Geology of the Ithanga Hills are in Kenya

Mathu, Eliud M.; Tole, M. P. (Elsevier, 1983)

The geology of the Ithanga Hills area is composed of high grade late Precambrian metamorphic rocks of the Mozambique belt, Tertiary (?) volcanics, largely tuffs, that overlie the Mozambiquian rocks unconformably and Recent ...
Spinal-cord neurons in the rat excited by testicular compression

Kanui, Titus I.; Short, A. D. (Wiley, 1984)
Thermal inhibition of nociceptor-driven spinal cord neurones in the rat

Kanui, Titus I. (Elsevier, 1985-03)

The inhibitory effects of cutaneous thermal stimulation have been tested on background and noxious-evoked discharge of neurones in the lumbar spinal cord of anaesthetized rats. Inhibition of background discharges by warming ...
Responses of spinal cord neurones to noxious and non-noxious stimulation of the skin and testicle of the rat

Kanui, Titus I. (Elsevier, 1985-08)

In chloralose-urethane anaesthetized male rats, 24 single units in the lumbar spinal cord which responded to testicular compression were recorded extracellularly with micropipettes. All responded to noxious testicular ...
The use of precipitation data to identify soil moisture patterns and the growing seasons in Eastern Kenya

Musembi, David K.; Griffiths, John F. (Elsevier, 1986-05)

Eight stations with 36 years of rainfall record were selected in the dry region of Kenya, east of 37°E longitude, so as to study the nature of the moisture patterns during the Short and the Long rains (October through ...
Thermal alleviation of capsaicin chemogenic pain in rats

Kanui, Titus I.; Lokken, P. (1987)
Thermal inhibition of nociceptor-driven spinal cord neurones in the cat: a possible neuronal basis for thermal analgesia

Kanui, Titus I. (Elsevier, 1987-01)

Extracellular and intracellular recordings were made from within the dorsal horn of 10 anaesthetised and gallamine triethiodide-paralysed cats. Inhibition of background and residual noxious-evoked discharge by cooling and ...
Influence of Frequency of Drinking on Particulate Passage Rate and Dry Matter Disappearance in Grazing Zebu Cattle

Musimba, Nashon K. R.; Galyean, M. L.; Whittington, D. L.; Pieper, R. D. (Allen Press and Society for Range Management, 1987-09)

Three ruminally cannulated zebu steers were used in a water restriction study. Three drinking frequencies were imposed on the steers: watered daily, once in 2 days, and once in 3 days. Particulate rate of passage was ...
Influence of Watering Frequency on Forage Consumption and Steer Performance in Southeastern Kenya

Musimba, Nashon K. R.; Pieper, Rex D.; Wallace, Joe D.; Galyean, Michael L. (Allen Press and Society for Range Management, 1987-09)

Forty-five zebu steers (rvg wt 311 kg) were allotted to 3 watering frequency treatments with 15steers/treatment. The treatments involved watering once every day (l/l), watering once every 2 days (l/2) and watering once ...
Ytterbium-Labeled Forage as a Marker for Estimation of Cattle Fecal Output

Musimba, Nashon K. R.; Galyean, M. L.; Holechek, J. L.; Pieper, R. D. (Allen Press and Society for Range Management, 1987-09)

This study evaluated the accuracy of a once daily dose of ytter- bium (Yb)-labeled forage as a marker to estimate fecal output of cattle grazing at the National Range Research Station, Kiboko, Kenya. Ytterbium-labeled ...
Receptive field organisation and electrophysiological responses of spinal cord thermoreactive neurones in the rat

Kanui, Titus I. (Springer Verlag, 1988)

Receptive fields and electrophysiological responses of seventy-three thermoreactive neurones were studied. The receptive fields were 1 to 10 mm wide and 1 to 15 mm long, for the warm thermoreactive neurones and 5 to 15 mm ...
The effects of temperature on oxygen consumption of eggs and hatchlings of the nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus)

Kanui, Titus I.; Aulie, A.; Maloiy, G. M. O (Elsevier, 1989)

1. The oxygen uptake ( ) of eggs and hatchlings of the Nile crocodile was measured at ambient temperatures (Ta) of 25, 32 and 37°C. 2. At a Ta of 32°C, was found to be stable during the last month of incubation. It, ...
Nociception in Crocodiles : Capsaicin Instillation, Formalin and Hot Plate Tests

Kanui, Titus I.; Hole, K.; Miaron, J. O. (The Zoological Society of Japan, 1990)

Three tests of nociception were adapted for the use in crocodiles (47.0-65.2cm long). In the capsaicin instillation test, capsaicin in concentrations of 10^<-9> to 10^<-3> g/ml instilled in the eye induced concentration ...
Effects of recombinant human growth hormone in juvenile nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus)

Kanui, Titus I.; Andersen, Øivind; Kimwele, Charles; Aulie, Arnfinn (Elsevier, 1990)

1. Recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) showed somatotropic activity in juvenile Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus). 2. Body weight of crocodiles receiving 3.25 μg hGH/g body weight twice a week was increased by 49% ...
Morphine induces aggression but not analgesia in the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber)

Kanui, Titus I.; Hole, K. (Elsevier, 1990)

1. The antinociceptive effect in the mole-rat of morphine (1, 10, 20 or 30 mg/kg) and nefopam (10 or 20 mg/kg) was studied. 2. In the hotplate test, morphine had no analgesic effect. A reduced response latency after morphine ...
Polymyositis associated with Ehrlichia canis infection in two dogs

Kanui, Titus I.; Buoro, I. B. J.; Atwell, R. B.; Njenga, K. M.; Gathumbi, P. K. (Wiley, 1990-12)

Clinical, haematological, biochemical, electrophysiological and pathological features of two dogs infected with Ehrlichia canis and with concurrent signs of polymyositis are presented. Both dogs had a history of relatively ...
Some socio-economic factors behind roadside farming in Kiambu District, Kenya

Mutisya, Dorothy N.; C., Lado (1991)

This study examines the factors influencing the continued existence and intensification of roadside farming - the growing of food, cash and fodder crops and livestock grazing - in some parts of Kikuyu and Limuru Divisions, ...
Effects of temperature on growth, food uptake and retention time of juvenile nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus)

Kanui, Titus I.; Mwendia, Charles; Aulie, Arnfinn; Wanyoike, Margaret (Elsevier, 1991)

1. The body growth, food uptake and gastro-intestinal passage time were studied in juvenile Nile crocodiles kept at different temperature regimes. Group A was kept at 30°C, group B at 30 and 25°C for 12 hr each and group ...
Characteristics of improved technologies that affect their adoption in the semiarid tropics of Eastern Kenya
