(Scientific Research, 2017-10)This paper reviews the literature on the sustainability of Japanese government debt/deficit. First, we offer an overview of the approaches and the key findings on the sustainability analysis. Second, we introduce the ... -
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 ... -
Predicting the Entrepreneurial Intentions of University Students: Applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour in Zambia, Africa
(Scientific Research, 2017-10)The current paper contributes to the entrepreneurial intention (EI) literature by applying the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in a developing African country with unique socio-economic and cultural context. Thus it ... -
Does Obesity Affect Early Results after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting?

(2017-10)This research was carried out to investigate key physicochemical parameters of milk samples collected from camel, cow and goat in Jigjiga district, Eastern Ethiopia. Sixty fresh milk samples were collected purposively from ... -
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 ... -
Effects of feeding frequency on growth performance and digestive enzyme activity of sex-reversed Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758)
(Elsevier, 2017-10)The effects were investigated of different feeding frequenciesdone meal at 0600 h, two meals (at either 0600 h and 1200 h or 0600 h and 1800 h) and three meals daily (at 0600 h, 1200 h and 1800 h)don the growth performance, ... -
