Effect of anthropogenic activities on the water quality of Amala and Nyangores tributaries of River Mara in Kenya
(2015-10-30)
Abstract Mau Forest in the upper reaches of the Mara River basin has recently undergone
increased forest destruction followed by human settlement and agricultural activities. These
anthropogenic activities may be ...
Presence and distribution of mosquito larvae predators and factors influencing their abundance along the Mara River, Kenya and Tanzania
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-12-01)
Among all the malaria controlling measures, biological control of mosquito larvae
may be the cheapest and easiest to implement. This study investigated baseline predation of
immature mosquitoes by macroinvertebrate ...

Correlation of theaflavins content and valuations of Kenyan black teas
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 1986-05-01)
Correlation between theaflavins content and tasters' valuations of Kenyan black

correlations using 12 samples each, only ...
Flavour volatiles of Assam CTC black teas manufactured from different plucking standards and orthodox teas manufactured from different altitudes of Darjeeling
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 1988-01-01)
Biochemical correlations between volatile flavour constituents (VFC) of CTC bluck
teas manufactured from fine and coarse plucking of Assam tea and orthodox teas fiom three
different altitudes were carried out by GC-MS. ...
The effects of altitude on the chemical composition of black tea
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 1990-01-01)
Changes in quality parameters of crush, tear and curl (CTC) black clonal teas due
to variations in altitude within a radius of 10 km were determined. There were significant (P=
0.05) changes in all the quality parameters ...
Effects of land use change on land degradation reflected by soil properties along Mara River, Kenya and Tanzania
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-01-01)
Human-induced changes to natural landscapes have been identified as some of
the greatest threats to freshwater resources. The change from natural forest cover to
agricultural and pastoral activities is rampant especially ...

(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2017-01-26)
Phytochemical evaluation of Elaeodendron schweinfurthianum (Loes) extracts led to the
isolation of nine compounds which were identified as 3-oxofriedelane (1), 3α-
hydroxyfriedelane (2), 3-oxo-29-hydroxyfriedelane (3), ...

Spatial distribution and habitat characterization of mosquito species during the dry season along the Mara River and its tributaries, in Kenya and Tanzania
(BioMed Central, 2018-01-12)
Vector-borne diseases are increasingly becoming a major health problem among
communities living along the major rivers of Africa. Although larger water bodies such as
lakes and dams have been extensively researched, ...
