Agricultural extension workers’ service has been placed as the central pattern of agricultural transformation in general and smallholder farmers in particular. Due largely to this commensurately known trend, identifying factors that determine farmers’ access to extension workers’ service and the effect of the service on crop yield was found to be imperative. Cross sectional data was collected t...

One of the ways to ensure food safety is to educate the public. Of the organizations providing food safety education in the United States (U.S.), the Cooperative Extension System (CES) is one of the most reliable. The effectiveness CES programs depends not only on what is being taught but also on how it is taught. Both a needs-based curriculum and how that curriculum is delivered are equally im...

The $q$-Onsager algebra $O_q$ is presented by two generators $W_0$, $W_1$ and relations, called the $q$-Dolan/Grady relations. Recently Baseilhac Koizumi introduced a current $\mathcal A_q$ for $O_q$. Soon afterwards, Shigechi gave presentation of We show that these give PBW basis A_q$. Using this basis, we isomorphic to $O_q \otimes \mathbb F \lbrack z_1, z_2, \ldots \rbrack$, where $\mathbb F...

The Onsager Lie algebra O is often used to study integrable lattice models. universal enveloping of admits a q-deformation Oq called the q-Onsager algebra. Recently, an was introduced alternating central extension Oq. We introduce that roughly described by following two analogies: (i) as Oq; (ii) O. call give comprehensive description
