The optical investigation of tungsten diphosphide (WP2), a type-II Weyl semimetal, reveals its exceptional topological and anisotropic electronic properties. Through resistivity and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy measurements, WP2 exhibit high conductivity and anisotropic transport...

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) after their success in Asia specifically China have been replicated worldwide to achieve the benefits realised by countries that successfully implemented them. The benefits realised from these zones range from technology spillovers, employment and attraction of...

Climate change is altering hydrological patterns, leading to extreme weather events such as prolonged droughts, intense floods, and shifts in precipitation patterns threatening water supply systems in the Barotse Floodplain. This has adversely affected the rural communities in the Barotse...

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease and the second most fatal tropical disease. The 2024 World Health Organization (WHO) report indicates global mortality rates of 130,000 and 150,000 schistosomiasis deaths attributed to the causative agents Schistosoma mansoni and S. haematobium,...

Carbon trading has emerged as a leading solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, and deliver significant environmental, economic and social benefits for communities in developing countries. However, there are concerns about how it is being implemented and whether it is...

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is about significant temperature increase in the Central business district (CBD) in comparison to the outskirts. It has the potential to amplify heat waves and hot seasons because of their intensity. UHI causes not only thermal discomfort, but also decreases in...

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and livestock farming have caused an increase in the earth’s surface temperature by 1.0 °C since the preindustrial levels. Warmer temperatures over time are altering global weather patterns. These alterations have been resulting...

In today’s rapidly evolving world, research forms a cornerstone of human progress leading to new products, services, and technologies, which, in turn, can stimulate economic growth and enhance the quality of life. Research enables people to learn, innovate and address the complex challenges...

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men worldwide, and current drug administration methods of front-line drugs like Docetaxel (DXL) face challenges, including non-specific treatment causing several side effects and the development of drug resistance, which affects patients'...

The study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Zambia using the Chilanga plant as a case study. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the quality of the EIA process conducted at Chilanga plant against international EIA standards; assess the...
