This article explores the role of Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) in development and relief work society, assessing whether it is guided by orthodoxy or orthopraxis wake human rights violations. It traces history SDA’s involvement Zimbabwe’s development, humanitarian processes, checking its stance on prevailing abuses. delineates not apolitical non-social activism due to influence Millerites’ theol...

High-dimensional data requires scalable algorithms. We propose and analyze three scalable and related algorithms for semi-supervised discriminant analysis (SDA). These methods are based on Krylov subspace methods which exploit the data sparsity and the shift-invariance of Krylov subspaces. In addition, the problem definition was improved by adding centralization to the semi-supervised setting. ...

The maximum likelihood (ML) detection is the optimal detection method for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. The normal K-best Sphere Decoding Algorithm (SDA) can guarantee a fixed throughput, but it induces a large bit error rate (BER) degradation. In order to achieve close-to-ML performance, the K value needs to be sufficiently large. Thus, it needs large computation...

Phospholipids containing PUFAs are important vehicles for their delivering to the targeted tissues. In our research project we established enzymatic methods for the enrichment of natural egg-yolk PC with n-3 PUFAs. Instead of synthetic PUFA ethyl esters, the new strategy was developed using polyunsaturated fatty acids enriched fraction (PUFA-EF) from cod liver oil as the natural acyl donors. PU...

In present investigation the biological leaching of aluminum by isolated fungi from red mud, the main waste product of the alkaline extraction of Al from bauxite was studied. Biological leaching experiments were carried out using indigenous, date and orange specimen fungi, Aspergillus Niger, Penicillium simplicissimum notatum. Savored Dextrose chloramphenicol Agar (SDA) was used as medium for t...

A reasonable and adequate understanding of spatial association between geographical variables is the basis statistical inference geocomputation, such as prediction. Most current models for exploring are constructed using data at sample locations. In this study, approaches observations locations defined first dimension (FDA). However, information outside usually missing in models. To address iss...

ABSTRACT Lentinus tigrinus is a significant edible and medicinal mushroom. It was collected from University of the Punjab, Lahore under Morus tree. For domestication this wild species, its three parameters i.e., culturability, spawn production cultivation potential were assessed using different synthetic culture media substrates. Completely randomized design used to determine all effects evalua...

Quiet standing balance and postural control are often assessed by drawing information from center of pressure (COP) data collected with a force platform. Efforts to better understand the underlying processes involved in postural control have lead to methods that examine the dynamic or stochastic characteristics of the COP. One method that has recently gained popularity is Stabilogram Diffusion ...

Efficacy of three different concentrations (5, 10 and 15 mg/ml) of dry flower powder of E. splendens and L. nepetaefolia was tested on the growth of aflatoxin-producing toxigenic strains of fungi A. flavus (NCBT 101) and A. parasiticus (NCBT 128) in Sabouraud dextrose agar medium (SDA). Maximum (75%) inhibition of growth of A. flavus was seen at 15 mg/ml concentration of E. splendens flower dry...

New NiO-ZrO(2) nanocrystals (MNZ-1) with mesoscopic self-assembly have been synthesized by using a non-ionic surfactant as the structure directing agent (SDA) via evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA) method. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), N(2) sorption study and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) image analyses revealed the cubic structure, mesoporosity and mesoscopic self-assembly o...
