Metal oxide thin films have been used in thin film solar cells and other solar energy applications for many years. The main concern has been to improve their physical, electrical and optical properties in order to increase their efficiency and lower their production costs. Zinc oxide doped with...

This study evaluated school guidance service provision in high schools for pupils with visual impairments in Mumbwa and Sefula High schools for the Blind. The sample consisted of forty eight respondents from two co-educational boarding high schools running a unit for the visually impaired pupils....

This study explores the pattern of interactions between seven species of weaver birds viz: the White Browed Sparrow Weaver (Plocepasser mahali), the Spotted Backed Weaver (Ploceus cucullatus), Cabanis's Masked Weaver (Ploceus intermedius), the Masked Weaver (Ploceus velutus) and three species of...

Trypanosomosis is an economically important parasitic disease of almost all domesticated animals in Zambia. However, very little work has been done to estabUsh the pathophysiology of the disease in animals in Zambia. The changes in haematological and blood biochemical parameters of infected...

The Health and Nutritional Status of young Zambian children aged 0-5 years and residing on a sugar estate in rural Zambia was studied over a period of three months from April to June 1995. The study design was cross-sectional and descriptive. The main out-come measures were: anthropometric...

Health care delivery policy and strategies in Zambia could be said to have evolved through four significant phases. First, the pre-independence era whose health policies and strategies were based on the racial segregation ideology. Secondly, the immediate post-independence era whose health care...
