Investigation of some factors that lead to improved performance vis-a-vis the efficiency of single basin solar stills
(Ashdin Publishing House, 2011-01-01)
More often than not, the study of solar stills and their performance is restricted to the solar radiation at the place of study, certain parameters and factors have been found to improve the performance of solar stills in ...
The Seasonal Dynamics of Equatorial Spread-F Over Puerto Maldonado - South America
(Maseno University, 2015)
Equatorial spread-F (ESF) phenomenon refers to intense post-sunset ionospheric irregularity that
occurs around the geomagnetic equator due to perturbations in the ambient plasma. It has
remained a very active area of ...
Correlation Between Geomagnetic Field Variations and the Dynamics of the Equatorial Ionosphere Over East Africa
(Maseno University, 2017)
The geomagnetic field shows regular variation during geomagnetic quiet conditions. However, during geomagnetic storms, it exhibits irregular fluctuations that can induce hazardous electric currents in ground based conductor ...
Quantum entanglement properties of polarization states of a semi-classical optical parametric oscillator
(Maseno University, 2017)
Entanglement is a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics which originated from the 1935 paper of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) and has been demonstrated in many quantum systems for development of quantum technology. ...
Dependence of temperature variation on the shape factor of a Solar Parabolic trough concentrator (ptc)
(Maseno University, 2018)
Solar radiation energy incident on a collector can be converted into electricity using PV cells or thermal energy by means of solar thermal collectors. Solar radiation intensity is sometimes lower than required for suitable ...
Computational study of the structural, Electronic, optical and thermal properties of Hexagonal and cubic Germanium-antimony-telluride
(Maseno University, 2016)
The electronic, optical and thermal properties of hexagonal and cubic phases of
Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT)
as implemented in the QUANTUM ESPRESSO computer package. GST is ...
Characterization of variability of Total Electron Content (TEC) over Malindi
(Maseno University, 2013)
The dynamics of the ionosphere depends largely on solar activity. The attenuation of
radio signals as they propagate through the ionosphere can be determined through a
parameter called the Total Electron Content (TEC),which ...
Real- Time Human Immunodeficiency Virus test Analyzer Based on Digital Image Processing
(Maseno University, 2011)
Manykinds of HIV testing kits have recently become available to be used in determining whetheran individual's blood contains HIV virus or not. In the determine method of the HIV rapidtestprocedure, when a drop of blood is ...
Sensitivity of thermally deposited titanium Dioxide thin film for Liquefied petroleum gas sensing application
(Maseno university, 2010)
Titanium dioxide thin films have a wide scope of application including gas sensing. Other
studies have been carried on the sensing ability ofTi02 to natural gases (02, CO2 and H2)
and hydrocarbons (ethanol and butane). ...
