Interference Mitigation in Satellite Personal Communication Networks Using Adaptive Antenna Arrays and Filtering Technique
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-10)We address the problem of interference as related to Satellite Personal Communication Networks (S-PCNs). Basic low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation is considered. The paper uses combined adaptive antenna arrays and adaptive ... -
Interference Mitigation MAC Protocol for Cognitive Radio Networks
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-04)The growing demand for wireless services coupled with the limited availability of suitable electromagnetic spectrum is increasing the need for more efficient RF spectrum utilization. Spectrum allocated to TV operators can ... -
Intergenic subset organization within a set of geographically-defined viral sequences from the 2009 H1N1 influenza A pandemic
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)We report a bioinformatic analysis of the datasets of sequences of all ten genes from the 2009 H1N1 influenza A pandemic in the state of Wisconsin. The gene with the greatest summed information entropy was found to be the ... -
The interplay between household food security and wellbeing among small‑scale farmers in the context of rapid agrarian change in India
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Small-scale agriculture, government entitlements, and livelihood opportunities offered by rapid economic growth shape the food security and wellbeing of people in rural India. This paper analyses this ... -
Investigating genotoxicity of Eleusine indica by micronuclei assay in albino rats
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019-01-16)Genotoxicity of Eleusine indica (Nkim enang: Efik) was investigated in the Wister strain albino rat (Rattus novergicus). Nine (9) male and nine (9) female rats were randomly assigned to three (3) groups, of which two were ... -
Investigation into Failure in Mining Wire Ropes—Effect of Crystallinity
(Scientific Research, 2013-04)A range of blends of polypropylene-polyethylene are investigated for their mechanical performances. These speciality polymer blends are chemically designed to suit high modulus/high load bearing mining wire rope applications ... -
An investigation of 10 Y-STR loci and the detection of specific haplotype frequencies in Turkish population
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-07)This study is to survey 10 Y-STR loci in 241 males from Turkey. In this study, the 241 healthy and unrelated males living in different parts of Turkey for at least three generations were included. Genomic DNAs were isolated ... -
Investigation of Adsorption Process of Hydrogen on Fe-Ti: Theoretical Simulation and Interpretation of Isotherms with Statistical Physics Treatment
(2017-10)Three theoretical expressions for the adsorption isotherms of hydrogen on Fe-Ti at three temperatures 100 K, 80 K and 60 K have been established. Our objective in this modeling is to select the adequate model that presents ... -
Is the World Objective?
(Scientific Research, 2014-05)The assumption of an objective world underlying all our experiences is deeply embedded in our everyday thinking and in our language, and has been an unquestioned presupposition of the scientific enterprise for at least ... -
Jail Incarceration and Birth Outcomes
(2004)This study examined the relationships between jail incarceration during pregnancy and infant birth weight, preterm birth, and fetal growth restriction. We used multivariate regression analyses to compare outcomes for 496 ... -
JnCML-like, an EF-hand motif-containing gene seasonally upregulated in the transition zone of black walnut (Juglans nigra L.)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011-10)The economic value of a black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) tree is strongly determined by the quality and quantity of darkly colored heartwood in its stem. To understand the regulation of heartwood formation, we analyzed the ... -
Justification and False Belief: Gettier’s First Point
(Scientific Research, 2016-11)Appearances notwithstanding, in this paper we do not discuss the Gettier problem. The question at issue is whether one can be justified in believing a false proposition. So, what is at stake is the relation between ... -
Justification of the Coexistence of Formal and Informal Reciprocal Loans in Developing Countries
(Scientific Research, 2017-10)This paper provides a new justification for the coexistence of formal and informal reciprocal loans in developing countries. We develop an investment model capable of comparing the financing costs of different financing ... -
Kautilya on Foresight, Oversight, Regulations, Ethics and Systemic Risk
(Scientific Research, 2017-04)In the wake of the recent Great recession of 2008-9, prudential supervision and “too-big-to-fail” have become the focal topics of discussion and policy. Western countries have added prudential supervision to complement ... -
Kinetic Study of Decolorization of Methylene Blue with Sodium Sulphite in Aqueous Media: Influence of Transition Metal Ions
(2014-04)The kinetics of decolorization of methylene blue (MB+) with sodium sulphite in aqueous media was investigated over the temperature range 20-40°C. The kinetic studies were carried out as a function of different variables ... -
Knockdown of Dock7 in vivo specifically affects myelination by Schwann cells and increases myelin thickness in sciatic nerves without affecting axon thickness
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)During development of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), Schwann cells (SCs) wrap individual axons to form myelin sheaths, which act as surrounding insulators and markedly enhance the propagation of the action potential. ... -
