This study examined the issues on the gagging of Nigerian press with obnoxious laws and it investigated the rate at which the Nigerian media had been prevented from expressing opinion freely by dictatorial leaders who enacted draconian laws to suppress facts and figures. Also, the study identified the major activities of Nigerian press in fighting authoritarianism and in upholding the philosoph...

Implicit interactions represent an important research frontier in interaction design. Whereas traditional interaction design has focused on explicit interactions, where the use of computers and interactive products rely on explicit input and output, implicit interactions occur without the behest or awareness of the user. This article outlines implicit interactions as an emerging area of applied...

The antibandwidth problem is to label vertices of a n-vertex graph injectively by 1, 2, 3, . . . n, so that the minimum difference between labels of adjacent vertices is maximised. The problem is motivated by the obnoxious facility location problem, radiocolouring, work and game scheduling and is dual to the well known bandwidth problem. We prove exact results for the antibandwidth of complete ...

FrACT unfortunately has too often been used without calibration. Thus from version 3.2 onwards a strong warning message appears on every start unless you have changed both the observer distance entry and the length of the blue calibration ruler (see preceding paragraph). Both are defaulted to numbers that are unlikely to occur in practice (399 cm and 169 mm). As long as one of these remains at ...

In this paper we present new algorithmic solutions for several constrained geometric server placement problems. We consider the problems of computing the 1-center and obnoxious 1-center of a set of line segments, constrained to lie on a line segment, and the problem of computing the K-median of a set of points, constrained to lie on a line. The presented algorithms have applications in many typ...

Emex australis Steinh. is a prolific winter annual which has assumed the status of an obnoxious weed. It grows in wide range of climatic conditions and has a potential to spread to even more diverse habitats. The meiotic system of the plant is studied to ascertain the ability to spread. It was found that the vigor to adapt to different habitats is provided both by its breeding and meiotic syste...
