Nanostructured Membranes for Water Purification
(2014)Nanoscale materials can be used to achieve wastewater purification, desalination, and inactivation of pathogenic bacteria and viruses, as well as for the adsorption and/or degradation of contaminants [1 16]. The development ... -
Nanotechnology: Principles and Practices
(Springer, 2015)Over the past 15 years, the scientific world has witnessed a dramatic interest in nanotechnology with research contributions from physicists, chemists, biologists as well as scientists working in the medical, agricultural, ... -
The Nature of Scientific Knowledge
(Springer, 2016)The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the epistemology of science. To the degree that it is successful, this book introduces readers to epistemology in general as well as the ... -

The Need for ICT in Adult Education for Socio-Economic Development in Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria
(Machakos University, 2018-04)The thrust of the study was to examine the need of ICT in Adult Education for socio-economic development in Maiduguri, Borno state. In this light, the study adopted questionnaire method for data collection, simple frequency ... -
Need for Integration of Indigenous Healing Into Western Psychosocial Interventions in Trauma Healing Among Victims of Armed Conflict in South Sudan
(Journal of Educational Policy and Ent repreneurial Research, 2015)The epistemological terrain upon which indigenous and Western psychosocial approaches in trauma healing traverse is not level. This has resulted in superficial dichotomies between the two healing approaches, thereby obscuring ... -
Need for Integration of Indigenous Healing Into Western Psychosocial Interventions in Trauma Healing Among Victims of Armed Conflict in South Sudan
(Journal of Educational Policy and Entrepreneurial Research (JEPER), 2015-05)The epistemological terrain upon which indigenous and Western psychosocial approaches in trauma healing traverse is not level. This has resulted in superficial dichotomies between the two healing approaches, thereby ... -
The Need to Integrate Themes of Environmental Education in the School Curriculum in Kenya
(HRmars, 2013)Globally, the environment is under pressure from climatic variability and anthropogenic activities including deforestation, wetland and water catchment destruction, agro-chemicals use and urbanization among others. The ... -
Neural Networks and Deep Learning
(Springer, 2018)Neural networks were developed to simulate the human nervous system for machine learning tasks by treating the computational units in a learning model in a manner similar to human neurons. The grand vision of neural ... -
A New Avenue to fight unsustainable development at the Lake Naivasha Wetland of Nakuru County in Kenya: The Role of Trade Associations
(ISDS LLC, 2014)Wetlands sustainability can be pursued through stakeholders where business enterprises are confronted with social, economic and environmental claims. This paper looks at how the concept of sustainable development (SD) can ... -
New Introduction to Multiple Time Series Analysis
(Springer, 2005)When I worked on my Introduction to Multiple Time Series Analysis (Lu¨tkepohl (1991)), a suitable textbook for this field was not available. Given the great importance these methods have gained in applied econometric ... -
A New Substrate for Alkaline Phosphatase Based on Quercetin Pentaphosphate
(2014-05-22)We describe the characterization and application of quercetin pentaphosphate (QPP), a new fluorimetric substrate for the detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. QPP exhibits major absorbance peaks at 260/ 410 ... -
Nigerian Plant Resources, an Incredible Generosity with an Incredible Responsibility
(Machakos University, 2018-04)Nigeria is a physically and climatically diverse country that has been endowed with substantial plant resources. The natural vegetation varies from rain forest to savanna with nine distinct ecological zones which permit ... -
Nilpotent covers of symmetric and alternating groups
(2020)We prove that the symmetric group Sn has a unique minimal cover M by maximal nilpotent subgroups, and we obtain an explicit and easily computed formula for the order of M. In addition, we prove that the order of M is ... -
Noise Figure and Pump Reflection Power in SMF-Reach Optical Fibre for Raman Amplification
(2015)We investigate both experimentally and by simulation the Noise Figure (NF) and pump reflection power of a Distributed Fibre Raman Amplifier (DFRA) as a function of pump power and fibre length, at ... -
Nonparametric Estimates for Conditional Quantiles of Time Series
(2014)We consider the problem of estimating the conditional quantile of a time series fYtg at time t given covariates Xt , where Xt can either exogenous variables or lagged variables of Yt . The conditional quantile is ... -
Nonparametric Estimation of the Error Functional of a Location-Scale Model
(Scienpress Ltd, 2018-10-01)Two estimators of the distribution of the error term are proposed based on nonparametric regression residuals; considering a heteroscadastic location-scale model where the mean and variance functions are smooth, and the ... -
Nonparametric Mixed Ratio Estimator for a Finite Population Total in Stratified Sampling
(2018)We propose a nonparametric regression approach to the estimation of a finite population total in model based frameworks in the case of stratified sampling. Similar work has been done, by Nadaraya and Watson (1964), Hansen ...
