Education for Sustainable Development? An Analysis of Financing Wetland Conservation in The Wetlands of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2021)Financing education is the future towards environmental protection including wetlands. The focus of this paper is to assess if there is conservation education in various wetlands sites of Kenya, and, to evaluate the key ... -
Effciency conditions for multiobjective fractional variational problem
(University of NairobiDepartment of Mathematics and Informatics, Romania., 2000)In this paper we define the notion of normal effciency solution. Necessary conditions for normal effcient solutions of a class of multiobjective fractional variational problem (MFP) with nonlinear equality and inequality ... -

Effect of adrenalectomy on serum and tissue amylase
(College of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1965)The influence of the adrenals on the maintenance and control of serum and tissue amylase was studied in rats by determining the amylase content periodically for 21 days after adrenalectomy. Liver, muscle, fat, small ... -

Effect of Annealing and Surface Passivation on Doped SnO2 Thin FilmsPrepared by Spray Pyrolysis Technique
(2015)In this study doped SnO2 thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis technique using an alcoholic precursor solution consisting of stannic chloride (SnCl4.5H2O), ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and palladium chloride (PdCl2). ... -
Effect of Atrazine on Physiological Processes in Leaves
(University of Nairobi, 1971)We fed 2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino-s-triazine (atrazine) through the base of excised leaves of atrazine-tolerant and -susceptible species. Atrazine suppressed CO2 uptake in all species. This was shown to be ... -
Effect of avermectin and dicofol on the immatures of the predacious miteAmblyseius gossipi with a special reference to the secondary poisoning effect on the adult female [Acari: Phytoseiidae]
(1988)Avermectin at 1 ppm was slightly toxic by contact to the different immature stages of the predacious miteAmblyseius gossipi El-Badry. When immatures ofA. gossipi ingested treated prey on clean leaf discs, the toxicity ... -
The effect of boiling on the removal of persistent malathion residues from stored grains
(University of NairobiDepartment of Chemistry, College of Biological and Physical Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2002)This study aimed at finding the fate of malathion in maize grains and beans stored in a tropical laboratory for 12 months at temperatures of 20–24°C, relative humidity of 42–80% and grain moisture contents of 11.7–12.5% ... -
Effect of chemical spray on insect pests and yield quality of food grain legumes
(2008)Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. GLP 2), the lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.), the green gram (Vigna radiate L.), the lablab (Lablab purpureus L.) and the chickpea (Cicer arietinum). The experimental design was a randomized ... -
Effect of chorionic gonadotrophin on testicular histology and testosterone production in Tilapia leucosticta (Teleostei: Cichlidae
(University of Nairobi, 1970-10)Eight adult male T. leucosticta were given daily injections of 500 IU human chorionic gonadotrophin (Pregnyl, Organon) intraperitoneally for 1 week. These fish showed marked increases in testicular size, gonosomatic index, ... -
