Fragmentation of relativistic oxygen nuclei in interactions with a proton
The data on investigation of inelastic interactions of nuclei
in a hydrogen bubble chamber at an incident momentum of 3.25 A GeV/ are
presented. Separate characteristics as fragments isotope composition
and topological cross-sections of fragmentation channels are given. The
processes of formation of light fragments and unstable nuclei, and the
break-up of the nucleus into multicharge fragments are
investigated. A comparison between the experimental data and the calculations
of the cascade fragmentation evaporation model (CFEM) is made. The
observed singularities of the interactions point out the important role of the
nucleus -cluster structure in the formation of the final products
Production of helium nuclei in relativistic oxygen proton collisions
Traditionally, governments have been viewed as complex, large bureaucratic
establishments with a set of information silos that erect barriers to the access of information
and make the provision of services cumbersome and frustrating. However with the
emergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), there is evidence of
improvement in efficiency and effectiveness of internal administration within governments
and the relocation of government services from government offices to locations closer to the
citizens. This paper is motivated by the need to investigate an e-government phenomenon in a
developing country context which is characterised by complex dynamics rooted in politics,
economy and social setting. The paper has been scoped to explore the evolution of egovernment
in Zimbabwe as articulated in ICT policy documents. The policy documents are
analysed through the lens of thematic analysis which leads to critical narrative analysis. The
use of thematic analysis as a theoretical foundation and a methodological approach for
analysing text contributes to a better understanding of government publications. This study
has identified that all documents are silent on the political and economic reality in Zimbabwe
which directly influences the implementation of capital projects. The policy documents also
make no reference to other considerations as funding models and execution plans under a
complex political, social and economic environment. As a result, government policy
documents remained only as blueprints without any impact towards the implementation of egovernment
in Zimbabwe
