Contractions in production volume and supply chain disruption experienced by all economies recent years caused the Covid-19 epidemic or geopolitical tensions together with factors such as food safety climate change have been effect instability agricultural product prices. For these reasons, compulsory transformations sectors disruptions markets are also observed sector. This study investigates ...

his study examined the long-run relationship between Nigerian exports and imports between 1960 and 2014. Exports and imports were disaggregated into oil and non-oil components. The application of the Johansen, Bound testing and the Hansen parameter instability test cointegration techniques revealed that Nigerian exports and imports at the aggregate and disaggregated level are cointegrated with ...

Electrical coupling has been discovered extensively between FS neurons in the neocortex. They are also coupled by bi-directional or uni-directional inhibitory synapses. However, the relationship between collective activity in interneuronal circuits and different functions of their coupling have not been revealed perfectly. To clarify the above problem, we investigate bifurcation phenomena in co...

The main aim of this paper is to introduce automated generation of scripted dialogue as a worthwhile topic of investigation. In particular the fact that scripted dialogue involves two layers of communication, i.e., uni-directional communication between the author and the audience of a scripted dialogue and bi-directional pretended communication between the characters featuring in the dialogue, ...

In this paper we consider various spatial relationships that are of general interest for retrieving data from multimedia databases. We present a uni ed representation of spatial objects for both topological and directional relations. Such a representation is based on Allen's temporal interval algebra. We also present a set of spatial inference rules, which allow us to make heterogeneous spatial...

In this study, we present an empirical model of the equatorial electron pitch angle distributions (PADs) in outer radiation belt based on full data set collected by Magnetic Electron Ion Spectrometer (MagEIS) instrument onboard Van Allen Probes 2012–2019. The PADs are fitted with a combination first, third and fifth sine harmonics. resulting equation resolves all PAD types found (pancake, flat-...

A thin flat rectangular plate supported on its edges and subjected to in-plane loading exhibits stable post-buckling behaviour. However, the introduction of a nonlinear (softening) elastic foundation may cause the response to become unstable. Here the post-buckling of such a structure is investigated and several important phenomena are identified, including the transition of patterns from strip...
