Sovereign Marketing: A New Strategy of Marketing
(Scientific Research, 2017-08)The importance of “sovereign” consumerism is well established in business and marketing theory. It is a familiar business saying that the consumer is the king of the market or market king, which is truer in theory rather ... -
Feeding Polyunsaturated Supplements to Grazing Dairy Cows Improve the Healthy Value of Milk Fatty Acids
(Scientific Research, 2017-08)The objective of the experiment was to improve the healthy value of milk fatty acids (FA) by feeding sunflower oil (SO) or sunflower seed (SS) combined or not with fish oil (FO) to grazing dairy cows. Four Holstein cows ... -
Magnetic and Photon Cascade Emission of Gd3+ of NaGd(PO3)4 Monocrystal Under Appropriate Synthesis Conditions
(2017-08)A signal crystal of NaGd(PO3)4 (NGP) was successfully grown with the solid-state reaction method under appropriate synthesis conditions. Structure refinements and the purity of the samples were determined by XRD patterns. ... -
Computational and Experimental Study of the Inhibition Effects of Purple Sweet Potato Leaves Extract on Mild Steel Corrosion in 1M H2SO4
(2017-08)The alkaloid and non-alkaloid fractions of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) written as AEIB and NEIB respectively were used as inhibitors in the corrosion reaction of mild steel in 1.0 M H2SO4 solutions. The corrosion ... -
Revenue and Knowledge Cooperation Mechanisms between Business Incubators and Venture Capitalists for Collaborative Start-Ups
(Scientific Research, 2017-08)Business incubators and venture capital are effective instruments for supporting the development of new firms. The purpose of this paper is to explore cooperation mechanisms between business incubators and venture ... -
Behavioural Finance: A Re-Examination of Prospect Theory
(Scientific Research, 2017-08)Behavioural finance has received a major impetus over the last two decades. In this paper, we discuss the foundations which have helped in this paradigm shift from traditional Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) to the ... -
Quadrature formulas for integral equations of kinetics and digital reactimeters
(2017-08)The aim of this work is to derive quadrature formulas for nuclear reactor kinetic equations in the form of Volterra integral equations of the second kind and reactimeter equations in the form of integral convolution, the ... -
Criteria of return on investment in nuclear energy
(Elsevier, 2017-08)Analytical relationships between the investment performance criteria (net present value (NPV), levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), internal rate of return (IRR), discounted payback period (TPB), and discounted costs ... -
Evaluation of effective threshold displacement energies and other data required for the calculation of advanced atomic displacement cross-sections
(Elsevier, 2017-08)Minimum displacement threshold energy, averaged displacement threshold energy, effective displacement energy, and parameters of arc-dpa equations were estimated for 70 materials from Li to U using available experimental ... -
Revisiting Domestic Savings and Economic Growth Analysis in Ghana
(Scientific Research, 2017-08)This study set out to ascertain the relationship between domestic savings and economic growth in the midst of antecedent variables with yearly data during the period of 1970-2013. Using Johansen cointegration test and ... -
Fighting Uncertainty with Uncertainty: A Baby Step
(Scientific Research, 2017-08)We can overcome uncertainty with uncertainty. Using randomness in our choices and in what we control, and hence in the decision making process, we could potentially offset the uncertainty inherent in the environment and ... -
