THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS BASED ON THE t-J-d MODEL
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Many theories that attempt to describe the superconducting state have suffered significant
failures, leaving the t-J model as the only model which effectively captures the physics of
the strong correlations inherent ...
INTEGRATION OF Allium cepa AQUEOUS EXTRACTS AND FARMYARD MANURES IN THE CONTROL OF Aphis fabae AND Tetranychus evansi INFESTING Solanum nigrum CULTIVARS IN WESTERN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
The black nightshade, Solanum nigrum Linnaeus (Solanaceae), is a widely distributed tropical plant used as a nutritive vegetable and herbal medicine in East Africa. This plant expresses high levels of secondary metabolites ...
EFFECT OF LABORATORY RESOURCES AVAILABILITY AND USABILITY ON STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT IN PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY IN SOTIK SUB-COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
In the years 2010 and 2011, poor results in Chemistry were recorded among
secondary school students in Sotik Sub-County. Lack of efficient use of laboratory
resources was cited as one reason for the poor performance. ...
DETERMINATION OF BACTERIAL LOAD AND DIVERSITY IN SELECTED SITES IN LAKE NAKURU, KENYA AND THEIR ABILITY TO DEGRADE PLASTICS AND PETROLEUM OIL
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Halophilic bacteria have been largely omitted from ecosystem studies of saline Lakes, especially with regard to their importance in decomposition process under aerobic conditions. Plastics are widely used as packaging ...
THE SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATION OF SELECTED HEAVY METALS, NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS IN WATER AND SOILS OF YALA SWAMP, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Studies involving pollutants in the environment have been used as an indicator of their accumulation resulting from human activities. A study of spatial and temporal variation of pollutants involving forty four water and ...
EFFICIENCY OF UNIVERSITY OF ELDORET SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM USING BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
At the University of Eldoret, wastewater is treated using sewage treatment ponds. These ponds were constructed to cater for a few students when the university was a Teacher’s Training College. Since then, the treatment ...
NUCLEATION OF SUPERCONDUCTING VORTICES BY EXCITING ACOUSTIC STANDING WAVES IN A TYPE - II SUPERCONDUCTOR
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Superconductivity nucleation phenomenon in superconductors under an applied magnetic field close to the upper critical field HC3 has been studied by many authors. Physicists Saint-James and De Gennes were the first to study ...
FIELD DEPENDENCE OF THE PROPERTIES OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
High temperature superconductivity mechanism has remained an elusive concept for a long time. Field dependence of the properties of high temperature superconductors could be on the brink of solving this puzzle. This Study ...
On the Norm of Elementary Operator
(Advances in Pure Mathematics, 2014)
The norm of an elementary operator has been studied by many mathematicians. Varied results
have been established especially on the lower bound of this norm. Here, we attempt the same
problem for finite dimensional operators
