The influence of AC electromagnetic fields on the initial radicle growth rate of phaseolus vulgaris L.
(FACT Limited, 2009-10-07)
Objectives: To determine if AC electromagnetic fields can be used to improve growth of food crops. This
would reduce and minimize contamination of yield that is associated with application of fertilizers to
promote plant ...
Effect of CuO2 plane on the thermodynamic properties of double Tl-O layered cuprate based on an interaction between cooper pair and an electron
(2016)
Electron interaction near the critical temperature is viewed as a contributor to the establishment of the
energy gap which of late is projected to be a harbinger to explaining microscopic mechanism behind High
temperature ...

(Ajol: African Journal of Tropical Hydrobiology and Fisheries, 2018-06-01)
This study assessed the heavy metals concentrations in municipal solid wastes at Eldoret Mwenderi dumpsites located at the shores of river Sosiani within the Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya. Concentrations of the three heavy ...
On summing multipliers and applications
(Academic press, 2001-01-01)
A scalar sequence (αi) is said to be a p-summing multiplier of a Banach space E, if ∑∞i = 1‖αixi‖p < ∞ for all weakly p-summable sequences in E. We study some important properties of the space mp(E) of all p-summing ...
