The advent and rapid growth of digital credit has made financial access easier. The population, traditionally considered \u201cunbankable\u201d can now access the much desired funds for both household and business needs. Though faster and convenient, digital loans, carry with them unique risks due to uncommon characteristics such as quicker disbursements upon request, proxy borrowing, lack of collateral, improper customer identity verification and unclear purposes for the funds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Cereals and pulses account for a significant portion, more than 34%, of the diet in most Kenyan households. According to estimates, food consumption accounts for at least one-eighth of the mean annual dose due to natural sources of radiation. Naturally occurring radionuclides mainly belonging to Potassium-40, Thorium-232 and Uranium- 238 chains and man-made radionuclides like Caesium-137 find their way into the food chain contributing to both internal radiation dose and environmental radioactivity.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

While the conventional BHM has been effective in describing the superfluid\u2013Mott insulator (SF\u2013MI) transition in systems with two-body interactions, it fails to account for local three-body interactions at zero temperature, especially in polar molecules with long-range dipolar forces.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy worldwide with approximately 2.3 million new cases annually. In Kenya, it disproportionately affects younger women (35-50 years) and represents the leading cancer diagnosis. Current prediction models inadequately quantify uncertainty in tumor responses, leading to suboptimal clinical decision-making due to insufficient integration of clinical variables and failure to account for biological variability and institutional heterogeneity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Simple groups form the building blocks of all other groups and the class of all simple groups is given in a theorem known as classification of finite simple groups. The proof of this theorem, which was a monumental work in group theory involved several researchers and was completed in 1982. It is captured in 500 volumes. In an attempt to better understand and simplify the proof of this theorem, several researchers have embarked on studying the underlying structures of these groups.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Thermoelectric generators (TEG) offer promising opportunity of converting heat into electrical energy. There is the need to explore highly efficient thermoelectric (TE) materials with aim of improving the performance of TEG. Among the TE materials investigated, are Zintl compounds which have recently gained a lot of interest because of their high figure of merit. The structural, elastic, electronic, and optical properties of BaGe2<\/sub>As2<\/sub> and BaGe2<\/sub>P2<\/sub> have been studied theoretically, however their thermoelectric properties have yet to be documented.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Currently, the agricultural sector has been experiencing inorganic fertilizer shortages due to the disintegrating phosphate rock conventionally used as phosphorus source during fertilizer production. The rock disintegration has been caused by its consumption with mining. This has led to low food production amid the increasing human population. For this reason, the conventional inorganic fertilizers availed to the market are scarce and unaffordable because the conventional methods of their syntheses require large amounts of energy and resources.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Natural radioisotopes are present in all sanitary ware products used in building and construction. The primary source of outdoor radiation that residents of homes or workplaces are exposed to is these radioisotopes. Determining the radiation levels of sanitary wares in terms of production materials (ceramic and porcelain) and countries of importation of these items used in buildings is crucial. In this study, Thallium doped sodium iodide detector NaI(Ti) was used to obtain levels (226<\/sup>Ra, 232<\/sup>Th, and 40<\/sup>K) in twenty sanitary ware products.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Animal wastes specifically livestock and poultry waste are gaining mileage as an alternative to commercial nitrogenous fertilizers. Livestock and poultry manure however vary in the composition of macro and micro-nutrients, pH, and absorptivity. There was therefore need to combine different manure types for optimal plant growth because optimization of animal manure mixing ratios is among the methods of improving manure efficiency. However, optimization procedures are considered sophisticated by farmers and researchers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Symmetry of a differential equation is a transformation that maps any solution to another solution of the system. In Lie\u2019s framework such transformations are groups that depend on continuous parameters and consist of point transformations or point symmetries acting on the systems space of independent and dependent variables. Lie groups and its infinitesimal generators can be naturally prolonged to act on the space of independent variables. In this thesis, we present Lie symmetry analysis to solve a non-linear ordinary differential equation of an electric power flow model.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Superconductivity is the state of a material characterized by close to zero dc electrical resistance, hence infinite conductivity by the material, when the temperature of the material is lowered below the critical temperature () in a zero magnetic field strength. There are two categories of superconductors; s-wave superconductors that are isotropic and d-wave superconductors that are anisotropic. The microscopic theory of superconductivity by Bardeen, Schrieffer and Cooper (BCS theory) explains s-wave pairing of charges under ambient pressure but it fails to explain charge pairing under high pressure. Studies have shown that superconductivity in hydrides is due to electron-phonon mediation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The unprecedented increase in anthropogenic activities coupled with the prevailing climatic conditions has increased the aerosol load over East Africa (EA). The aerosols have had detrimental effect to the local climate, human health and environment. There is therefore need for intensive characterization of aerosols properties over different domains, especially those that have lagged behind the rest of the world, such as EA. Given this, the present study has presented a spatiotemporal analysis of total aerosol optical depth (TAOD), absorptive aerosol optical depth (AAOD), scattering aerosol optical depth (SAOD) and direct aerosol radiative forcing (DARF) aerosol characteristics together with microphysical properties at distinct spatio-temporal scales over East Africa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
