Various factors lead to increased woody species density, biomass and cover (so-called ‘bush encroachment’) that influence ecosystem functioning services in semi-arid rangelands. Ultimately, bush encroachment has adverse effects on human livelihoods. An understanding of bush-encroached rangelands could contribute improved management, conservation restoration. This study, therefore, aimed determi...

In recent years, policymakers have proposed various fiscal policies to spur long-run economic growth through increased capital formation. The Bush Administration, for example, proposed lowering the capital gains tax rate. The Clinton Administration, among other measures in its economic package, proposed reinstituting the investment tax credit. These proposals stem from heightened concerns that ...

This year, 2004, will see political realignments that will affect gun-owner rights for years to come. The current Bush administration has been a period of inertia in terms of advancing new controls, but this is largely due to the administration being distracted by the War on Terror. During his campaign for the presidency in 2000, Bush favored extending the “assault-weapons” ban of 1994 that sun...

Warpage and shrinkage control are important factors in proving the quality of thin-wall parts in injection modeling process. In the present paper, grey relational analysis was used in order to optimize these two parameters in manufacturing plastic bush of articulated garden tractor. The material used in the plastic bush is Derlin 500. The input parameters in the process were selected according ...

This thesis describes the development of statistical models to determine the relationships between vegetation indices and bush bean plant nitrogen stress levels thereby help early detection of bush bean nutritional stress. Two approaches, statistical analysis by SAS procedure and genetic algorithm (GA) were employed. Polynomial regression was used to fit data under all possible two-bands combin...
