“The startling effect of the sound of C. Afra And A. Tormotus on the female A. gambiae”
(2012)
The female Anopheles gambiae, a malaria vector, detects ultrasound by its antenna, initiating an attractive or repulsive response. Modern electronic mosquito repellents exploit this concept in attempt to control malaria, ...
A Comparative study of the transmission parameters of the sound of mosquito predators and EMR”
(2012)
The wide bandwidth EMR ultrasound, exploited in mosquito repellency, yielded only 20 % effectiveness. Due to this wide bandwidth, ultrasound from Amolops tormotus and Coleura afra, mosquito predators, was investigated. The ...
“Effect of AC Helmholt magnetic field on the mass of Rosecoco deans”
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2011-06-09)
Plastic bags mostly made of polyethylene (PE) cause pollution as solid waste due to their non-degradability nature. Initiation of a degradative process by enhanced photo-oxidation is a possible method for an accelerated ...
Study of Humidity and UV Wavelength Effects on Degradation of Photo-Irradiated Polyethylene Films Using DMA
(2011-06-09)
Plastic bags, mostly made of polyethylene, cause pollution as solid waste due to their nondegradable nature. Accelerated degradation, as a solution to mitigate the menace, can be achieved through moisture enhanced photolysis. ...
School ICT Policy, a Factor Influencing Implementation of Computer Studies Curriculum in Secondary Schools.
(2013)
The introduction of ICT curriculum in education among schools in many countries was as a result of National ICT policy initiatives by the government. The National ICT curriculum differs from regions depending on the education ...
Algorithm for Selection of EAP Authentic
(2016-06)
ABSTRACT
Several recent studies indicate that many implementations of authentication and access control in public WLANs are
compromisable. This is because IEEE 802.11 standard leaves the choice of EAP method to use to ...
Automation of pressure and temperature measurements in vacuum deposition systems
(2013-08)
This paper describes a simple automated instrumentation and measurement system that is designed to offer a more reliable and fast method of measuring temperature and pressure, in thin film deposition systems. ...
Characterization and classification of clay minerals for potential applications in Rugi Ward, Kenya
(2016)
The applications of various clayey minerals are related to their structural, physical and chemical
characteristics. The physical and chemical properties of the clayey minerals dictate their utilization in
the process ...
Conjecture of banach space operator ideals in nuclear spaces
(2013-06)
We apply the notion of Banach space operator ideals in nuclear spaces through topological vector spaces. The motivation for this study came from attempts to generalize the structure of nuclear spaces as a result of nuclear ...
The effect of organic binders on the fracture properties of kaolin refractories, Journal of Material Science
(Springer, 2008-06)
The fracture properties of kaolin-based refrac-tories prepared using plant-derived binders from okra and‘‘mrenda’’ have been investigated and compared. It wasobserved that the MOR of fired samples improved ...
