(Lambert Academic Publishing, 2012)The book the reaction of teenage girls to TV advertisements looks at the language of persuasion in television adverts and looks at how the teenage girls react to it. The adverts do more than just sell the products they ... -
Temperature dependence of structural and luminescence properties of Eu3+-doped Y2O3 red-emitting phosphor thin films by pulsed laser deposition.
(Springer, 2016-02)Pulse laser deposition was used to obtain nanocrystalline red-emitting Y2O3:Eu3+ thin-film phosphors.X-ray diffraction measurements show that the un-annealed thin film was amorphous, while those annealed were crystalline.At ... -
A Theoretical Model of Corruption Using Modified Lotka Volterra Model: A Perspective of Interactions between Staff and Students
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020)Corruption is the misuse of power or resources for private gain. This undermines economic development, political stability, and government legitimacy, the society fabric, allocation of resources to sectors crucial for ... -
Thermal Resistivity of Chemically Activated Calcined Clays-Based Cements
(Springer, 2017)The study investigated the effects of selected potential chemical activators on thermal resistivity of calcined clay based cement mortars. 0.5 M Na2SO4 and 0.5 M NaOH were used as activator solutions. The chemical composition ... -
Thermal Stress Monitoring on Piston Rings by Real Time Holographic Interferometry
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013)In this paper, real time holographic Interferometry (RTHI) technique was used to monitor the thermal stress on the piston rings. The piston rings holograms were recorded and the holographic plate replaced on the holder ... -
