Dioscorea praehensilis Benth. is a semi-wild yam species and valuable source of resistance trait genes. To access the agronomic tuber quality performance, eleven quantitative phenotypic traits were used to discriminate identify promising accessions among 162 D. collected in Ghana. Significant high genetic variability (p < 0.001) for all was found evaluated accessions. Moderate broad-sense he...

Wireless sensor networks are often modeled in terms of a dense deployment of smart sensor nodes in a two-dimensional region. Given a node deployment, the critical geometric graph (CGG) over these locations (i.e., the connected geometric graph (GG) with the smallest radius) is a useful structure since it provides the most accurate proportionality between hop-count and Euclidean distance. Hence, ...

In this research, twenty genotypes of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) were studied that were collected from different geographical regions. The experiment was conducted as a randomized complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications in Greenhouse. Data was collected on morphological features, yield and components of yield of cucumber which include: Total fruit yield per pickling, Fruit number pe...

Raman, NMR and EPR spectroscopy and electrophysiology methods were used to investigate the excitability and the packaging of myelin lipid layers and its viscosity during nerve exposure to pronase E. It was established that during exposure of nerve to pronase E the action potential (AP) conduction velocity and the Schwann cell (SC) (or myelin) water ordering increases, but the nerve myelin refra...
