ABSTRACT The study assessed the use of rural radio as agricultural information dissemination tool among farmers in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State. The specific objectives were to: describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, identify rural and agricultural programmes normally aired on radio, find out the level of patronage of the programmes, identify the convenien...

I summarize recent results from radio observations of high redshift star forming galaxies, discuss radio continuum emission as a measure of star formation rate, and consider future capabilities at cm to IR wavelengths. 1 Radio surveys to μJy sensitivity Source counts based on low frequency surveys of the sky with Jy sensitivity showed a significant departure from a Euclidean, non-evolving sourc...

In the first part of the paper, I propose a framework for focus and question interpretation. While both serve to introcude alternatives, I offer reasons that the two kinds of alternatives arise on different levels of semantic interpretation. The resulting approach can correctly account for all possible constellations of focus and questions, including intervention effects, without the use of typ...

in this paper, we study wsn design, as a multi-objective optimization problem using ga technique. we study the effects of ga parameters including population size, selection and crossover method and mutation probability on the design. choosing suitable parameters is a trade-off between different network criteria and characteristics. type of deployment, effect of network size, radio communication...

T he UK Parliament recently debated and then approved legislation to allow mitochondrial replacement (MR) to be used in the clinic. However, we are concerned that some of the science of MR has been misunderstood or otherwise given only fleeting consideration. We set out our arguments below and offer a way forward to ensure that MR can safely deliver the health benefits it promises for those suf...

1 Who knoWs a utility representation Repeatedly it is alleged that this or that theory concerns a decision maker maximizing some utility function. But, as I have been at pains to discuss, the representation is not a creature of the decision maker but of the scientist studying the decision maker’s behavior “The representation theorems go in only one direction: from behavioral and structural prop...

The terahertz (THz) frequency bands are being explored as a potential means of enabling an ultra-high transmission capacity in sixth-generation (6G) radio-access networks (RAN) because higher frequencies offer broader bandwidths. When utilized wireless communications, high-frequency electromagnetic waves impose several physical restrictions. To overcome these difficulties and to expand the serv...
