This study compared farmers’ rating of extension effectiveness in technology dissemination to the level of adoption. In conducting the study, 180 farmers participating in extension programme in Cross-River State were randomly selected through multi-stage random sampling technique. The data collected through a structured questionnaire were analyzed using the t-test of significance of difference ...

Agricultural Extension services are among the most important rural services in developing countries. The services are considered to be a key driver of technological change and productivity growth in agriculture. In Kenya, like in the rest of the developing economies, agricultural extension has largely been delivered through supply–driven approaches. Due to perceived low impact of agricultural e...

We construct one-dimensional potentials V (x) so that if H = ? d 2 dx 2 + V (x) on L 2 (R), then H has purely singular spectrum; but for a dense set D, ' 2 D implies that j(';e ?itH ')j C ' jtj ?1=2 ln(jtj) for jtj > 2. This implies the spectral measures have Hausdorr dimension one and also, following an idea of Malozemov-Molchanov, provides counterexamples to the direct extension of the theore...

It is an open question whether the linear extension complexity of the Cartesian product of two polytopes P,Q is the sum of the extension complexities of P and Q. We give an affirmative answer to this question for the case that one of the two polytopes is a pyramid.
