Effect of water deficit on the physiological and morphological characteristics of Mango (Mangifera indica) rootstock seedlings.
(Academic Journals, 2010)
Six month old Mango (Mangifera indica L.) rootstock seedlings were grown in 20 L plastic pots in a greenhouse at Maseno University, Kenya, to investigate the effect of water deficit on its morphological and physiological ...
Ecophysiological and genetic characteristics of three wetland plant species occurring in lake Victoria region in Kenya.
(Asian Research Publishing Network-ARPN, 2010)
This study was carried out to investigate the ecophysiological and genetic characteristics of some selected wetland plant species in Lake Victoria basin, Kenya. Seedlings of Cyperas esculentus L., Aframomum angustifolium ...
Pretreatment with natural flavones and neuronal cell survival after oxidative stress: a structure− activity relationship study
(Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2010)
Quercetin shows structural features that have been related to the antioxidant potency of flavonoids and also shows neuroprotection in different models of oxidative death. Because only a few studies have focused on the ...
Trypanosoma infection in carrier fish of Lake Victoria, Kenya.
(PW Kamundia, PG Mbuthia, RM Waruiru, LW Njagi, PN Nyaga, RH Mdegela, DK Byarugaba, RO Otieno, 2010)
The carrier status of the haemoparasite in fish was investigated in randomly selected Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Nile perch (Lates niloticus). Blood was drawn from the heart using needle and syringe from ...
Generalized relativistic dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)
Generalized relativistic field equations have been derived for dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame interpreted as a Finsler space where events are specified by both spacetime coordinates and corresponding velocities ...
A Direct Calculation of First-Order Wave Function of Helium
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We develop a simple analytic calculation for the first order wave function of helium in a model in which nuclear charge screening is caused by repulsive coulomb interaction. The perturbation term, first-order correlation ...
Influence of region of production on relative clonal plain tea quality parameters in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2010-04-01)
Tea is grown in diverse regions with varying climates. Growers seek high-yielding and
superior quality cultivars to improve profitability of the enterprise. A superior quality genotype
in one location is assumed to ...
The influence of geographical area of production and nitrogenous fertiliser on yields and quality parameters of clonal tea
(2010-04-01)
Variations in requirements for tea production in Kenya and factors controlling
growth and production of secondary metabolites responsible for the quality parameters are
indicative of the need for non-uniform recommendations. ...
Life history context of reproductive aging in a wild primate model
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2010-08-01)
The pace of reproductive aging has been of considerable interest, especially in regard to the long postreproductive period in modern women. Here we use data for both sexes from a 37‐year longitudinal study of a wild baboon ...
Salinity and temperature effects on CO2 assimilation in leaves of avocados.
(Academic Journals, 2010)
Young avocado plants were cultured in a glasshouse and subjected to salt stress or were well watered at Maseno University between September 2003 and September 2004. Three-month-old avocado seedlings were grown in 4.5 L ...
