(1999)
The objective of this paper is to provide a summary overview of the African energy sector and briefly examine the nexus of poverty and energy in the region. While the paper uses continent-wide data, the emphasis is placed ...
Phase Transitions of Antiferroelectric Lead Zirconate Thin Films in High Electric Fields
(1996)
Phase transitions in antiferroelectric lead zirconate thin films were studied at room temperature and at 77 K. The lead zirconate films were prepared on Pt coated Si substrates by a reactive magnetron co-sputtering mthod ...
Current Land Laws Governing Land Planning and Title Surveys in Kenya
(1999)
The issue of land, its ownership, use and management is a highly emotive one in Kenya and was one of the key issues that drove the need for a new constitution. Following lengthy deliberations and a comprehensive public ...
Geomatics in the Third Millennium
(1999)
The theme of the AfricaGEO 2011 is “Developing Geomatics for Africa”, with an emphasis on the development of Geomatics (as an industry / technology) in the African context. This brings up technological development, as well ...
Grain Size Effects in Barium Titanate
(1993)
Due to its high crystallinity and purity, hydrothermal powder was used to study the effects of grain size and density on the dielectric properties of BaTiO3. Curie-Weiss analysis was used to analyze the results as porosity ...
