A MODIFIED NUCLEAR MODEL FOR BINDING ENERGY OF NUCLEI AND THE ISLAND OF STABILITY
(University of Eldoret, 2021)A new nuclear model of quantifying binding energy of nuclei is proposed. The nucleus is assumed to be composed of two regions; the inner core region and surface region. The inner core is assumed to be composed of Z ... -
Modified Phenomenological Formula for the Ground State Energy of Light Nuclei
(World Scientific News, 2019)A modified phenomenological formula for the ground state binding energy in the region of light nuclei is proposed. Since binding energy is proportional to the volume of a nuclide, the new formula contains a volume term ... -
Modulated Raman pump for integrated VCSEL-based reach enhancement and clock tone dissemination in optical communication
(Elsevier, 2019)The fast growth of data traffic in access networks calls for high speed and low-cost optical links. To extend reach for users in metro areas requires optical amplification of the signal carrying data. In this paper ... -
Morphological and Yield Characteristics Diversity among Pumpkin Accessions in Kenya
