The University of Zambia is experiencing increasing challenge of car parking space and vehicle access controls to and within campus premises. Vehicles have been stolen without being detected. There has not been any effective means of recording and tracking vehicle activities in and out of campus....

The contemporary smooth structures that describe the motion of particles on underlying sets through the related specified differential geometry need to be assessed in the sense of stabilising the advantage of working with one or another. Such a study is what we call a comparative smootheology. A...

Zambia has been experiencing adverse impacts of climate change. Generation of climate information about changes in future precipitation and temperature is useful in designing adaptive measures. Currently, global climate models (GCMs) are primary tools utilized to simulate the present and future...

Biochar is an organic residue combusted under low oxygen conditions, resulting in a porous, low-density carbon-rich material. Biochar has the potential to reduce pollutant mobility when used as an organic soil amendment. Until recently, Biochars’ potential has not been extensively evaluated for...

In machining operations, the effects of high temperatures are i) reduction in tool life, ii) production of hot chips and iii) inaccuracies in workpiece dimensions. Coolant is applied to convey away heat to extend tool life and ensure a good surface finish of the workpiece. While conventional...

Mining method selection is one of the most critical activities of Mining engineering with the ultimate goal of maximizing profit, mineral recovery and arrive at a method with the least problems among feasible alternatives. The geology at the Synclinorium is complex with four main lithologies i.e....

Worldwide, over two thirds of human waste is released into the environment with little or no treatment. This later results in the deterioration of the urban environment in form of air, water, and land pollution that poses risks to human health and the environment. In the developing world,...

Environmental pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that have the potential to cause adverse health outcomes. Open waste disposal sites are among the main causes of environmental pollution and public health hazards. In Namibia, majority of the towns, including...

Lusaka city has over 70 percent of its population residing in peri-urban areas where more than 90 percent of the residents rely on pit latrines for excreta disposal. However, no Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) systems exist to manage the faecal sludge from these facilities. This situation results...
