Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi Communities and Associated Common Tree Species in Chawia, Fururu and Ngangao Forest Fragments of the Taita Hills Forest, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2023)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are forms of symbionts that are ubiquitous in natural ecosystems. They are crucial in maintaining plant communities by enhancing uptake of nutrient and water as well as acting as major ...
On Equivalences of Some Classes of Operators in Hilbert Space
(University of Nairobi, 2023)
The study explores various classes of operators introduced by different researchers, including
n-normal, (n;m)-normal, k-quasi-(n;m)- normal, n-hyponormal, and (n;m)-hyponormal
operators. Notably, the class of (n;m)-hyponormal ...
