The study examined the factors influencing farm record keeping among small scale poultry farmers in zone A axis of the Kogi ADP comprising of -Yagba- East, Yagba-West, Kabba-Bunnu, Ijumu, and Mopamuro Local Government Areas. Using a three stage random sampling technique, 120 poultry farmers spread across the 5 LGAs within the zone A of Kogi ADP in Kogi State were randomly selected. With the aid...

In the title compound, C(14)H(18)N(2)O, both the spiro-linked five-membered rings adopt envelope conformations, with a C atom as the flap in one ring and an N atom in the other. The dihedral angle between the two four-atom planes is 80.46 (8)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate C(4) chains propagating in [010].

Warming and drought pose a serious threat to tropical forest. Yet the extent of this threat is uncertain, given the lack of methods to evaluate the forest tree cover changes under future climate predicted by complex dynamic vegetation models. Here we develop an empirical approach based on the observed climate space of tropical trees to estimate the maximum potential tropical tree cover (MPTC) i...

The title compound, C(7)H(10)O(6), was obtained from a regioselective enzyme-catalysed acyl-ation of d-ribono-1,4-lactone. The five-membered ring of the acyl-ated sugar shows an envelope conformation. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonds, forming a one-dimensional polymeric structure parallel to [010]. In addition, packing analysis shows stacking alo...

In the title compound, [Sn(CH(3))(3)(C(7)H(3)F(2)O(2))](n), the central Sn atom is coordinated by two O atoms from the anion and three methyl C atoms in a polymeric fashion owing to the presence of bidentate bridging carboxyl-ate ligands. The five-coordinate Sn atom exists in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with the mol-ecules connected by weak C-H⋯F inter-moleclar inter-actions, form...

In the title compound, C(17)H(20)BrClNO(4)P, inter-molecular C-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(10) dimers linked through O-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen bonds, which form centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(16) dimers. All these hydrogen bonds form chains along [010]. In addition, the crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. The very weak intramolecular N-H⋯...
