On Analytical Approach to Semi-open/Semi-closed sets in Metric Spaces”
(Science Publishing Group, 2017-03-03)
The concept of open and closed sets has been extensively discussed on both metric and topological spaces. Various properties of these sets have been proved under the underlying spaces. However, scanty literature is available ...
Metric Equivalence as an Almost Similarity Property
(Science Research Organization, 2017-11-03)
Various results that relate to almost similarity and other classes of operators such as isometry, normal, unitary and compact operators have been extensively discussed. It has been shown that if ...
Phytochemical screening and antipyretic activities of dichloromethanemethanolic leaf and stem bark extracts of Ximenia americana in rat models
(2017-07)
Introduction: In most parts of Africa, Ximenia americana is used in folklore to treat various disorders such as oedema, pain, fever, helminthiasis, diarrhoea, burns among other diseases. This study tested the antipyretic ...
In vivo Safety of Dichloromethane-Methanolic Extract of Allium sativum in Normal Mice.
(2017)
The indiscriminate use of Allium sativum in treatment of various diseases can pose a great danger to various body functions. Assessment of the effect of the extract on haematological and biochemical parameters can be used ...
Nephrotoxicity effects of Khat (Catha edulis) on mice when administered orally
(2017-03)
Renal problems are currently on increase worldwide. Some factors suspected to be the cause of the renal problems are drug abuse. Hence, this study investigated possible renal toxicity effect of ...
Novel Sources of Witchweed (Striga) Resistance from Wild Sorghum Accessions
(2017-02)
Sorghum is a major food staple in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), but its production is constrained by the parasitic plant Striga that attaches to the roots of many cereals crops and causes severe stunting and loss of yield. ...
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in Mn2VIn (001) films: An ab initio study
(2017-12-07)
First principles study of the magnetic anisotropy of Mn2VIn (001) films show perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), which increases as a function of the thickness of the film. Density functional theory (DFT) as implemented ...
First-Principle investigation of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Co2VIn and CoVIn Heusler compounds
(2017-01-05)
Investigation of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of full-Heusler Co2VIn as well as half-Heusler CoVIn Cobalt based Heusler compounds using density functional theory (DFT) leads to the general conclusion ...
Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in nearly fully compensated ferrimagnetic Heusler alloy Mn0.75Co1.25VIn: An ab initio study
(Elsevier, 2017-11)
First principles calculations are reported on perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in nearly fully compensated ferrimagnetic Heusler compound Mn0.75Co1.25VIn. The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of ...
Structural, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of the Heusler Alloy Mn₂VIn: A Combined DFT and Experimental Study
(2017-12)
Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the Heusler alloy Mn₂VIn have been investigated using the density functional theory and experimental techniques. Unlike many other Heusler compounds, Mn₂VIn is not predicted ...
