical Trees: strategies, options and constraints
(University of Nairobi.Wangari Maathai Institute for Peace and Environmental Studies, 2001)The role of ex situ conservation in a given conservation programme depends on the objectives of the gene conservation effort. In the first part of this presentation we therefore focus on the basic question:'What should ... -

Beyond elite capture? Community-based natural resource management and power in Mohammed Nagar village, Andhra Pradesh, India
(University of Nairobi.Wangari Maathai Institute for Peace and Environmental Studies, 2010-09)Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) projects and policies often aim to improve the livelihoods of rural people who depend on natural resources, and to promote democratic decision making and equitable benefit ... -
Derivation of steady-state herd productivity
(University of Nairobi, 1992)The productivity of a sustainable livestock production system can be assessed at a steady (stationary) demographic equilibrium. When it is determined for an optimal culling regime, the assessment is free of the effects of ... -
Primary productivity of papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) in a tropical swamp; Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1989)Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) standing biomass and the primary productivity of undisturbed and previously harvested areas of papyrus was measured in Lake Naivasha swamp, Kenya. Papyrus culm density in undisturbed swamp was ... -
Assessment of the effect of tsetse control on livestock productivity—a case study in northern Côte d'Ivoire
(University of Nairobi, 1998)In order to assess the effect of tsetse control on livestock productivity, 21 herds of cattle of N'Dama, Baoulé and zebu cross breeds in the region of Boundiali, northern Côte d'Ivoire, were monitored monthly for trypanosome ... -
Liver and serum butyrylcholinesterase activity in scorbutic guinea pigs
(University of Nairobi, 1993-02)The present study reports the effects of an ascorbic acid-deficient diet on liver and plasma butyrylcholinesterase activity. The activity of this enzyme decreased significantly in the plasma and liver subcellular fractions. ... -
Parasite kinetics and immune responses in efferent prefemoral lymph draining skin reactions induced by tsetse-transmitted Trypanosoma congolense
(University of NairobiG.W.O. Akol, Max Murray(1986):Parasite kinetics and immune responses in efferent prefemoral lymph draining skin reactions induced by tsetse-transmitted Trypanosoma congolense, 1986)Localised skin reactions (chancres) occurred on the flanks of cattle at the sites of deposition by tsetse flies of metacyclic forms of Trypanosoma congolense. Marked enlargement of the draining prefemoral lymph nodes ... -
Histopathologic and Electron Microscopic Studies of Cutaneous Lesions in Calves with Experimentally Induced East Coast Fever (Theileriosis)
(University of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Pathology, 1996)Skin lesions of bovine East Coast fever were examined by light and electron microscopy at 120 hours after attachment of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks infected with Theileria parva. Lesions included epidermal ulcer, ... -
Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research Volume 26, Issue 3, May 1981, Pages 271–276 Cover image A proposed model to predict the development of level bench terraces from steep backslope terraces
(University of Nairobi, 1981)A simple model has been proposed to predict changes in terrace conformation, during the development of level bench terraces from steep backslope terraces by natural processes of erosion and normal tillage practices. The ... -
Prevalence, incidence, and risk factors for lameness in dairy cattle in small-scale farms in Kikuyu Division, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1996)A prospective study was conducted to investigate the importance of lameness in dairy cattle on small-scale farms in Kenya. The gait and locomotor system of all cattle on randomly selected farms were examined during two ... -
Anthropogenic impact on the climate since man began to hunt
(University of Nairobi,, 1998-05)Processes, such as mountain building, changes in ocean gateways, natural changes in the carbon cycle and orbital changes, are ‘established’ mechanisms for climatic changes. This paper focuses on human contributions in ... -

Fine structure of Theileria parva in the Bovine skin
(University of NairobiDepartment of Veterinary Pathology,, 1997)Ultrastructural studies of Theileria parua in the bovine skin revealed 'infective particles' of the parasite. These parasite forms were pleomorphic and were found extracellular or within host lymphoid cells, neutrophils ... -

Impacts of capital and land constraints on the economics of new livestock technology in western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1992)The introduction of new forages and milk marketing improvements was projected to permit even the smallest modeled farms in a western Kenya region to adopt dual-purpose goats and thereby improve family income and nutrition. ...
