Protein polymorphism in two populations of the brown ear tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neumann (Acari: Ixodidae)
(2000)Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to compare the protein profiles of two geographically isolated populations of the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neumann (Acari: Ixodidae) in Kenya. Most of the protein spots ... -

Abundance And Diversity Of Soil Mites (acari) Along A Gradient Of Land Use Types In Taita Taveta, Kenya
(University of NairobiSchool of Biological Sciences, University of NairobiDepartment of Statistics and Actuarial Sciences, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and TechnologyDepartment of Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural SciencesNational Museums of Kenya, 2011)The abundance and diversity of soil mites was monitored along a gradient of land use types (LUTs) during the wet seasons in soils of Taita Taveta, Kenya. Sampling of mites from soils was carried out in eight LUTs which ... -
Utilization Of Synthetic And Botanical Insecticides To Manage Thrips (thysan.: Thrip.) On Snap Beans (fabaceae) In Kenya
(University of NairobiDepartment of Plant Science and Crop Protection, University of NairobiSchool of Biological Sciences, University of NairobiEntomology & Biotechnology, Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 2010-01)This field experiment was performed in Mwea–Tebere, Central Kenya, to evaluate and compare effectiveness of synthetic insecticides (Thiacloprid and chloropyrifos) and botanical insecticides (azadirachtin 0.15% A.I. and ... -
Practical implications of ionic strength effects on particle retention in thermal field-flow fractionation
(Department of Chemisty, University of Nairobi, 2003-01)Modification of ionic strength of an aqueous or non-aqueous carrier solution can have profound effects on the particle retention behavior in thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF). These effects can be considered as ... -

Essentiality of a newly identified carbohydrate-binding module for the function of CelB (BH0603) from the Alkaliphilic Bacterium Bacillus halodurans
(Department of Chemisty, University of Nairobi, 2006-10)CelB (BH0603) from Bacillus halodurans is a modular glycoside hydrolase with a family 5 catalytic module, an immunoglobulin-like module, and module PfamB of unknown function. The recombinant PfamB module bound to Avicel ... -
Enhanced electro-detection of ascorbic acid in Adansonia digitata fruit by use of surface modified electrodes
(Department of Chemisty, University of Nairobi, 2001)Surface modified electrodes have been used to study the seed of A. digitata. The results show the ascorbic acid redox peak is greatly enhanced and the oxidation/reduction peaks coincide with those of the corresponding ... -
Electrodeposition of polyaniline on acidified clay montmorillonite modified electrode
(Department of Chemisty, University of Nairobi, 2000)In this paper, we have presented results obtained on derivatization of the working electrode surface with clay montmorillonites treated with varying amounts of acid. The resultant changes in the population of Bronsted and ... -
Quantitative aspects of inorganic nutrient fluxes in the Gazi Bay (Kenya): implications for coastal ecosystems
(Department of Chemisty, University of Nairobi, 2002-11)Fluxes of dissolved inorganic nutrients: NHþ 4 , NO_ 2 , NO_3 , PO3_4 and Si(OH)4 from nearshore sediments of Gazi Bay were measured in situ within mangrove, seagrass and coral reef biotopes using benthic flux bell-jar ... -
Different binding specificities of S-layer homology modules from Clostridium thermocellum AncA, Slp1, and Slp2
(School of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, 2006-07)S-layer homology (SLH) module polypeptides were derived from Clostridium thermocellum S-layer proteins Slp1 and Slp2 and cellulosome anchoring protein AncA as rSlp1-SLH, rSlp2-SLH, and rAncA-SLH respectively. Their binding ... -
Bentonite (clay montmorillonite) as a template for electrosynthesis of thyroxine
(Department of Chemisty, University of Nairobi, 1999)The results discussed in this paper show that modification of the working electrode surface with clay montmorillonite (bentonite) enhances the iodine redox process and electrosynthesis of thyroxine. This is observed from ... -
Allen–Hickling equation applied to the quasi-reversible polyaniline redox system
(Department of Chemisty, University of Nairobi, 2000-10)We have applied the Allen–Hickling equation to compute a, K and i from polyaniline cyclic voltammetric response. The data gives an insight into the faradaic and double-layer components of the total charge. The presence of ...
