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 ... -
Trace Elements in Carbonated Cold Springs of Eastern Mt. Kenya, Meru County
(Journal of the Kenya Chemical Society, 2021)Carbonated spring waters are natural sources of trace minerals considered to have important biological and therapeutic functions. However, some trace elements are toxic to the human body upon exposure even at low concentration ... -
Tree Layer Dynamics under Different Land Uses and Soils in Semi-Arid Areas of Kenya
(2002)A study was conducted to characterize the main factors critical to the distribution of key wood species and quantify the effects of land use on the tree layer in a semi-arid area of Kenya. Units studied were small-scale ... -
Tuning the photoinduced charge transfer from CdTe quantum dots to ZnO nanofilms through Ga doping
(Elsevier, 2019)Tuning the charge transfer rate between quantum dots (QDs) and metal oxide (MO) is important for improving the performances of QDs-MO devices. And tailoring the energy band of MO is one way to tune the charge transfer rate. ... -
Turbulent Natural Convection in an Enclosure at Varying Aspect Ratio
(International Institute for Science, Technology and Education (IISTE), 2017)Energy transfer mechanism in most technical flows is through turbulent natural convection due to low viscosity of the fluids used in technical applications. Consequently, there is need to establish the parameters that ... -
Turbulent Natural Convection in an Enclosure at Varying Rayleigh Number
(International Journal of Science: Basic & Applied Research, 2017)Most fluids used in technical applications are of low viscosity; hence, fluid flows encountered in engineering applications are mostly turbulent. Parameters that influence the distribution of the ... -
Two new genera in Magnaporthaceae, a new addition to Ceratosphaeria, and two new species of Lentomitella
(2008)Ceratosphaerella is described as a new genus for C. castillensis and C. rhizomorpha. The genus is related to Ophioceras but distinguished by ascomata with a basal stroma and shorter, fusiform ascospores. Muraeriata is ... -
Two new genera in the Magnaporthaceae, a new addition to Ceratosphaeria and two new species of Lentomitella
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)Ceratosphaerella is described as a new genus for C. castillensis and C. rhizomorpha. The genus is related to Ophioceras but distinguished by ascomata with a basal stroma and shorter, fusiform ascospores. Muraeriata is ... -
Two new xylariaceous species from Kenya
(Mycotaxon, 2009)A survey of wood rotting ascomycetes in Kenya produced taxa in Biscogniauxia and Kretzschmaria that did not match descriptions of any known species and are hereby described as new species. The species of Biscogniauxia ... -
Use of zeolites in wastewater remediation
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2022-06)Huge amounts of wastewater in low and lower-middle-income countries is released into the environment in untreated forms due to an increase in anthropogenic activities and disposal in water bodies. Pollution in water ... -
Variance Estimation for Poverty Indicators via Linearization Technique
(2018-08-24)In this study, an assessment of precision of poverty indicators is made with a view to improving its performance. A multiplicative bias reduction density function is used in estimating the poverty indicators and compared ... -
Variance Estimation in Stratified Random Sampling in the Presence of Two Auxiliary Random Variables
(International Journal of Science and Research, 2014)The objective of this paper is to develop an improved population variance estimators in the presence of two auxiliary variables in stratified random sampling adapting the family of estimators proposed by Koyunchu and ... -
Velocity Profiles of Unsteady Blood Flow through an Inclined Circular Tube with Magnetic Field
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2017)The present paper is devoted to study the flow of incompressible viscous, electrically conducting fluid (blood) in a rigid inclined circular tube with magnetic field. The blood is considered to be Newtonian fluid and the ... -
Wide visible emission and narrowing band gap in Cd-doped ZnO nanopowders synthesized via sol-gel route.
