Photolabelling of Prostaglandin E2 receptor in cardiac sarcolemmnal vesicles
(1990)
A [3H]azidophenacyl ester of PGE2 ([3H]azido-PGE2) was synthesized and used to photoaffinity label the protein component of the high affinity PGE2 binding site in cardiac sarcolemma membrane. Photolysis of the isolated ...
The Physico-chemical Conditions of Turkwel Gorge Reservoir, a New Man Made Lake in Northern Kenya
(1999)
Variations in some physical, chemical, and nutrient conditions were
investigated at Turkwel Gorge Reservoir and its inflowing river,
Suam between 1994 and 1995. Seasonal changes in inflow volume
had the greatest impact ...
Alley cropping of maize with calliandra and leucaena in the subhumid highlands of Kenya Part 2. Biomass decomposition, N mineralization, and N uptake by maize
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1999-06)
A major challenge in developing agroforestry approaches that utilize tree-leaf biomass for provision of N to crops is to ensure synchrony between the N released from decomposing prunings and N demand by crops. A study was ...
Effect of incorporating Cassia siamea prunings on maize yield in an alley cropping trial in semiarid Kenya
(1997)
The influence of soil-incorporated Cassia siamea prunings on nutrient status of maize leaves, grain and yield was studied in an alley cropping experiment in semiarid Machakos, Kenya, during the 1988 long and short rainy ...
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 ...
Temporal changes in phytoplankton structure and composition at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir, Kenya
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998)
Temporal changes in phytoplankton chlorophyll a, composition, diversity, biomass (density and fresh weight) and primary production were investigated at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir (Kenya) over a two year period (1994 and ...
Evaluation of Leucaena leucocephala as a source of N for maize
(1997-01)
Prunings of leucaena [Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) De Wit]
have long been regarded as a useful alternative to N fertilizer,
but N use efficiency by crops is often low. The potential exists
to synchronise nutrient ...
Decomposition of Cassia siamea loppings in semiarid Machakos, Kenya
(1994)
The rate of decomposition of Cassia siamea Lam. prunings in an alley cropping system was investigated using litter bags in the semiarid area of the Machakos District, Kenya, during the short rains of 1988 and the long rains ...
The diagnostic value of haematuria and proteinuria in Schistosoma haematobium infection in Southern Nigeria.
(1992)
Haematuria and proteinuria as detected by chemical reagent strips correlated moderately (r=0·7) with prevalence and intensity of infection with Schistosoma haematobium in an area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Differences ...
Predicting decomposition patterns of tree biomass in tropical highland microregions of Kenya
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1997)
Decomposition- and nitrogen-release patterns of biomass from three agroforestry multipurpose trees (Calliandra calothyrsus, Cordia africana and Grevillea robusta) were investigated in four contrasting environments ...
