Investigation of long acoustic waveguides for the very low frequency characterization of monolayer and stratified air-saturated poroelastic materials
(Elsevier, 2021)When sound propagates in a porous medium, it is attenuated via several energy loss mechanisms which are switched on or off as the excitation frequency varies. The classical way of measuring acoustic energy loss in porous ... -
An investigation of MHD Flows of Nanofluid over an oscillating surface with Joule Heating
(International Scientific Press, 2017)The present study aims at investigating unsteady hydromagnetic flow of viscous incompressible, conducting nanofluid over an infinite oscillating surface with Joule heating. The governing equations involved are transformed ... -
Investigation of Optimal Temperature Distribution, Mechanical Properties and Microstructures of Friction Stir Welded Copper Alloy Joints
(Research gate, 2018)In this work to determine the maximum temperature at weld zone by using three dimensional finite element heat transfer model is developed by ANSYS. Copper specimens were prepared under different FSW condition, by varying ... -
An investigation of partial meaning and non-equivalence in English translations of Ekegusii kinship terms
(Journal of Advances in Linguistics, 2015)The main challenge that translators face is that of non-equivalence as the source language (SL) and the target language (TL) almost always have cultural and linguistic differences (organize words differently). Accordingly, ... -
An investigation of sin and evil in African cosmology

Investigation of the Effect of Film Thickness on the Optical Properties of Amorphous Se85-xTe15Sbx Thin Films
(Africa Journal of Physical Sciences, 2014)Amorphous thin films of Se85-xTe15Sbx (x = 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, and 5.0 at. %) deposited by flash evaporation technique, have been investigated in the wavelength range of 500nm-3000nm. It is found that the effect of increasing ... -
Investigation of the effect of film thickness on the optical properties of amorphous Se85-xte15sbx thin films
(Africa Journal of Physical Sciences, 2014)Amorphous thin films of Se85-xTe15Sbx (x = 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, and 5.0 at. %) deposited by flash evaporation technique, have been investigated in the wavelength range of 500nm-3000nm. It is found that the effect of increasing ... -
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF BOUNDARY LAYER THICKNESS ON A THIN FILM OF LIQUID FLOW DOWN AN INCLINED PLANE
(2012-12-30)The motion of fluid substances may be described by the Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations. The equations arise from the application of Newton’s second Law of motion to a fluid. In this paper, N-S equations in two dimensions ... -
An investigative study of dwarf mango (Boribo Muyini) seed kernel extract against inflammatory agent Staphylococcus aureus
(Journal of Scientific and Innovative Research, 2015)Alternative herbal medicine has been used to treat various infections from centuries. Natural plants contain Phyto constituents having similar chemical properties as of synthetic antibiotics. Boribo Muyini a typical Tanzanian ... -

Investor Behaviour towards Initial Public Offers (IPOs) in Kenya: A Re-Modelling of the Harry Markowitz’s Risk-Return theory?
(International Association of African Researchers, 2019)The period 2000-2013 witnessed a tremendous rise in investor participation in IPOs in Kenya. During this period a number of IPOs resulted in over-subscription. Outstanding cases include; Kenya-Re (334%), Kengen (236%), ... -
Iodine agronomic biofortification of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is effective under farmer field conditions
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-12)Iodine (I) is an essential micronutrient, which plays a critical role in human metabolism. However, its concentration is known to be low in most soils, making it deficient in crops. With most I agronomic biofortification ... -
Iron and protein content of priority African indigenous vegetables in the Lake Victoria Basin
(David Publishing Company, Inc., 2010-08-01)African indigenous vegetables have many nutritional and health benefits that have not been well researched and fully exploited. The objective of this study was to determine iron and protein contents of seven priority ... -
Iron content of the formulated East African indigenous vegetable recipes
(Academic Journals, 2009-12-31)Nutritional iron deficiency is the common cause of anaemia in developing world. However, Africa is endowed with African indigenous vegetables (AIVs) rich in micronutrients. Surveys within East Africa relate low AIV consumption ... -
