On A Class of Idealized Near-Rings Admitting Frobenius Derivations.
(Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science, 2020-07-15)In this paper, we use the idealization procedure for finite rings to construct a class of quasi-3 prime Near-Rings N with a Jordan ideal J(N) and admitting a Frobenius derivation. The structural characterization of N; J(N) ... -
On Certain Spaces of Ideal Operators
(SCIENCE MUNDI, 2023-11-16)We determine some important spaces of ideal operators and ideal characteristics. Special consideration is given to Frechet spaces, Spaces of finite rank operators and spaces of Hahn-Banach extension operators. The ... -
On Some Aspects of Compactness in Metric Spaces
(AFRICAN SCIENTIFIC ANNUAL REVIEW, 2024-04-17)In this paper, we investigate the generalizations of the concepts from Heine-Borel Theorem and the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem to metric spaces. We show that the metric space X is compact if every open covering has a finite ... -
On the Computationally Efficient Numerical Solution to the Helmholtz Equation

On the predictors of pro-environmental behaviors: integrating personal values and the 2-MEV among secondary school students in Tanzania
(Heliyon, 2022-05-03)The role of personal values in understanding pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors has received considerable attention from psychological researchers. However, little is known about the mutual interaction of personal ... -
On the Quotient Groups of Subgroups of the Unit Groups of a Class of Completely Primary Finite Rings
(Pure Mathematical Sciences,, 2015)The study of completely primary nite rings has generated interest- ing results in the structure theory of nite rings with identity. It has been shown that a nite ring can be classi ed by studying the structures of ... -
On The Sum of Three Square Formula
(SCIENCE MUNDI, 2023-11-30)Let n,x,y,z be any given integers. The study of n for which n = x2 +y2 + z2 is a very long-standing problem. Recent survey of sizeable literature shows that many researchers have made some progress to come up with algorithms ... -
Optical modelling of TCO based FTO/TiO2 multilayer thin films and simulation in hydrogenated amorphous silicon solar cell
(Scientific Africa, 2023-04-26)Hydrogenated Amorphous silicon (a:Si:H) has low amounts of defects making it attractive for photovoltaic applications. To improve power conversion efficiency (PCE) of a:Si:H solar cells, this study investigated the effect ... -
Optimal efficacy in mosquito-host interaction inhibition by 35-60 kHz animal sounds for malaria control
(Biophysical Journal, 2023-02-10)Female Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto, the malaria vector, continues to develop resistance to synthetic insecticides thus threatening its control. Studies on mosquitoe's phonotaxis showed that the electronic mosquito ... -
