Climate Smart Agriculture: Achievements and Prospects in Africa
(Scientific Research, 2015-08)Smallholder agriculture is facing a myriad of challenges in the wake of a changing climate. To counter this, several measures have been suggested in attempts to reduce the vulnerability of smallholder farmers who are the ... -
Climate-smart agriculture global research agenda: Scientific basis for action
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) addresses the challenge of meeting the growing demand for food, fibre and fuel, despite the changing climate and fewer opportunities for agricultural expansion on additional ... -
Clocks, Watches and Timepieces: The Ace Bio-Political Tools
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014-03-04)“...it’s my hypothesis that the individual is not a pre-given entity which is seized on by the exercise of power. The individual, with his identity and characteristics, is the product of a relation of power exercised ... -
Cloning, purification and characterization of the ribosomal protein L11 from E. coli
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-04)A high-expression system of L11 was constructed and investigated its interaction with other elements of the ribosome using physicochemical methods. The gene rplK, coding for the protein L11 from the E. coli 50S ribosomal ... -

A code for 3D calculations of the output characteristics for a single-cell thermionic fuel element of thermionic nuclear power plants for different applications
(2017-08)R&D has been conducted by a cooperation of Rosatom State Corporation’s enterprises to build a line of autonomous small nuclear power plants (SNPP) of up to 1 MW el to support government programs ... -
Codon bias of influenza a viruses and their hosts
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-10)The Influenza A virus remains an annual and worldwide health concern due to its fast evolutionary rate. There are two major forms of Influenza evolution: drift, caused by mutations, and shift, which results from the exchange ... -
Cognitive Radio Sensing Using Hilbert Huang Transform
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)Vast segments of the frequency spectrum are reserved for primary (licensed) users. These legacy users often un-der-utilize their reserved spectrum thus causing bandwidth waste. The unlicensed (secondary) users can take ... -
Combined Antero-Posterior Inverted-U Metaphyseal and Open-Wedge Medial-Epiphyseal Osteotomy for Advanced Blount Disease
(Scientific Research, 2015-04)Background: Blount disease is frequently associated with deformities that may not be adequately corrected by a single metaphyseal osteotomy. This study evaluated the outcome of a combined metaphyseal and epiphyseal ... -
Combined Effect of Magnetic Field and Compressibility on Rayleigh Taylor Instability
(Scientific Research, 2015-12)The nonlinear analysis of the combined effect of magnetic field and compressibility on the growth rate of Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability has been investigated for inviscid two fluid interface. We have considered an ... -
The Combining Confidence Distribution Method to the Behrens-Fisher Problem
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-07)Based on the Confidence Distribution method to the Behrens-Fisher problem, we consider two approaches of combining Confidence Distributions: P Combination and AN Combination to solve the Behrens-Fisher problem. Firstly, ... -
Comparative Analysis of Velocity Decomposition Methods for Internal Combustion Engines
(Scientific Research, 2012-09)Different signal processing technique performances are compared to each other with regard to separating the mean and fluctuating velocity components of a simulated one-dimensional unsteady velocity signal comparable to ... -
Comparative cytomorphometry of red blood cells of some fishes
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019-01-16)This study aims to compare the size of the red blood cells of different freshwater fishes to gain knowledge of their activity. In this study, 11 different freshwater fishes of four different order like Siluriformes, ... -
Comparative differential leucocyte count and morphometrical analyses of black rats Rattus rattus (Linnaeus, 1758) and white rats Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769)
