Stabilization and dewatering are indispensable treatment mechanisms applied in the management of Faecal Sludge (FS) that accumulates in onsite containment facilities such as pit latrines and septic tanks. This is because FS is mainly comprised of 80 – 95 percent water and readily degradable...

In the realm of 5G network optimization, the SIMU5G framework emerges as a potent simulation tool, encapsulating adaptive numerology, scheduling support, and mmWave support for the comprehensive modeling and optimization of 5G networks. Operating on a simulation-based approach, SIMU5G enables...

The motivation for venturing in alternative jet fuels has partly been due to the elevated level and volatility of the price of Jet A (a kerosene-based aviation gas turbine fuel) and environmental impacts on global climate change and air quality. The model of the annular combustor for the PT6A-27...

The percentage of female students majoring in computer science is lower than that of male students. Computer science has one of the lowest shares of women degree recipients among the broader field of Science and Engineering, with reports of only nineteen percent of the computer science degrees in...

In recent years, the world is gradually shifting away from the use of structural concrete in the construction sector. This is due to its retrogressive limitations such as costs, environmental degradation, low strength-to-weight ratio, its susceptibility to cracking. The world is moving towards...

The increase in availability of diagnostic tools and increase in awareness of cancer disease, has enabled the diagnosis of new cancer cases that were not previouslycaptured in Zambia. Today, the Cancer Diseases Hospital (CDH) treats over 3,200 cancer patients annually, a number significantly...

The study aimed at demonstrating the positive outcome of incorporating optimization techniques in the design procedure for designing steel-concrete composite bridges was conducted. Optimization algorithms have the capability of finding optimal or near optimal solutions in complex problems. In...

The power utility company in Zambia, the Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO) introduced load-shedding in urban and rural areas in 2015 when the country experienced severe drought and caused low water levels in our hydropower stations for power generation and distribution. To mitigate...

The area of northeastern Zambia, between Chama and Lundazi towns, is underlain by rocks belonging to the Irumide Fold Belt, a Mesoproterozoic orogenic belt whose geology is dominated by biotite gneisses, which often show incipient migmatisation, that belong to the Kampemba Group. Less common...

In practice, cured concrete strength may exhibit strength variation from batch to batch and within batch despite the mixes being of the same proportions and with quality control. On the other hand, structural concrete elements are designed to meet specific characteristic strength. In order to...
