    • Western honey bee management for crop pollination 

      Toni, C.H.; Djossa, B.A.; Yedomonhan, H.; Zannou, E.T.; Mensah, G.A. (2018-02)
      This literature review seeks to provide an outlook of the use of Western honeybee for crop pollination around the world. It was prepared by collecting information on the use of managed honey bees, Apis mellifera in crop ...

    • What Is the Best Surgical Approach for Bilateral Pulmonary Hydatid Cysts in Children? 

      Baram, Aram (Scientific Research, 2015-03)
      Introduction: The most common site for hydatid cysts in children is the lungs while in adult hepatic cysts are predominant. Bilateral pulmonary involvement is relatively rare and its surgical management is poorly described ...

    • When Does My Future Begin? Student Debt and Intragenerational Mobility 

      Elliott, William; Rauscher, Emily (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 ...

    • When Utility Jumps: The Value of Having Cash in the Hand 

      Rotthoff, Kurt W.; Coffey, Bentley (Scientific Research, 2018-02)
      Different theoretical explanations have been developed for seemingly inconsistent actions that deal with varying levels of risk and time. We propose a simple model of utility that unifies these seemingly separate ...

    • Why Judaism and Islam Prohibit Eating Pork and Consuming Blood as a Food? 

      Brondz, Ilia (Scientific Research, 2018-06)
      To date, many influential religious leaders from both Judaism and Islam have attempted to provide answers to the question of why both these religions prohibit eating pork. The most straightforward answer is that the Lord ...

    • Why the Bible Cannot and Should Not Be Taken Literally 

      Firestone, Randall S. (Scientific Research, 2014-08)
      This paper argues that there are at least five reasons why the claim that the Bible is to be taken literally defies logic or otherwise makes no sense, and why literalists are in no position to claim that they have the ...

    • A Wideband Circularly Polarized Patch Antenna for 60 GHz Wireless Communications 

      Zhou, Rongguo; Liu, Duixian; Xin, Hao (Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-07)
      This paper presents the design of a fully packaged 60 GHz wideband patch antenna incorporating an air cavity and a fused silica superstrate. Circular polarization (CP) is realized by introducing a diagonal slot at the ...

    • WiMAX System Simulation and Performance Analysis under the Influence of Jamming 

      Jha, Rakesh; Patel, Hardik; Dalal, Upena D.; Vishal, Wankhede A. (Scientific Research Publishing, 2010-07)
      This paper presents simulation of WiMAX based system under jamming. The performance of the system was found out to greatly differ with the use of different jamming signals, allowing central areas to be identified, where ...
