Revisiting the Catalogue Cards in University Libraries in Nigeria
(Scientific Research, 2015-03)The card catalogues are neglected in the university libraries in Nigeria because of the introduction of OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) which is rarely seen in most of university libraries. After conducting a ... -
The Risk Factors of Intensive Care Unit Admittance during First Attack of Acute Pancreatitis
(Scientific Research, 2012-12)Background: A proportion of patients with acute pancreatitis develop severe organ dysfunction requiring admittance in an intensive care unit. Patient characteristics associated with ICU admittance were evaluated in this ... -
Risks to Financial Stability and Monetary Policy: Rules or Discretion?
(Scientific Research, 2017-06)We evaluate monetary policy which is conducted in a way that addresses financial stability as an explicit monetary policy objective using a simple game theoretic model analysing the strategic interaction between a central ... -
Risky Sexual Behavior and Its Determinants among Orphan and Vulnerable Children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
(Scientific Research, 2016-12)Back Ground: Risky sexual behavior among orphans and vulnerable children and its associated physical, psychological and social consequences is becoming a major public health concern globally. Objectives: To assess the ... -
RNA Wave for the HIV Therapy: Foods, Stem Cells and the RNA Information Gene
(Scientific Research, 2013-06)The microRNA (miRNA) gene is small RNA molecule, approximate 20 nucleotides (nts) in length, and also the miRNA is information in a cell as well as the mobile genetic information; therefore, when only one kind of tumor ... -
Role of Arthropods in Maintaining Soil Fertility
(2013)In terms of species richness, arthropods may represent as much as 85% of the soil fauna. They comprise a large proportion of the meso- and macrofauna of the soil. Within the litter/soil system, five groups are chiefly ... -
The Role of Entrepreneurship in Economic Development in Saudi Arabia
(OMICS Group, 2016)One of the key objectives of modern economics is to determine factors that influence the economic development. This paper, therefore, seeks to discuss entrepreneurship as one of the factors that influence the economy of ... -
The Role of Hole Traps in DNA
(2014-07)Two types of whole trap have been discussed for DNA. One type was introduced by Reynaud et al. (Jour. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 3953) to account for the properties of whole conduction in an adeninethymine (AT) DNA. In their ... -
The Role of Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Sustainability Transitions: A Conceptual Synthesis against the Background of the Multi-Level Perspective
(MDPI AG - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2015-11)This paper conceptually synthesizes prior studies on sustainable entrepreneurship against the background of the multi-level perspective.It thereby relates separate streams of literature on sustainable entrepreneurship, ... -
The role of varietal attributes on adoption of improved seed varieties: the case of sorghum in Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2014)This paper examined the effect of variety attributes on adoption of improved sorghum varieties in Kenya. Using data from a random sample of 140 farmers, a multivariate probit was used to identify variety-specific drivers of ... -
Root Reconstruction with Total Replacement of Ascending Aorta Using Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest and Selective Cerebral Perfusion for Moderately Dilated Distal Ascending Aorta
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)Objective: We have occasionally encountered a moderately dilated distal ascending aorta while reconstructing an aortic root. We describe reconstruction of an extended root and ascending aorta using our current strategy. ... -
Salt stress induced effects on biochemical parameters in etiolated maize leaf segments during greening
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019-07-08)Treatment of etiolated maize leaf segments with 0-300 mM NaCl during greening decreased the osmotic potential of leaf sap significantly. Na+ content of the leaf tissue increased significantly on supplying different ... -
Sampling and Reconstruction of Zero-Order Hold Signals by Parallel RC Filters
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2011)In this work we describe a reconstruction algorithm for zero-order hold (ZOH) waveforms measured by a parallel sam-pling scheme. In the method the ZOH signal is fed to a parallel network consisting of resistor-capacitor ... -
Savings-Growth Nexus in Ghana: Cointegration and Causal Relationship Analyses
(Scientific Research, 2017-02)The wide range of controversies surrounding the direction of causality between savings and economic growth necessitated this study. The study was intended to investigate the relationship between gross domestic savings ... -
