Step-Wise Group Screening Designs with Unequal A-Priori Probabilities and Errors in Observations
(Sultan Qaboos UniversityDepartment of Mathematics, University of Nairobi,, 2003)ABSTRACT: The performance of step-wise group screening with unequal a-priori probabilities in terms of the expected number of runs and the expected maximum number of incorrect decisions is considered. A method of obtaining ... -
Leaf disc regeneration of passion fruit
(School of Biological Sciences, 1999)A leaf disc regeneration system was developed for passion fruit, Passiflora edulis Sims. Leaf discs were cultured on a modified MS medium containing 8.90 µM BAP or on 8.90 µM BAP and 2.32 µM KIN. Shoots appeared within ... -
Studies on insect podborer infestations on Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. (pigeon pea) under different insecticidal spraying regimes in the Kenya Highlands
(Department of Entomology, University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1978)Three insecticides were tested in sprays in the field in Kenya in 1976 for the control of podboring insects, especially the noctuids Pardasena virgulana (Mab.) and Heliothis armigera (Hb.) and the agromyzid Melanagromyza ... -

Microsatellite analysis of the correlation between molecular and morphological traits in assorted maize inbred lines
(School of Biological Sciences, 2009)The success in identifying heterosis in hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) breeding depends on the availability of reliable genetic diversity among maize inbred lines. Conventional methods of breeding have been boosted by the ... -

Insect podborer infestations and their influence on developing pods and final seed yields by pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) in Kenya.
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi,, 1980)In Kenya, 8 species of insects were found to be common borers into the developing pods of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), feeding on the developing seeds and reducing seed yield. They were Heliothis armigera (Hb.), Maruca ... -

Model for the estimation of initial conditions in a conflict environment
(School of Mathematics, University of Nairobi,, 2011)Conflict can be described as a condition in which actions of one person prevent or compel some outcome at the resistance of the other. Quite often this can be seen as "two or more competing, often incompatible, responses ... -
Sequential surveys for the pine woolly aphid, Pineus pini (L.) Homoptera: Adelgidae in Kenya
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi,, 1980)Sequential survey procedures are described from Kenya for classifying the damage caused by the aphid Pineus pini (Gmel.) to Pinus patula. The criteria used are the degree of needle stunting caused by a given number of ... -
