Campbellia aurantiaca, Wight, and Christisonia albida, Thwaites

Mary Thwaites and C. A. Pearson

Little guidance is available concerning the type of children's ward accommodation most suitable for the tropics. Hospitals are still being built without any children's wards and special facilities for neonates are seldom found outside teaching hospitals. Where such facilities exist, design has conformed to the traditional type of premature baby unit, which may be neither suitable nor desirable ...

Bioactive constituents of Conyza albida.

The bioactivity-guided fractionation of an active chloroform extract of Conyza albida led to the isolation of three alkenynes, deca-4,6-diyn-2-(Z)-enoic methyl ester (1), deca-4,6-diyn-2-(Z)-enoic ethyl ester (2) and deca-2,4-diene-4-hydroxy-6-yn-1,4-olide (3), and the terpenoid spathulenol (4), as the active toxic metabolites in the Artemia sp. lethality test. When tested in the KB cell cytoto...

Seasonal pattern of nitrogen mineralization and soil moisture beneath Faidherbia albida (syn Acacia albida) in central Malawi

On fertile alluvial soils on the lakeshore plain of Malawi, maize (Zea mays L.) yields beneath canopies of large F aidherbia albida (syn Acacia albida) trees greatly exceed those found beyond tree canopies, yet there is little difference in soil nutrients or organic matter. To investigate the possibility that soil nutrient dynamics contribute to increased maize yields, this study focused on the...
