Occurrence and genotypic characterization of Diplostomum species (Digenea: 2 Diplostomidae) in Oreochromis niloticus L. and snail vectors in Kisumu 3 municipality 4
(Maseno University,Department of Zoology, 2005)
Diplostomum species metacercariae, are trematodes that pose economic threat to aquaculture
practice globally. Despite their diversity, species identification is difficult owing to their striking
morphological similarities, ...
Numerical Computation of Steady Buoyancy Driven MHD Heat and Mass Transfer Past An Inclined Infinite Flat Plate with Sinusoidal Surface Boundary Conditions

Potential salinity resistance in spiderplant (Cleome gynandra L.)
(2002)
Seeds of spiderplant (Cleome gynandra L.) were sown in soil-filled 20-litre plastic pots. The study was
conducted to investigate the potential for the existence of salinity resistance in C. gynandra. The experimental
design ...
Growth characteristics of Bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterranea) and Nerica rice (Oryza sativa) under intercrop system.
(IDOSI Publications, 2009)
Intercropping offers advantage if well planned including improved soil fertility and yields. Bambara groundnuts have been shown to yield in low fertility soils and have been described as a complete food. Nerica rice has ...
Changes in the chemical and sensory quality parameters of black tea due to variations of fermentation time and temperature
(Elsevier, 2001-12-31)
The changes in theaflavins and residual catechin compositions, thearubigins TRSI and
TRSII, sensory characteristics of total colour, brightness and briskness of black tea were

Suppression of RANTES in children with Plasmodium falciparum malaria
(Haematologica, 2006)
Severe malarial anemia (MA) is the primary manifestation of severe malaria among
children in areas of holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission. Although overproduction of inflammatory-derived cytokines are implicated ...
Fundamental Investigation of Vesicle Bilayer Membrane Dynamics
(Western Michigan University, 2007)
We studied the bilayer of vesicles from dimyristolyphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), using nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) probes, attached to the head (NBD-PE) and the tail (NBD-PC) of phospholipid derivatives. We characterized the ...
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 ...
