Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Environmental and Socio-Economic Risk Factors of Climate Vulnerability in Low-Income Settlements of Kitwe City in ZambiaGeorge Kasali, Julius Kanyembo, Mapenzi Phiri, Mainza SibajeneRecent findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have clearly shown that climate change represents an urgent and irreversible threat to human societies and the planet and especially to the social and economic development of Africa.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine and identify the risk factors associated with climate vulnerability in selected slum settlements of Kitwe … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 25 Mar 2017 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Investigation on Performance Improvement in Tube Inserted with Delta Winglets on Discrete Right-Angled Triangular PlatesAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiNumerical investigations on flow topology and heat transfer behavior in a round tube heat exchanger inserted with Delta Winglets (DW) on Discrete Right-angled Triangular Plates (DRTP) are performed. The influences of DW heights; b/D or BR = 0.05-0.25 and flow directions; DW with V-Downstream (DWVD) and DW with V-Upstream (DWVU), are studied for turbulent flow; Re = 3000-10,000. The finite … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2017 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Channel Propagation Models and Developed Model for Mobile CommunicationYahia ZakariaPropagation models represent a solidifying of mathematical equations and algorithms that are used for radio signal propagation prediction in specific regions. In this research different propagation models are analyzed and compared. These propagation models have been proposed at the operating frequency of 3.8 GHz for different transmitter antenna heights in all types of terrain. These propagation models depend on location, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2017 · 8,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF THE ADEQUACY OF THE WIND SPEED EXTRAPOLATION LAWS FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUGHNESS METEOROLOGICAL SITESDalila Khalfa, Abdelouaheb Benretem, Lazher Herous, Issam MeghlaouiIncreasing knowledge on wind shear models to strengthen their reliability appears as a crucial issue, markedly for energy investors to accurately predict the average wind speed at different turbine hub heights and thus the expected wind energy output. This is particularly helpful during the feasibility study to abate the costs of a wind power project. The extrapolation laws were found … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 7,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDETERIORATING DISTRIBUTED DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK BY RECOVERING ZOMBIES USING PENALTY SCHEMEJ. Udhayan, M. Rajesh BabuResource of victim impounded by DDoS attack leads the victim to series monetary loss apart from various other ill-effects. Already lot of solutions came up in technological aspects almost neglecting the economical aspects. Hence there is not yet a proper method to make the zombies accountable to the economical loss materialized as the effects of highly zombie oriented DDoS attacks. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 9 Oct 2013 · 6,699 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE OIL INDUSTRYCharles GyanThis study was conducted to ascertain the contribution of women in the oil industry. It also looked at the opportunities available and the barriers that prevent women from attaining higher heights in the oil industry. Findings from the study show several factors (institutional, cultural, social and personal) that prevent women from being employed in the oil industry. The study has … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2013 · 7,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcute Phase Protein Responses in Mice Infected with River Water Contaminated by Pasteurella multocida Type B: 2Mohammed Muqdad Khaleel, Faez Firdaus Jesse Abdullah, Lawan Adamu et al.Animals are predisposed to infections through varieties of ways which activate the innate immune systems at the initial phase of acute infections. Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) is a devastating septicemic disease of cattle and buffaloes caused by a particular serotypes of Pasteurella multocida and serotype B: 2 is the most importanta cause of the disease in Asia. Therefore, the present study … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 17 Sep 2013 · 7,756 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteriological Examination of Computer Keyboards and Mouse Devices and Their Susceptibility Patterns to DisinfectantsOnochie Charles Chimezie, Anyim Chukwudi, Alo Moses Nnaemeka et al.Computers are ubiquitous and have been shown to be contaminated with potentially pathogenic bacteria in some communities. There is no economical way to test all the keyboards and mouse out there, but there are common-sense ways to prevent bacterial contamination or eliminate it if it exists. In this study, swabs specimens were collected from surfaces of 250 computer keyboards and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2013 · 13,509 accessesView PDFCite
