Effects of Faujasite X and Y Zeolites on the 1,1,1-Trichloro-2,2? bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) Degradation during Water Purification
(Science Publishing Group, 2013-06)
The ability of zeolites to abstract and denature organochloride pesticides finds application in water purification practices. In this study, activated faujasite X and Y zeolites were separately exposed to 1, 2 and 4 ppm ...
FACTORIZATION OF LARGE COMPOSITE INTEGER
(International Journal of Mathematics and Statistics Studies, 2013)
In this paper we practically deal with the problem of factorizing large integers. The various
algorithms that have been proposed are not efficient that is they do not run in polynomial time. We use
the algebraic approach ...

The Kenya’s Education Act 1968 and revised 1980 makes provision for the appointment of sponsors in school management and empowers them to participate in the management of schools or colleges that they sponsor. This article ...
Synthesis, Antiplasmodial Activity, and β‑Hematin Inhibition of Hydroxypyridone−Chloroquine Hybrids
(American Chemical Society, 2013)
A series of noncytotoxic 4-aminoquinoline-3-hydroxypyridin-
4-one hybrids were synthesized on the basis of a synergistic in vitro
combination of a precursor N-alkyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one with chloroquine
(CQ) and tested ...

Advances in composite integer factorization
(2013)
In this research we propose a new method of integer factorization. Prime numbers are the building blocks of arithmetic. At the moment there are no efficient methods (algorithms) known that will determine whether a given ...
Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotubes Synthesised by Pyrolysis of (4-{[(Pyridine-4-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl)ferrocene
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-08-13)
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) were synthesized by pyrolysis of (4-{[(pyridine-4-yl)methylidene]amino}phenyl) ferrocene in a solution of either acetonitrile or toluene as carbon source. This was achieved by testing ...
