A prospective study has been carried out at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), Lusaka, over a period of one and a half years (July 1995 to December 1996) to study the factors contributing to morbidity and mortality in the treatment of sigmoid colon volvulus and also compare the outcome of...

All sheet metal forming processes occur after permanent plastic deformation resulting in the material properties changing and therefore it is necessary to determine the extent to which a material can further be deformed for subsequent forming operations. Traditionally, experimental trial and...

This dissertation considers the single quantum pair annihilation of positrons with bound K-shell electrons in heavy atoms. It gives numerical calculations of the total cross section. By means of the method due to Basbas et a/.14, the binding-energy effect and its contribution to SQA cross...

The literature on the mineral deposits and small-scale mining activities in Zambia has been reviewed. The present state of the industry has been described with particular reference to the supportive services given by various institutions. The way in which the research, government and mining...

A conflict approach is used in this study for refuting/accepting race as a base for social stratification in colonial Zambia; for identifying the main form of social stratification in the colonial society and for identifying causal relations among racial', class, and status forms of social...

Introduction :To understand the brain-behaviour relationship, systematic neuropsychological assessments are undertaken using a validated battery of tests to ascertain one‘s brain integrity and levels of cognitive functioning (Hestad et al., 1998; Kaplan et al., 2001). These tests are however...

The ordinary time-independent Landau problem of a charged particle moving in an external perpendicular homogeneous magnetic field and the case of when a linear potential is introduced are reviewed for motion occurring in an infinite plane, on an infinite strip and in the half-plane. The first...

Studies were carried out in the South Luangwa National Park, located in the Luangwa Valley Zambia., on the behaviour, ecology and vectorial capacity of G. brevipalpis and G. m. morsitans and G. pallidipes. The catch of G. brevipalpis was low in odour baited epsilon, NGU2G, F3 and biconical traps...

The work presented here is a survey of some known results in functional analysis, particularly in the field of Operator theory. The study begins with definitions of linear spaces and some topological results which form the necessary background.Chapter two is the heart of the work and deals with...
