Conservation of biodiversity in the East African tropical forest
(Research gate, 2004-12)
Kakamega forest is one of the remnants of the equatorial guineo rainforest in the Eastern fringes of
Africa. It was perhaps cut-off from the Congo region in the early volcanic era when the Great Rift
Valley was formed. ...
Effects of salinity on growth and photosynthesis of avocado seedlings
(Asian Network for scientific information, 2007-01-01)
Genetic analysis of HIV-1 subtypes in Nairobi, Kenya
(Public Library of Science, 2008-09-11)
Genetic analysis of a viral infection helps in following its spread in a given population, in tracking the routes of infection and, where applicable, in vaccine design. Additionally, sequence analysis of the viral genome ...
The effect of abdominal obesity on insulin sensitivity and serum lipid and cytokine concentrations in African women
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006-05)
Studies have shown clear associations of abdominal obesity with lipid and glucose metabolism and cytokine levels in a number of different population groups. However, no such studies have been performed in an African ...
The effect of different apo (a) isoforms on plasminogen activation in black South African subjects: cardiovascular topics
(Clinics Cardive Publishing, 2003-05-01)
The present study evaluates the effect of different apolipoprotein (a)[apo (a)] isoforms on plasminogen activation.
Interannual variability of NDVI and species richness in Kenya
(International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), 2000)
A central task in community ecology is to determine biophysical controls of species richness patterns. Most multivariate
models relating environmental characteristics to species richness were developed with sparse point ...
Biochemical and molecular diagnosis of glutaric aciduria type 1 in a black South African male child: case report
(East African medical journal, 2001)
Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-1) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme glutaryl-Co enzyme A dehydrogenase. GA-1 is not uncommon amongst Caucasians but to the best of our knowledge, ...
Leptin and pre-eclampsia in black African parturients
(Elsevier, 2002-11-01)
To measure serum concentrations of the hormone leptin during late pregnancy in Black African women with pre-eclampsia, healthy normotensive pregnant women as controls and healthy normotensive non-pregnant women; secondly, ...
Growth performance of bamboo in tobacco-growing regions in South Nyanza, Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2008)
The study was carried out on 120 field experimentation sites where 2420 bamboo cuttings were planted under the same natural tobacco growing conditions in five different zones (that is, zone A = hillside/steep sloping ...
Predicting Mammal Species Richness from Remotely Sensed Data at Different Spatial Scales
(2008-12-05)
Spatial variability in species richness has been postulated to depend upon environmental factors such as climatic variability, Net primary productivity and habitat heterogeneity. The Advanced Very High Resolution ...
