Thermodynamic properties of mercury based cuprate due to Cooper pair-electron interaction
(JMEST, 2016-07)
Interaction between electrons at the critical temperature that culminates into formation of Cooper pair holds the key in explaining cuprates high temperature superconductivity. We study the effects of the number of copper ...
Nonparametric estimator for the standardized sum using edgeworth expansions
(International Journal of Scientific Research, 2018-02-01)
Constructing an estimator for functional estimation is one of the problems in statistical inference. In this paper, the problem of constructing an estimator for a studentized sum is considered in the nonparametric set-up. ...
Quantum thermodynamics of a strongly interacting bose-fermi mixture in a three-dimensional anharmonic potential
(Researchgate, 2016)
Thermodynamic properties of Bose-Fermi mixture at ultra-low temperatures were studied using
perturbation theory in three Cartesian coordinates. The Hamiltonian for the mixture was developed in
terms of boson-boson, ...
Effects of static electromagnetic fields at 24 hours incubation on the germination of rose coco beans (phaseolus vulgaris)
(2009-05)
This study evaluates the percent germination of Rose coco beans (Phaseolus vulgaris
L.) seeds, when exposed to static electromagnetic fields under laboratory conditions incubated for
24 h. This can be replicated in the ...
Temporal analysis of drought in Mwingi sub-county of Kitui County in Kenya using the standardized precipitation index (SPI)
(discovery journals : Climate Change, 2018-12-01)
This study attempts to temporally characterize drought using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) over Mwingi Sub-County of Kenya. Rainfall data spanning 1961-2011 over the area of study was used to determine SPI values ...
Projected rainfall and temperature changes over Bungoma County in western kenya by the year 2050 based on PRECIS modeling system
(Ajol: Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies & Management, 2016-06-19)
This study investigated projected changes in rainfall and temperature over Bungoma County by the year 2050 based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) A1B and ...
School factors as correlates of secondary students’ achievement in mathematics in Bungoma County, Kenya
(International Journal of Educational Investigations, 2015-10-01)
There is abundant research evidence to support the view that when Mathematics is taught in an enabling environment, a lot of enjoyable learning takes place. But in reality this is not always so, the implication is that ...
The effectiveness of coccinellids as natural enemies of aphids in maize, beans and cowpeas intercrop
(2012)
Abstract: A field study was conducted in Busia district of Kenya to elucidate the dynamics of ladybirds in mixed stands of maize, beans and cowpeas to determine their efficacy as sole control measures for Aphids. Maize, ...
Effects of different agroecosystems on prevalence of different species of pests and coccinellid predators
(2012)
Abstract: This study was aimed at determining the effects of mixed and single cropping agroecosystems on the prevalence of different species of insect pests and coccinellids. It involved six growing crops: maize Zea mays ...
Population status and conservation hotspots of Prunus Africana (Hook. F.) Kalkman in South Nandi Forest, Western Kenya
(Researchjournali’s Journal of Forestry, 2016-07-01)
Prunus africanais assessed as vulnerable globally by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The conservation status is however general and under-illustrated. It lacks details on the actual threats that cause ...
