Many recent studies of object-based attention (OBA) have suggested that the underlying units of attention are often discrete objects, through which attention readily spreads. However, the relationship of such experiments to the basic visual features (‘textons’) which guide the segmentation of visual scenes into ‘objects’ remains largely unexplored. Here we bridge this gap for one of the most co...

BACKGROUND Few studies in Africa have explored in detail the ability of output-based aid (OBA) voucher programs to increase access to gender-based violence recovery (GBVR) services. METHODS A qualitative study was conducted in 2010 and involved: (i) in-depth interviews (IDIs) with health managers, service providers, voucher management agency (VMA) managers and (ii) focus group discussions (FG...

A field experiment was conducted during 2021 raining season to investigate effect time on growth and three cultivars at Prince Abubakar Audu University Research Demonstration farm, Anyigba. experiments which were l...

Resolving three environmental challenges simultaneously—recycling bone waste, aggregation, oxidation of bare nZVI and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene (BTEX) contamination—was conducted by fabricating a highly stable efficient activator peroxymonosulfate. In this work, novel heterogeneous catalyst, ostrich ash-supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (Fe0-OBA) prepared pyrolysis animal bone...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Various magnetic resonance (MR) measurements have been proposed to aid in differentiating between progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD); however, these methods have not been compared directly. The aim of this study was to determine which measurement method exhibits the highest power to differentiate between PSP and IPD. METHODS Br...
