Brine Shrimp Lethality Test of Soluble Proteis from Biomphalaria pfeifferi Snail as Preliminary for Vaccine Development for Schistosoma mansoni
(2015-06)
The study tested for in vivo Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) of soluble protein extracts from Biomphalaria pfeifferi snail. The proteins from foot and digestive gland were processed and their concentration determined ...
EFFECTS OF PROCESSING METHODS ON THE PROTEIN QUALITY OF MUCUNA BEAN (MUCUNA PRURIENS L.)
(2010-04)
Mucuna bean (Mucuna pruriens L.) is grown in many parts of Kenya as a green
manure/cover crop. The bean contains a high content of crude protein. However, it
remains a minor food crop due to the presence of anti-nutritional ...
Effects of entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae on non-target ants associated with Odontotermes spp. (Isoptera: Termitidae) termite mounds in Kenya
(ICIPE, 2016)
Termites are an important component of savannah ecosystems throughout Africa. Despite their importance in the ecosystem, they can be serious pests of structures, houses, rangelands, tropical forestry, and agriculture. For ...
Bioactive Constituents of Conyza floribunda
(Medwell Journals, 2010)
The study describes the antibacterial and antifungal effects of both CH2Cl2 and MeOH crude extracts, collected fractions and pure isolates of Conzya floribunda. The antimicrobial activity tests were carried out using agar ...
A put option's value for a nonlinear black-scholes equation
(2016)
We study a nonlinear Black-Scholes partial differential equation for
modelling illiquid markets with feedback effects. After reducing the equation
into a second-order nonlinear partial differential equation, we find that ...
Antiplasmodial activity, in vivo pharmacokinetics and anti‑malarial efficacy evaluation of hydroxypyridinone hybrids in a mouse model
(2016)
During the erythrocytic stage in humans, malaria parasites digest haemoglobin of the host cell, and
the toxic haem moiety crystallizes into haemozoin. Chloroquine acts by forming toxic complexes with haem molecules
and ...
Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes Synthesised by Pyrolysis of (4-{[(Pyridine-4-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl)ferrocene
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-08-13)
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) were synthesized by pyrolysis of (4-{[(pyridine-4-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl) ferrocene in a solution of either acetonitrile or toluene as carbon source. This was achieved by testing ...
Implementation of genomics research in Africa: challenges and recommendations
(2018-01-16)
Background: There is exponential growth in the interest and implementation of genomics research in Africa. This growth has been facilitated by the Human Hereditary and Health in Africa (H3Africa) initiative, which aims to ...
Semi-Parametric Spatial Joint Modeling of HIV and HSV-2 among Women in Kenya
(2015-08)
Several diseases have common risk factors. The joint modeling of disease outcomes within a spatial statistical context may provide more insight on the interaction of diseases both at individual and at regional level. Spatial ...
