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 ...
Changes of phytoplankton communities in Lakes Naivasha and Oloidien, examples of degradation and salinization of lakes in the Kenyan Rift Valley
(Springer, 2009)
Increasing degradation of the water quality,
caused by overuse and salinization, leads to
considerable changes of the phytoplankton composition
in Kenyan Rift Valley lakes. Exemplarily, the
phytoplankton communities ...
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. ...
The influence of diel climatic cycle on the depth time distribution of phytoplankton and photosynthesis in a shallow equatorial lake (Lake Baringo), Kenya.
(Springer, 1995-05)
Lake Baringo is a shallow equatorial lake. This paper reports a diel study of the depth-time distribution of phytoplankton and photosynthesis at one location in Lake Baringo on 10 March 1989. The water column shows a pattern ...
Urinary Schistosomiasis in two family populations, using school children as tracers
(1988)
Two groups of families designated A and B were studied for Schistosoma haematobium infection in Amagunze, Anambra State, Nigeria. The groups were selected on the basis of a preliminary screening of schoolchildren: group A ...
Kenyan Nurses’ involvement in managing hospitalized diabetic patients
(2008)
Diabetes is a global public health concern because the incidence, prevalence and financial burden are rapidly increasing. Clinical nursing research in developing countries is rare. This study examines nurses' involvement ...
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 ...
Presenting Oneself as a Nurse: A Social and Professional Reality Construction
(Unisa Press, 2002-11)
The paper examined the historical development
of nursing education and practice in two selected
African countries as a background for
analysing the image of nurses and nursing.

Nitrogen recovery by alley-cropped maize and trees from 15N-labeled tree biomass in the subhumid highlands of Kenya
(Springer-Verlag, 2000-05)
The effectiveness of tree-leaf biomass as a source of N to crops in agroforestry systems depends on the rate at which crops can obtain N from the biomass. A study was conducted to determine the fate of 15N labeled, ...
