Differential Geometry: An Introduction to the Theory of Curves
(Science publishing group, 2017)
Differential geometry is a discipline of mathematics that uses the techniques of calculus and linear algebra to study problems in geometry. The theory of plane, curves and surfaces in the Euclidean space formed the basis ...
Evidence for Potential of Managing Some African Fruit Fly Species (Diptera: Tephritidae) Using the Mango Fruit Fly Host-Marking Pheromone
(JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 2012-12)
We investigated conspecific and heterospecific oviposition host discrimination among four economically important fruit fly pests of mango in Africa (Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann; C. fasciventris, Bezzi; C. rosa, Karsch, ...
Simulation of (16)O (n, p) (16)N reaction rate and nitrogen-16 inventory in a high performance light water reactor with one pass core
(Applied Radiation and Isotopes; Elsevier, 2014-12)
The rate of activation of the isotope (16)O to (16)N in a typical HPLWR one pass concept was calculated using MCNP code. A mathematical model was used to track the inventory of the radioisotope (16)N in a unit mass of ...
Species Composition, Distribution, and Seasonal Abundance of Liriomyza Leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) Under Different Vegetable Production Systems and Agroecological Zones in Kenya
(Environmental Entomology, 2015-02-03)
A longitudinal study to identify the species of Liriomyza leafminer, their distribution, relative abundance, and seasonal variation, including their host range, was conducted in vegetable fields at three altitudes in Kenya ...
Search for a Light Sterile Neutrino at Daya Bay
(PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, 2014-07)
A search for light sterile neutrino mixing was performed with the first 217 days of data from the Daya Bay ReactorAntineutrinoExperiment. Theexperiment’suniqueconfigurationofmultiplebaselinesfromsix2.9GWth nuclear reactors ...
Radiometric assessment of natural radioactivity levels around Mrima Hill, Kenya
(International Journal of the Physical Sciences, 2011-07)
Mrima Hill, located in the South coast of Kenya is known for high natural background radiation, due to the presence of radiogenic heavy minerals such as monazites and carbonatites. The activity concentration of 238U, 232Th ...
Compatibility of Metarhizium anisopliae isolate ICIPE 69 with agrochemicals used in French bean production
(Journal of Pest Management, 2012-04)
The compatibility of the Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin isolate ICIPE 69, which is being developed as a biopesticide for the control of Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande, was assessed under laboratory ...
Evaluation of permutite for removal of radiocobalt from nuclear wastewater
(Journal of Radioanal Nucl Chem, 2014-07)
A synthetic zeolite, commercially available as permutite was tested for removing radiocobalt from aque- ous solutions by sorption. The sorption process was studied as a function of contact time, pH, ionic strength and solid ...
Critical temperature and condensate fraction of a bose – einstein condensate trapped in a finite volume
(Centre for Info Bio Technology, 2014)
Bose - Einstein Condensation, BEC, of an ideal gas is investigated for a finite number of particles trapped in a harmonic potential. The values of the critical temperature for Rb-87, its condensate fraction and the energy ...
