A Novel Ultra-Wideband Monopole Antenna with Band-Stop Characteristic
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-10)In this letter, a simple monopole antenna with variable band-notched characteristic for ultra wide band (UWB) function is proposed. Two L-shaped quarter-waveguide resonators coupled to the ground plane with two shorting ... -
Numerical Investigation of Flow Structure Interaction Coupling Effects in Hard Disk Drives
(2012-02)This paper studies the flow structural interaction (FSI) within a hard disk drive (HDD) through the use of a novel coupling method. The interaction studied was the fluid induced vibration in the HDD. A two step coupling ... -
Numerical simulation of the deterministic model of the under-five year’s pneumonia in Kenya
(2016)In this paper the numerical simulation of the childhood pneumonia deterministic model are determined. The estimated parameters and the under-five year’s population data for year 2013 was used to simulate the developed ... -
Nurse Staffing and Workload Drivers in Small Rural Hospitals: An Imperative for Evidence
(2016)Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore staffing issues and the workload drivers influencing nursing activities in designated small rural hospitals of Western Australia. A problem for small rural hospitals is an ... -
Nutrient content of sorghum hybrid lines between Gadam and hard coat tannin sorghum cultivars
(Wiley, 2022-06)Sorghum is an important food crop in the world that exhibits a predominant role in fulfilling the nutritional requirements, particularly in low- income group populations of marginal areas in Kenya. It is a principal ... -
Nutritional and Phytochemical Composition of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea [L.] Verdc) Landraces in Kenya
(UoEM, 2023-06-02)Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is a highly nutritious legume with good drought tolerance attributes and is therefore a suitable candidate for food and nutritional security especially in drought prone areas. This ... -
Nutritional assessment of compost by SMC method for white button mushroom cultivation in Maharashtra
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020-04-06)Like human beings and animals, White Button Mushroom (WBM) also require food, for growth and development of its fruit body. This fruit body is composed of certain chemical elements frequently referred to as plant nutrients ... -
Nutritional contribution of atmospheric deposition to the Strandveld vegetation of West Coast South Africa
(University of Cape Town, 2013-07)Ecosystem nutrient availability depends on the balance between rates of nutrient inputs and losses. Nutrients may be lost through fire and displacement of ash, herbivory, leaching and volatilization. The main pathways ... -
Nutritional status of people who inject drugs in Coastal Kenya: a cross-sectional study
(UoeM, 2024)Introduction Despite documentation on injection drug use (IDU) in Kenya, the nutritional status of people who inject drugs (PWIDs) is under-explored. Elsewhere studies report under-nutrition among PWIDs which is attributed to ... -
