This study explores the determinant fishing performance in Comoro. We estimate a model with DOLS specification backed by Engle-Granger test for cointegration order to confirm long-run relationship. paper identifies pricing policy as key of and, encourages efficient government support based on clear understanding needs fishers Comoros reduce problem and enhance current catch levels that maintain...

Planar concentrators are used in the current manuscript to improve solar PV system parameters (electrical energy, array yield, and irradiation). Additionally, study temperature (both ambient of modules), performance ratio, efficiency. The is situated at Al-Taji town Baghdad. These improvements achieved by using planar increase radiation (made aluminium metal). results demonstrated a 21% yearly ...

BACKGROUND In Sierra Leone, children ages 6-59 months receive twice-yearly vitamin A supplementation (VAS) through Maternal and Child Health Week (MCHW) events. VAS coverage in 2011 was calculated using government tally sheets of vitamin A capsule distribution and outdated population projections from the 2004 census. We conducted a national post-event coverage (PEC) survey to validate coverage ...

OBJECTIVES To describe the prevalence of asthma and asthma variants in schoolchildren from Recife in 2002, and to compare these data with data from 1994-95; to analyze the relationship between maternal schooling and the presence of asthma or worsening asthma; and to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the yearly prevalence of wheezing as an asthma indicator. METHODS Cross-sectional study. A p...

Biodiesel is a biofuel produced from vegetable oils and animal fats. The study describes the solar-assisted biodiesel production linseed oil parameter optimization using Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal approach response surface methodology (RSM). A solar paraboloid dish of collector area 6.1 m2 concentration ratio approx. 200 used for transesterification process. Yearly daily radiation data shows that...

Introduction. Endoscopy of the colon and rectum is increasingly used. Aim of the Study. All consecutive endoscopies of the colon and rectum were studied in order to assess the yearly prevalence of significant endoscopic diagnoses. Methods. All consecutive endoscopies of the colon and rectum were included. Endoscopies were done with endoscopes of Olympus. Significant endoscopic diagnoses were de...

Understanding the economic effects of long-term and gradual climate change, when people have time to adapt, is a central question in the current debate on climate change. Empirical evidence, however, is scarce. I study the economic effects of climate change over a period of 250 years during the Little Ice Age, a historical episode of climate change, between 1500 and 1750. Historians have argued...

Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of gold nanoparticles with different shapes, including the zero-dimensional nanospheres, one dimensional nanorods, and two-dimensional nanoplates. Compared to zero or one dimensional nanostructures, the synthesis of two-dimensional nanostructures in high yield has always been more involved, often requiring complex and timeconsuming steps such as mor...

Grain characteristic, chemical composition, and functional properties of rye were measured in 19 different cultivars grown in one location in up to 3 years. The cultivars included 8 adapted hybrids, 7 adapted population cultivars, and 4 nonadapted population cultivars. The results showed a significant influence of both harvest year and genotype on grain characteristics, chemical composition, an...
