FABRICATION AND CALIBRATION OF LOW COST CAPACITIVE SOIL
(2016-05-23)Soil humidity is critical in crop production and its control is essential to water conservation. The knowledge of soil humidity to majority of farmers in Kenya is based on effects of weather on crops and soil texture. ... -
EFFECT OF LIMING ON LEVELS OF POLLUTANT HEAVY METALS IN
(2016-05-23)Soil contaminated with heavy metals from agricultural and industrial sources leads to unhealthy food. The metals enter the food chain and are consumed by humans. Phosphate fertilizers too contain undetermined amounts of ... -
EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE ON METAL OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR CHARACTERISTICS
(2016-05-20)The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a transistor used for amplifying and switching on circuits. In this study, the MOSFET parameters were computationally modeled, analysed and presented. The ... -
INVESTIGATION OF POLLUTANT LEVELS AND EFFICIENCY OF HEAVY
(2016-05-19)An increase in population initiating rapid industrialization has been found to consequently increase the effluents and domestic wastewater into the aquatic system. This has resulted in heavy metal pollution which has become ... -
ROTATING OPTICAL BEAMS: DIGITAL HOLOGRAPHIC GENERATION, PROPERTIES AND SELF-RECONSTRUCTION DYNAMICS
(2016-05-19)This thesis reports on an experimental investigation of rotating optical beams. Superpositions of higher-order Bessel beams with rotating intensity profiles were generated using a digital holographic experimental technique ... -
OPTICAL NOISE PERFORMANCE IN SMF-REACH AND SMF-REDUCED SLOPE FOR RAMAN FIBRE AMPLIFICATION USING DIFFERENT PUMPING TECHNIQUES
(2016-05-19)Signal amplification in optical fibres during transmission has become one of the techniques in improving capacity and reach in telecommunication networks. Fibre Raman amplifiers (FRAs) are currently being adopted in many ... -
ALGEBRA OF COUPLED ELECTRONS IN THE CO-EXISTENCE OF
(2016-05-19)Superconductivity is a phenomenon in which the d.c electrical resistance of a material vanishes completely and instantly rather than gradually when it is cooled below a certain temperature called the superconducting ... -
E-OPTIMAL DESIGNS FOR SECOND-DEGREE KRONECKER
(2016-05-19)Many products are formed by mixing together two or more ingredients. For example, in building construction, concrete is formed by mixing sand, water and cement. Many practical problems are associated with investigation ... -
