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 ...
The use of green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaf flavan-3-ol composition in predicting plain black tea quality potential
(Elsevier, 2007-01-01)
Reliable and quantifiable green leaf parameters for predicting black tea quality potential of tea bushes at the single bush stage are necessary to shorten tea breeding and clonal selection programmes. Green leaf flavan-3-ols ...
Practices of relatedness and the re-invention of duol as a network of care for orphans and widows in western Kenya
(Edinburgh University Press, 2007-01-01)
Globally, the HIV/AIDS pandemic (UNICEF/UNAIDS 1999) has brought increased mortality for young adults, while many children have been orphaned and made vulnerable (Poonawala and Cantor 1991; Barnett and Blaikie 1992). A ...
Technique and results of measuring surface-acoustic-wave reflection coefficients with the use of laser sounding
(Nauka/Interperiodica, 2007-08-01)
A technique of measuring the surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) reflection with the use of a laser sounding facility containing a reference diffraction grating is described. The characteristics of the SAW reflections from the ...
Refocusing Indigenous Music for Formal Classroom Practice: A Process of Creating Partnership between the School and the Community
(Unesco.org, 2007)
This paper examines the modalities and logistics of refocusing indigenous music in formal classroom practice in Kenya in a bid to create partnership between the community and the school. The need to refocus indigenous music ...
Technique and Results of Measuring Surface-Acoustic-Wave Reflection Coefficients with the use of Laser Sounding
(Nauka/Interperiodica, 2007-08-01)
A technique of measuring the surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) reflection with the use of a laser sounding facility containing a reference diffraction grating is described. The characteristics of the SAW reflections from the ...
Responses of mango (Mangifera indica L.) root stock seedlings to water stress
(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2007)
The present studies were aimed at investigating the effect of different watering regimes on the gas exchange parameters (stomatal conductance, CO<sub>2</sub> assimilation and transpiration rates) and chlorophyll content ...
Responses in dry matter production of NERICA to soil moisture stress
(CROP SCIENCE SOCIETY OF JAPAN, 2007)
NERICA (new rice for Africa) developed by Africa Rice Centre (ARC) in West Africa has a reputation
for high production under rainfed cultures. These genotypes have been widely adopted by farmers in West African
countries ...
Taxonomic Identification and Characterization of African Nightshades (Solanum L. Section Solanum)
(African Journal of Food, Agriculture, nutrition and developmen, 2007)
African nightshades play an important role in meeting the nutritional needs of
rural households, and are reported as being particularly rich in protein, vitamin A,
iron and calcium. Nightshades are among three top priority ...
Genetic evaluation of growth of Kenya Boran cattle using random regression models
(Springer Netherlands, 2007-10-01)
Data consisting of 18 884 weight records collected from 1273 Boran cattle from birth to 24 months of age were used to estimate covariance functions and genetic parameters for growth of Boran cattle using random regression ...
