Modelling the Deflection of Reinforced Concrete Plates Using the Symplectic Method
(Journal of Sustainable Research in Engineering, 2020)This work aims to predict the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete slabs by combining a smeared finite element model derived from fracture mechanics for the simulation of the decline in the flexural rigidity of the ... -
On class (n, mBQ) Operators
(World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2021-06-26)In this paper, we introduce the class of (n, mBQ) operators acting on a complex Hilbert space H. An operator if T ∈ B (H) is said to belong to class (n, mBQ) if T ∗2mT 2n commutes with (T ∗mTn ) 2 equivalently [T ∗2mT 2n, ... -
First-Principles Calculations Of Structural, Electronic And Elastic Properties Of Tysonite Lanthanum Fluoride (Laf3)
(Journal of Research in Environmental and Earth Science, 2018-06)The structural, electronic and elastic properties of tysonite Lanthanum fluoride (LaF3) have been studied using Density Functional Theory. The lattice constants were calculated and then the values fitted into the energy ... -
On N-A-Metrically Equivalent and A-Metrically Equivalent Operators
(International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications, 2021)A-metrically equivalent operators may be regarded as a generalization of metrically equivalent operators. This is realized when A= I and T ]= T ∗ . Definition 1.1. Two operators S ∈ BA(H) and T ∈ BA(H) are said to ... -
On (n, m)-Metrically Equivalent Operators
(International Journal of Mathematics And its Applications, 2021)In this paper, we introduce the class of (n,m)-metrically equivalent operators which is a generilazation of metrically equivalent operators and n-metrically equivalent operators. We then look at some properties of this ... -
Election results' verification in e-voting systems in Kenya: a review
(International Journal of Social Sciences and Information Technology, 2020-12)Politics is at the centre of a nation’s daily life, and so are elections. There is need to project continuous, verified, and validated results simultaneously to all stakeholders. This is imperative because it not only ... -
Nutritional Characteristics of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Composite Flours Obtained by Food Fortification
(European Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences, 2021)High prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition among the vulnerable population, especially children has prompted research on fortification of common staple cereal foods such as rice. However, rice has inferior nutritional ... -
