Abstract: The recent discovery of the process/mechanism of the total conversion of mass to energy —a process that does not involve matter-antimatter interaction— has radically altered the theory of physical length contraction. It is argued that while atoms and molecules (and therefore also objects) undergo length contraction during aether-referenced motion the constituent fundamental particles themselves, on the other hand, do not! Fundamental particles actually undergo a strictly limited elongation. Based on the sound evidence and supporting theory that all elementary particles are configurations of photons, four supporting arguments are presented: (i) Particle elongation facilitates the conservation of its total intrinsic energy. (ii) The decrease of mass (as defined) becomes necessary with increased motion (with respect to aether). (iii) Elongation provides the key element in the mechanism of mass-to-energy conversion. A noninteraction-hundred-percent conversion (i.e., no particle-antiparticle annihilations is involved). (iv) The preclusion of the formation of singularity-type black holes, thus avoiding the associated infinity problems. Under the traditional view one cannot combine unrestricted length contraction and energy conservation —not in a realistic way. And for this very reason the long-standing rule has been that a mass particle/object can never attain lightspeed. And that rule, in turn, has led to a failure to understand the nature of the strangest objects of the Universe —Terminal neutron stars. The new interpretation overcomes this difficulty. The essential point being advanced is that Nature has a way for the total conversion of mass to energy. It accomplishes this by changing the gravitational environment —by subjecting “stationary” mass to lightspeed aether flow, compelling mass to undergo conversion, which requires length elongation.

Abstract: We performed the spectral analysis of Suzaku data on GT-Mus which was observed to emit 6.7 keV during its flaring period. GT-Mus was observed by the Suzaku team on December 12, 2007, with observation identity (402095010) for 96 kilo seconds. We downloaded GT-Mus data from the high energy astrophysics Suzaku archive. Our data reduction and analysis were done using XSELECT version 6.9 and XSPEC version 12.8. Errors reported in this work were done using the XPEC error command. We generated the spectrum and deduced a strong He-like (6.70 keV) emission from the source with Equivalent width of 282 ± 0.02 eV. This observed 6.7 keV emission line has an equivalent width which compares favorably with the equivalent width of 6.7 keV emission line from the galactic ridge (300-980 eV) depending on the Galactic position. From our analysis, we generated the light curve of the source which showed strong evidence of stellar flare. We therefore conclude that this observed stellar flare might be responsible for the observed 6.7 keV emission line. We however suggest that GT-Mus (HD101379) and other RS CVn stars that emit in 6.7 keV line could contribute to the 6.7 kev emission line from the galactic ridge during their flaring periods, since they exhibit the same level of chromospheric activities.

Abstract: "Kenya's energy depends on fossil fuels and the country is yet to embrace alternative sources especially in densely populated rural areas and urban poor. The use of wind is gaining popularity because it is cost effective, non-polluting, renewable and enormously available. The main challenge is non-availability of the renewable energy resource data in the rural areas where the bulk of the country’s population resides. The study assessed wind energy potential for Kiseveni area which is a rural site within expansive Mwingi/Kitui plateau in Kitui. The assessment entailed both empirical and numerical approaches by collecting a ten-minute interval wind speed for a period of six months with sensors elevated at 10 m height above the ground. From the collected data, wind speed analysis, wind directional analysis, wind energy and power both empirical and numerical was done to establish the available potential of wind energy at the site. In addition, the study elucidated the computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) application in addressing wind energy potential at the site and its added value with respect to its empirical approach. The results of the study were used to evaluate the potential for wind energy at the site for small-scale wind turbine application to the power-starved population. Empirical power density ranged between 31.65 W/m 2 to 54.00 W/m2 between 40 m to 100 m hub heights respectively with corresponding numerical power density ranging between 71.76 W/m2 to 125.45 W/m2. Numerical rotor power (PR) and average wind power (PW) were found to be -0.26 and 33.71 W/m2 giving a negative CP for the height. The results of the study reveal that the site corresponds to wind class 1 meaning the wind resource in the area is not suitable for grid connected generation but can run off grid small wind turbines and stand-alone activities like water pumping.
