Rhetorical structure in Master of Arts (MA) research Proposals of Kenyatta University
(Kenyatta University, 1999)This study set out to investigate rhetorical structure (persuasion) in Master of Arts (MA) research proposals of Kenyatta University. This was by comparing the Kenyatta University Faculty of Arts (KUFA) model of proposal ... -
Dissipation Behavior of Malathion and DimethoateResidues from the Soil and Their Uptake by Garden Pea(Pisum sativum)
(Environmemental Contamination and Toxicology, 2000)The contamination of soil by pesticide chemicals can occur through direct application to control some inhabiting insect pests of a variety of economic plants while indirect avenues can occur through aerial ... -
Training needs of practising professional librarians in the Kenyan public university libraries: a critical analysis
(MCB University Press, 2000)Examines the training needs of practising professional librarians in the Kenyan public university libraries. There is a general, but false assumption, in this sector that professional librarians who have attained the minimum ... -
The dissipation of malathion and dimethoate from the pea plants (Pisum sativum) under controlled conditions
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)4C-malathion, [S-1,2-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate] and 14C-dimethoate, [O,O-dimethyl S-(N-methylcarbamoylmethyl)phosphorodithioate] have been admin-istered to leaves of pea (Pisum ... -
Determination of serum isometamidium levels in sheep and goats under field conditions using isometamidium-ELISA
(2000)Twenty eight sheep and 28 goats were treated with isometamidium chloride (Samorin®, hone Merieux, Lyon, France) at a dose of 1 mg/kg body weight (bw) by intramuscular injection. All the animals were grazed in a tsetse-infested ... -
The dissipation and degradation of methoxy‐ 14C malathion in soil under tropical conditions
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2000)l4C-malathion[S-1,2-bis(ethoxycarbonyl) ethyl O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate] has been studied in soil under tropical field conditions by applying the 14C-malathion pesticide to soil in Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes ... -
Effect of Peripheral Velocity Difference Ratio on the Performance of Rubber Roll Huske
(The Japanese Society of Agricultural Machinery and Food Engineers, 2000)The difference in speed between the rubber rolls results in a shearing action on the rice grain as it passes between the rolls (Yamashita et al 1990, FA, 1995). The shearing force is thus dependent on the relative velocity ... -
Human Chromosomes
(Springer, 2000)This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the principles of human cytogenetics and provides examples of their applications, especially those that are important in diagnostic and preventive medicine. The authors ... -
Principles of Polymer Chemistry
(Springer, 2000)This book, unlike the first and second editions, is primarily aimed to be a textbook for a graduate course in polymer chemistry and a reference book for practicing polymer chemists. The first and second editions, on the ... -
Fundamentals of Power Electronics
(Springer, 2000)The objective of the First Edition was to serve as a textbook for introductory power electronics courses where the fundamentals of power electronics are defined, rigorously presented, and treated in sufficient depth so ... -
Quantum Mechanics
(Springer, 2000)This book is an outgrowth of lectures given at the University of Michigan at various times from 1966-1996 in a first-year graduate course on quantum mechanics. It is meant to be at a fairly high level. On the one hand, ... -
Differential Regulation of Wound-Induced 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Synthase Activity and Gene Expression in Mesocarp Tissue of Winter Squash Fruit by Carbon Dioxide and Diazocyclopentadiene"
(Africa Jounals Online, 2001)Ethylene biosythesis in higher plants induced by various stimuli may be regulated by several factors, among them ethylene action inhibitors. This study investigates the regulation of wound-induced ethylene production, ... -
A Synoptic Ecopath model of biomass flows during two different static ecological situations in Lake Nakuru (Kenya)
(Department of Zoology, University of Nairobi, 2001)Trophic relationships inside the Lake Nakuru ecosystem during two different phases are described by using the ECOPATH model. This allows a partial explanation of the ecological changes observed in the lake and to show that ... -
