Physico-chemical properties of three Fadama farm site soils located in Ado-Ekiti, IkereEkiti and Ifaki Ekiti, all in Ekiti State, Nigeria, were evaluated. The parameters evaluated for were pH, particle size distribution, free Fe2O3 and Al2O3, organic matter, base saturation percentage and total exchangeable bases in eleven zones and thirty-three soil samples. The pH values showed that the soils...

Levels of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium were determined in plant organs (bud, flowers, fruit, seed, leaves, stems, roots, cobs, styles, shaft, grains and efflorescences) of three Fadama farms located in Ifaki-Ekiti, Ado-Ekiti and Ikere-Ekiti of Ekiti State, Nigeria. The highest levels of Mg, K, Na and Ca were obtained in the bud of Hibiscus esculentus with respective values (ppm dry ...

In the computational linguistics area, after Kay's adopting of feature structures and their unification to manipulate syntactic structures[KAY79], a lot of unification-based grammar formalisms have been issued such as FUG[KAY82] , LFG[BRE82] , GPSG[GAZ85] , PATRII[SHI86], HPSG[P0L87], etc.. Nowadays, an unification of feature structures is known as one of the most effective and powerful means t...

Studying task modulations of brain connectivity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is critical to understand brain functions that support cognitive and affective processes. Existing methods such as psychophysiological interaction (PPI) and dynamic causal modeling (DCM) usually implicitly assume that the connectivity patterns are stable over a block-designed task with identical s...
