The aim of this article is to examine the possibility that a market demand function (curve) might not be monotonically decreasing in its entire domain according to the consumer theory neoclassical as assumed by the law of demand (for normal goods). This may happen due to limited rationality of (some) consumers and the anchor price effect. When a pr...

The present research investigates raw oil (Jatropha and coconut oil Fuel), which lies in the edible and non-edible vegetable oils category. We have a set opinion to be taken as potential alternative fuels for C.I. engines and are choosing to search out their quality being employed as a future fuel. The most effective distinction between these two v...

An experimental trial was carried out during two successive crop years, (2015/2016 and 2016/2017). The study focused on an F1 generation of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), composed of twenty hybrids, from a complete diallel cross between autochthones and introduced cultivars. The aim is to bring together in one combination the maximum of favorable gen...

Zinc is an essential nutrient that is naturally available in most foods. Deficiency of this micronutrient in particular can cause a number of health complications. Zinc deficiency during infancy is more troublesome as rapid growth and nutrient relied development takes place in this period. Most severe outcomes of zinc deficiency during infancy are ...

In an agrarian economy like Ghana, the need to understand climate change is as paramount as finding solutions to address the challenges of climate change. While a large body of literature has focused on exploring the impact of climate change, very few studies in Ghana have attempted to expand our knowledge on the extent of climate change across eco...

Edge detection is the prior stage to object recognition and considered as a pillar for image processing task. It is a process to detect such locations from images in terms of pixels where their intensity changing is abruptly. There are many types of images such as medical images, satellite images, articular images, industrial images, general purpos...

A growing number of corruption cases in Indonesia have raised awareness of corruption's destructive effect on economic development, although no existing studies have considered the threshold value at which corruption hampers economic growth. This study assesses the effect of corruption on economic growth by taking a nonlinear approach to determine ...

The cancer-protective ability of hesperidin was investigated on 7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced skin carcinogenesis in Swiss albino mice. Topical application of DMBA+TPA on mice skin led to 100% tumour incidence and rise in average number of tumours. Administration of different doses of...

For an equation representing creep strain-time relationship curves of high temperature materials, the equations which represent from the primary creep region to the tertiary creep region using exponential functions such as the modified θ projection [3] have already been proposed. However, the estimated values by the modified θ projection don't nece...
