The monotypic genus Bulborrhizina belongs to Bulbothrix sensu lato (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota)
(The American Bryological and Lichenological Society, Inc. - The Bryologist, 2015)
The phylogenetic position of the monotypic genus Bulborrhizina is studied using molecular data from three loci (mtSSU, nuLSU and ITS) aligned with sequences from 95 other samples of parmelioid lichens. Bulborrhizina africana ...
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 ...
New Measurement of Antineutrino Oscillation with the Full Detector Configuration at Daya Bay
(PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS, 2015-05)
We report a new measurement of electron antineutrino disappearance using the fully-constructed Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. The final two of eight antineutrino detectors were installed in the summer of 2012. Including ...
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 ...
Reproducibility of (n,γ) gamma ray spectrum in Pb under different ENDF/B releases
(Elsevier, 2016-02)
Radiative capture reactions are of interest in shielding design and other fundamental research. In this study the reproducibility of (n,γ) reactions in Pb when cross-section data from different ENDF/B releases are used in ...
Design and optimization of HPLWR high pressure Turbine gamma ray shield
(Nuclear Engineering and Design; Elsevier, 2015-04)
This work proposes the optimum gamma ray shield thickness around the HPLWR high pressure turbine for different occupancy periods in the turbine building. Monte Carlo method was employed in the design process and only ...
Developments of oil-free Bakelite resistive plate chambers for particle physics experiments
(Journal of Instrumentation; IOP Publishing, 2014-07)
In this paper, we sumarized a Bakelite Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) with non-oil surface treatment. This type of RPC has been installed and run smoothly in BESIII Muon identification system and Daya Bay cosmic Muon veto ...
The economics and gender factor in soya bean production and profitability in Kenya: a case of smallholder farms in Western Kenya
(Int. J. Agricultural Resources, Governance and Ecology, 2017)
Soya-bean is among world’s major crops, cultivated for its high oil, proteins content and its ability in soil-fertility amendments. The study assessed the determinants, constraints and profitability/gross-margins of soya-bean ...
