Sodium X-type faujasite zeolite decomposition of dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) to methylphosphonate: Nucleophilic zeolite reactions I
(Elsevier, 2006-06-20)
Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), used extensively as a nerve agent simulant, strongly adsorbs in X-type faujasite zeolite and undergoes nucleophilic substitution by the supercage oxygens. Solid state magic angle spinning ...
Hematological Characteristics of Infants and Young Children Presenting with Different Levels of Malarial Anemia at a Rural District Hospital in Western Kenya.
(American Society of Hematology, 2006)
n areas of intense P. falciparum exposure, such as western Kenya, the most lethal complication of malaria is severe malarial anemia (SMA). The pathogenesis of SMA is multi-factorial and not fully understood. Our ongoing ...
Accuracy of an anaemia scoring chart applied on goats in sub-humid Kenya and its potential for control of Haemonchus contortus infections
(Elsevier, 2006)
We tested the practical application of an anaemia scoring chart (the FAMACHA© chart) as a method for controlling Haemonchus contortus in goats kept under smallholder conditions in a sub-humid area of Central Kenya. The ...
Prevalence of porcine cysticercosis and risk factors for Taenia solim cysticercosis/taeniosis in three divisions of Busia district, Kenya
(Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources, 2006)
Prevalence of porcine cysticercosis and risk factors for Taenia solim cysticercosis/taeniosis in three divisions of Busia district, Kenya.
Inheritance of resistance to the spotted stem borer, chilo partellus, in a maize population.
(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, Nairobi (Kenya), 2006)
The spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus is an important insect pest of maize. It damages maize by feeding on the leaves and within the plant. Maize yield loss due to Chilo spp. Stem borer damage is estimated at 44 percent ...
Association of Fcγ receptor IIA (CD32) polymorphism with malarial anemia and high-density parasitemia in infants and young children
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006)
Protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially mediated through binding of malaria-specific IgG antibodies to Fcγ receptors. Polymorphic variability in Fcγ RIIa (H/R-131) is associated with differential ...
The relationship between some chemical parameters and sensory evaluations for plain black tea (Camellia sinensis) produced in Kenya and comparison with simila...
(Elsevier, 2006-08-31)
Reliable and accurately measurable chemical parameters that can be used to estimate
black tea quality are desirable in trade, research and breeding programmes. Using plain
Kenyan black tea from 11 cultivars, which gave ...
The relationship between some chemical parameters and sensory evaluations for plain black tea (Camellia sinensis) produced in Kenya and comparison with similar teas from Malawi and South Africa
(Elsevier, 2006-08-01)
Reliable and accurately measurable chemical parameters that can be used to estimate black tea quality are desirable in trade, research and breeding programmes. Using plain Kenyan black tea from 11 cultivars, which gave ...
Linear, primary monohaloalkane chemistry in NaX and NaY faujasite zeolites with and without Na0-treatment: Zeolites as nucleophilic reagents II
(Elsevier, 2006-06-20)
This work undertakes, we believe for the first time, a study of the chemistry of alkyl halides in Na0 treated zeolites. It concludes that
untreated zeolites do nucleophilic chemistry to the degree that the host is electron ...
Performance of African kale (Brassica carinata) to intercropping with other Indigenous Vegetables
(Egerton University, 2006)
The use of African indigenous vegetables (AIVs) among the many communities has gained
widespread popularity. These vegetables have a wide range of usage that include
provision of food, medicine, income and employment. ...
