Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from immature embryos of tropical maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines
(2008)
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration was achieved from immature embryos of six maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines (CML216, CML78, CML331, TL18, TL27 and MU25). Callus was initiated on N6 medium supplemented with ...
Microwave Expansion of Imitation Cheese Containing Resistant Starch
(Elsevier, 2008)
The objective of this study was to manufacture an imitation cheese that expands to a crispy product when heated in a microwave oven. Imitation cheese (∼18% w/w protein and 60% w/w moisture content) was formulated with ...
Effects of Refrigerated Storage on Water Mobility and Microwave Expansion of Imitation Cheese containing Resistant Starch
(Elsevier, 2008)
The effects of storage time prior to microwave heating on expansion of imitation cheese containing functional fibre was studied. Cheese was formulated to contain 60% moisture and 17.3% w/w resistant starch. Cheese samples ...
Kinetics of the Alkaline Phosphatase Catalyzed Hydrolysis of Disodium p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate: Effects of Carbohydrate Additives, Low Temperature, and Freezing
(PubMed, 2004)
The alkaline phosphatase catalyzed hydrolysis of disodium-p-nitrophenyl phosphate was studied in four model systems comprising sucrose, maltodextrin, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and CMC-lactose in a temperature range of ...
Impact of the invader Ipomoea hildebrandtii on grass biomass, nitrogen mineralisation and determinants of its seedling establishment in Kajiado, Kenya
(African Journal of Range and Forage Science, 2008)
The invasive coloniser Ipomoea hildebrandtii aggravates the problem of inadequate grass forage in Kajiado district, Kenya. To test
its impact on grass biomass, nitrogen (N) mineralisation and seedling establishment, grazing ...
Traditional strategies used by pastoralists to cope with la nina induced drought in Kajiado, Kenya
(African Journal of Science and Technology, 2008)
Pastoralists traditionally relied on herd mobility to cope with drought. In the pastoral areas of Kajiado, Kenya this strategy is now threatened by increased individual land ownership as compared to communal access. Drought ...
Competition between cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) and wild rice (Oryza punctata) in Kenya
(African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2008)
This shade house study examined the effect of competition on the growth performance of cultivated (Oryza sativa) and wild (Oryza punctata) rice species in Kenya. Growth was assessed for the two ...

Efficacy of the novel diamidine compound 2,5-Bis(4-amidinophenyl)- furan-bis-O-Methlylamidoxime (Pafuramidine, DB289) against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection in vervet monkeys after oral administration
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
10 to 30 days to facilitate treatment with parenterally administered medicines. The efficacy of a novel orally administered prodrug, 2,5-bis(4-amidinophenyl)-furan-bis-O-methlylamidoxime (pafuramidine, DB289), was tested ...
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense transmitted by a single tsetse fly bite in vervet monkeys as a model of Human African Trypanosomiasis.
(PLOS, 2008)
We have investigated the pathogenicity of tsetse (Glossina pallidipes)-transmitted cloned strains of Trypanosoma brucei
rhodesiense in vervet monkeys. Tsetse flies were confirmed to have mature trypanosome infections by ...
