Positron-Impact Excitation Of The Lowest Autoionizing State In Rubidium Atom Using Distorted Wave Method

  ABSTRACT Many calculations on atomic collisions and scattering processes have been performed on electron impact excitation of the lowest autoionizing state of rubidium, but not much attempt has been made with positron impact which is of equally fundamental importance and is receiving attention nowadays with the availability of improved positron beam experiments. So, in this study, total cross-sections, differential cross-sections, lambda parameter, R parameter and the alignment parameter...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTER BASED IDENTITY-CARD PROCESSING SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF IMT ENUGU)

Vulnerability Of Pastoralist Livelihoods To Drought Hazards In Shanta-Abaq Division Of Lagdera District, Garissa County, Kenya

ABSTRACT This study was undertaken in Lagdera District of Garissa County, a semi-arid area where nomadic pastoralism forms the bedrock of people’s livelihoods. The study aimed to analyze pastoralist’s household livelihood vulnerability to drought hazards over the last two decades. The study was motivated by several concerns. First, there is need to understand vulnerability of pastoralist livelihoods to drought hazards in the arid and semi-arid areas of Kenya. This will help us understand...

FACTORS HINDERING GENDER BALANCE IN THE POLITICAL PARTICIPATION OF LIBERIA. WOMEN AS A VICTIM.

Abstract The rising gender inequality in the political processes in Africa has existed for several decades and there are possibilities that this phenomenon could take a different trench if researchers and civil organizations do not see the need to identify determinant factors that have created such a huge gap, and then find a way to address it through structural solution plan. However, this paper aims at identifying these factors that have hindered the balance of political activities in the l...

Assessing The Impact Of Solid Waste On Human Health A Case Study Of Pondamali Slum In Nakuru District, Kenya

ABSTRACT Jlid waste management in the world over has proven to be a challenge, developing countries ke the lead in poor solid waste management, this could be attributed to a number of factors hich include lack of capacity either financially or infrastructure, and this has contributed irgely to the deterioration of health standards of the poor who live in slum areas. A study on ,sessing the impacts of solid waste management on the human health was carried out in ondamali Slum, Nakuru district ...

Spatial determinants of habitat use, mortality and connectivity for elephant populations across southern Africa

Abstract: Southern Africa contains 58% of the world’s savannah elephant population, yet 72% of their range occurs outside of protected areas. It is, therefore, important to develop management guidelines that satisfy the needs of both elephants and people while maintaining environmental heterogeneity and ecosystem processes. Managing elephants as a metapopulation may provide the solution. The goal of this thesis was then to use a habitat-based approach to identify landscape characteristics ...

Assessment of the Thermal and Non-thermal Impact of Ultrasound

Abstract The research was conducted on the topic “Assessment Of The Thermal And Non-Thermal Impact Of Ultrasound, A Case Study Of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika Zaria”. Ultrasound sonography is an imaging technique of generating images using a very high frequency sound wave. Sound is a mechanical, vibration form of energy. Ultrasound for medical imaging is generated in special crystalline materials which, when electrically excited, are capable of vibrating at frequen...

Tracking pollutants using Lagrangian Coherent Structures.

ABSTRACT In steady ows, the notion of boundaries separating dynamically distinct regions is not ambiguous. This is because the invariant manifolds of time-independent ows and the critical points of time-periodic ows provide adequate information to determine the behaviour of the solutions of these systems. However, for time dependent systems, it is strenuous to determine the nature of their solutions due to their dependence on time. Nevertheless, it was observed that just like steady ows, most...

Challenges Encountered In The Implementation Of Guidance And Counselling Programme In Public Secondary Schools Of Othaya Division, Nyeri District, Kenya

ABSTRACT Guidance and counselling is an integral part of the education system in Kenya. Secondary schools have implemented guidance and counselling programme as a government policy requirement. The programme is meant to prevent students’ maladjustment, lead to development of human potential, assist individual to self-actualization and simultaneously benefit the society. The purpose of this study was to investigate challenges encountered in the implementation of guidance and counselling prog...

Developing A Threat Matrix For Smart Mobile Devices In A University Network Towards A Secure Local Area Network Ecosystem

The need by staff and students to use smart mobile devices in university network is indisputable. This is because they help them to work and study more effectively as well as achieve better work-life balance. However smart mobile devices pose a security challenge as they continue toexpand the corporate  network unchecked thus increasing the attack surface. This creates a major security burden to security professionals who are supposed to ensure that smart mobile devices’ adherence to t...

The Action Of Symmetry Groups Of Platonic Solids On Their Respective Vertices

Abstract Platonic solids are 3-dimensional regular, convex polyhedrons. Each of the faces are equidistant and equiangular to each other in any of the solids. They derive their name from the ancient Greek philosopher, Plato who wrote about them in his dialogue, the Timaeus as reported by Cornford (2014). The solids features have fascinated mathematicians for decades including the renown geometer, Euclid: In his Book XIII of the Elements, as rewrote by Heath et al. (1956), he successfully�...

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL (A CASE STUDY OF ENUGU NORTH))

Development And Effects Of Computer-Based Self-Learning Instructional Puzzles On Junior Secodary School Students’ Learning Outcomes And Retention In Social Studies

ABSTRACT Secondary school students‟ poor academic achievement in social studies has been attributed to the predominance of inappropriate instructional strategies in the teaching and learning of the subject. Scholars have recommended the use of a strategy that provides students with hands-on activities. Researches have shown the effectiveness of Computer-based Self-learning Instructional Puzzles (CSIP) in science related subjects but the use has not been given prominence in social studies. ...
