A Foundation for Lorentz Force Based on Vibrating Strings as a Compact Fluid
(Scientific research, 2014-08)Several aspects related with Lorentz force are discussed in the light of the presence of vibrating strings. Strings are considered as a compact, tension and viscosity-free incompressible liquid. The motion of a charge ... -
Frames of Rights, Entitlement, Need, and Deservingness in the Affordable Care Act
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2015-09-30)I analyze four frames deployed by members of United States Congress on the floor of the House of Representatives before the initial passage of the Affordable Care Act on November 7, 2009. Of the four frames—need, rights, ... -
A Framework for Determining the Impact of Value Chain Participation on Smallholder Farm Efficiency
(Scientific Research, 2017-04)We analyze the efficiency of wheat farmers toward the ever-increasing demand for wheat in Tanzania. Translog production and cost functions were utilized in the stochastic frontier analysis to examine technical, allocative, ... -
Free Living Nematode Diversity in Polluted Soils: A Meta-Analysis
(University of Embu, 2021-09)Soil disturbances affects the community structures of soil organisms and the deterioration of the soil environment can be evaluated by studying these changes. Many experimental results have been published on the effects ... -
Free Will, Subjectivity and the Physics of the Nervous System
(Scientific Research, 2018-05)We want to stress the irreducibility of subjectivity to a pure physical process and, related to this the existence of an actual free will. A discussion on the existence of free will goes back at least to the Middle Ages. ... -
Free-living nematode assemblages associated with maize residues and their ecological significance
(2021)Return of plant residues to the soil is a sustainable way of enhancing plant growth, health, and levels of soil quality. In Kenya, maize plant residues are the most commonly returned plant material in many agro-ecosystems. ... -
Free-Living Nematode Diversity in Organic and Conventional Farming Systems: A Meta-Analysis.
(University of Embu, 2021-09)Research indicates that agricultural management practices affect the diversity of organic farms. Theoretically, organic farming should lead to a higher diversity of free living nematodes (FLNs) compared to conventional ... -
Frequently cutting restriction enzymes: Clearing the fog to see the ends
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-01)Telomeres, which are found at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, are composed of tandem arrays of repetitive sequences and safeguard genomic stability. Previous studies have revealed that telomeric repeats are also present ... -
From Second Chance Learners and Second-Class Citizens to Competent Addiction Practitioners
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018-04-28)The idea that clinicians who are in recovery from addiction or substance abuse working as addiction practitioners seems deeply counter-intuitive. Compounding this is the problem that many have incurred criminal records, so ... -
From Shiny Shoes to Muddy Reality: Understanding How Meso-State Actors Negotiate the Implementation Gap in Participatory Forest Management
(Routledge, 2017-11)Recent research on participatory forest management (PFM) in the global south has highlighted the existence of a widespread “implementation gap” between the ambitious intent enshrined in legislation and the often partial, ... -
