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 ...
Interannual variability of NDVI and bird species diversity in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2000-01-01)
Species richness, or simply the number of species in a given area, is commonly used as an important indicator of biological diversity. Spatial variability in species richness has been postulated to depend upon environmental ...
Understanding the relationship between environmental energy availability and bird species richness in Kenya using remote sensing and ancillary data
(2008-12-05)
The energy hypothesis predicts that, in regions of roughly equal area, energy flux per unit of area should be the
prime determinant of species richness. In the case of plants, primary production represents realized energy ...
Body size and abundance relationship: an index of diversity for herbivores
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001-11-01)
It is evident to any biologist that small-bodied species within a given higher taxon (order, class, phylum, etc.) tend to be represented by more individuals. Hence small-bodied species are generally more abundant than ...
Spatial patterns of species diversity in Kenya
(2001)
It is evident to any biologist that small-bodied species within a given higher taxon
(order, class, phylum, etc) tend to be represented by more individuals. Hence smallbodied species are generally more abundant than ...
