Genetic and environmental factors that affect the formation of glutenin macropolymer (GMP) particles were investigated by growing Lance 5C 10, Lance 2C12, Warigal 5C10 and Warigal 2C12 lines under widely differing temperature regimes in greenhouse conditions. The GMP characteristics and mixing properties of flour extracted from mature wheat kernels were systematically studied. The amount of GMP...

Crimes and corruptions are practices that gradually cripple the economy of a nation most especially in Nigeria. Nigerian government has strived hard to reduce these acts perpetrated by the citizens. This is evident in the struggles of Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and Independence Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to reduce frauds in both public and...

We enhance the security of Schnorr blind signatures against the novel one-more-forgery of Schnorr [Sc01] and Wagner [W02] which is possible even if the discrete logarithm is hard to compute. We show two limitations of this attack. Firstly, replacing the group G by the s-fold direct product G×s increases the work of the attack, for a given number of signer interactions, to the s-power while incr...

The concept of admissibility with respect to clustering algorithms was introduced by Fisher and Van Ness (1971). They defined types of admissibility of an algorithm and indicated the relationships between these admissibilities and popular clustering algorithms. In recent years, admissibility with respect to space distortion (See, Lance and Williams, 1967) has been proposed by Chen and Van Ness ...
