Amino acid neurotoxins in feathers of the Lesser Flamingo, Phoeniconaias minor
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
The Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) is known to use cyanobacteria (primarily Arthrospira) as a major food source in the East African Rift Valley lakes. Periodically, mass mortalities have occurred, associated with ...
Local and landscape effects on bee functional guilds in pigeon pea crops in Kenya
(Springer, 2015-07)
Pollinators face many challenges within agricultural systems due to landscape changes and intensification which can affect resource availability that can impact pollination services. This paper examines pigeon pea pollination ...
Implementing Language-in- Education Policy in Multilingual Mathematics Classrooms: Pedagogical Implications
(2013)
In this paper, we examine selected literature on classroom-based research to understand
how students and teachers (re)negotiate the language of interaction in a mathematics
classroom when the official medium of instruction ...
The effects of exchange rate liberalization in Kenya on French beans exports
(Pak Publishing Group, 2014)
The adoption of a floating exchange rate system in Kenya was an effort to make it more aligned to the market determined equilibrium rate. However, there is limited empirical evidence that success has since been achieved ...
The Utility of Aerial Pan-Trapping for Assessing Insect Pollinators Across Vertical Strata
(2011)
Insect pollinators provide a critical ecosystem service by pollinating many wild flowers and crops. It is therefore essential to be able to effectively survey and monitor pollinator communities across a range of habitats, ...
Molecular genotyping of selected soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes grown in different regions of East Africa
(2010)
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is one of the most popular pulses
because of its protein content and nodulating ability. However, most farmers and
researchers do not have sufficient genetic information of the genotypes ...
Hidden diversity of eukaryotic plankton in the soda lake Nakuru, Kenya, during a phase of low salinity revealed by a SSU rRNA gene clone library
(Springer, 2013)
A SSU rRNA gene clone library was
constructed to establish the diversity of eukaryotic
plankton in the African soda lake Nakuru during a
phase of low salinity (9.7 ppt = hyposaline). Normally,
the lake is mesosaline ...
Hydrochemical Characteristics, Plant Nutrients and Metals in Household Greywater and Soils in Homa Bay Town
(2012)
Greywater recycling has been identified as an efficient method to conserve water. The purpose of this study was to investigate some selected hydrochemical characteristics, plant nutrients and metal content of greywater and ...
Utilization of proteins and nucleic acids in the study of gene function: a comparative review
(2010)
Proteomics is one of the fastest growing areas in areas of research, largely because the global-scale analysis of proteins is expected to yield more direct understanding of function and regulation than analysis of genes. ...
Complete genome sequence of Planctomyces brasiliensis type strain (DSM 5305T), phylogenomic analysis and reclassification of Planctomycetes including the descriptions of Gimesia gen. nov., Planctopirus gen. nov. and Rubinisphaera gen. nov. and emended descriptions of the order Planctomycetales and the family Planctomycetaceae
(2014)
Planctomyces brasiliensis Schlesner 1990 belongs to the order Planctomycetales, which differs from other bacterial taxa by several distinctive features such as internal cell compartmentalization, multiplication by forming ...
