When Does My Future Begin? Student Debt and Intragenerational Mobility
(Scientific Research, 2018-04)Higher education financing policy largely assumes that college graduates enjoy equal opportunities for economic mobility regardless of how they finance their degrees. To examine this contention, this study uses data from ... -
Short-Run and Long-Run Co-Movements in the Income-Consumption Relationship
(Scientific Research, 2018-04)The study uses the cointegration and common cycle analysis to test whether there are short-run and long-run co-movement relationships between incomes and varies consumption expenditure variables. The analysis aims ... -
Simplifying differential equations concerning degenerate Bernoulli and Euler numbers
(Elsevier, 2018-04)In the paper, the authors significantly and meaningfully simplify two families of nonlinear ordinary differential equations in terms of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds. -
Biological Activities of Resveratrol against Cancer
(2018-04)Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenolic compound naturally found in grapes, peanuts, and berries. Considerable research has been performed to determine the benefits of RSV against various human diseases, especially cancer. ... -
A Review of Pediatric Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Current Guidelines
(Scientific Research, 2018-04)Dyslipidemia is a highly prevalent condition, and includes a collection of diseases that cause increased levels of plasma triglycerides and/or cholestrol, or decreased levels of HDL-C, with a prototypical disease being ... -
Determinants of Vertical Integration: Investment Efficiency, Product Differentiation and Firm Size
(Scientific Research, 2018-04)This study examines the determinants of Merger and Acquisition (M & A) when manufacturing firms integrate with retailing firms. We examine a manufacturing duopoly in which each upstream firm sells the output to its ... -
Impact of rotavirus vaccination on rotavirus hospitalisationrates among a resource-limited rural population in Mbita,Western Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2018-04)A two-dose oral monovalent rotavirus vaccine (RV1) was introduced into the KenyanNational Immunization Program in July 2014. We assessed trends in hospitalisation for rotavirus-specific acute gastroenteritis (AGE) and strain ... -
Effect of liquid nitrogen pre-treatment on various types of wool waste fibres for biogas production
(Elsevier, 2018-04)This study investigated the role of liquid nitrogen (LN2) in increasing microbial accessibility of wool proteins for biogas production. It involves a mechanical size reduction of four different types of raw wool fibres, ... -
Biodiesel Production from Neem Seed (Azadirachta indica) Oil Using Calcium Oxide as Heterogeneous Catalyst
(2018-04)Biofuel is an alternative and environment friendly source of energy, originated by the use of fossil fuels and have led to a notable growing demand from the last few decades. As biodiesel are usually acquired from renewable ... -
The Serendipity Theorem for an Endogenous Open Economy Growth Model
(Scientific Research, 2018-04)A Samuelsonian serendipity theorem for an endogenous growth model is derived. The formula for optimal population growth rate deviates from those of the model with exogenous population growth rates in a third best ... -
From Second Chance Learners and Second-Class Citizens to Competent Addiction Practitioners
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018-04-28)The idea that clinicians who are in recovery from addiction or substance abuse working as addiction practitioners seems deeply counter-intuitive. Compounding this is the problem that many have incurred criminal records, so ... -
A Specific Periodic Table for Chemistry of Organic, Semi-Organic and Inorganic Elements: Compatibility with the Even-Odd Rule,the Number of Electrons and the Isoelectronicity Rule
(Scientific Research, 2018-05)Following the introduction of the new even-odd and isoelectronic rules and definitions affecting the understanding of electronic structure and bonds, the author has thought necessary to summarize understandings in the ... -
Free Will, Subjectivity and the Physics of the Nervous System
(Scientific Research, 2018-05)We want to stress the irreducibility of subjectivity to a pure physical process and, related to this the existence of an actual free will. A discussion on the existence of free will goes back at least to the Middle Ages. ... -
