Formation and Interaction of Bright Solitons with Shape Changing in a DNA Model
(2014-09)I explore the collision of localized structures that arise from a general initial solutions in the Peyrard- Bishop model. By means of the semi-discrete approximation, it is shown that the amplitudes of waves are described ... -
Formulation and Characterization of Prototype Particleboards using selected Crop Residue and Starch from Cassava Peels as a Binder
(University of Embu, 2020-11)Particleboards are formulated from lignocellulose material bound with adhesives. Conventional lignocellulose material used is wood particles and adhesive is formaldehyde-based resin. Due to reduction of tree cover, wood ... -
Formulation of Ceramic Water Filter Composition for the Treatment of Heavy Metals and Correction of Physiochemical Parameters in Household Water
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-11)The process of using ceramic water filter to remove contaminants and microbes in water processing is becoming more effective and popular among ceramists and homes in developing countries. However, ceramic filters are not ... -
A Foundation for Lorentz Force Based on Vibrating Strings as a Compact Fluid
(Scientific research, 2014-08)Several aspects related with Lorentz force are discussed in the light of the presence of vibrating strings. Strings are considered as a compact, tension and viscosity-free incompressible liquid. The motion of a charge ... -
Frames of Rights, Entitlement, Need, and Deservingness in the Affordable Care Act
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-09-30)I analyze four frames deployed by members of United States Congress on the floor of the House of Representatives before the initial passage of the Affordable Care Act on November 7, 2009. Of the four frames—need, rights, ... -
A Framework for Determining the Impact of Value Chain Participation on Smallholder Farm Efficiency
(Scientific Research, 2017-04)We analyze the efficiency of wheat farmers toward the ever-increasing demand for wheat in Tanzania. Translog production and cost functions were utilized in the stochastic frontier analysis to examine technical, allocative, ... -
Free Living Nematode Diversity in Polluted Soils: A Meta-Analysis
(University of Embu, 2021-09)Soil disturbances affects the community structures of soil organisms and the deterioration of the soil environment can be evaluated by studying these changes. Many experimental results have been published on the effects ... -
Free Will, Subjectivity and the Physics of the Nervous System
(Scientific Research, 2018-05)We want to stress the irreducibility of subjectivity to a pure physical process and, related to this the existence of an actual free will. A discussion on the existence of free will goes back at least to the Middle Ages. ... -
Free-living nematode assemblages associated with maize residues and their ecological significance
(2021)Return of plant residues to the soil is a sustainable way of enhancing plant growth, health, and levels of soil quality. In Kenya, maize plant residues are the most commonly returned plant material in many agro-ecosystems. ... -
Free-Living Nematode Diversity in Organic and Conventional Farming Systems: A Meta-Analysis.
(University of Embu, 2021-09)Research indicates that agricultural management practices affect the diversity of organic farms. Theoretically, organic farming should lead to a higher diversity of free living nematodes (FLNs) compared to conventional ... -
Frequently cutting restriction enzymes: Clearing the fog to see the ends
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)Telomeres, which are found at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, are composed of tandem arrays of repetitive sequences and safeguard genomic stability. Previous studies have revealed that telomeric repeats are also present ... -
