The theory describing nuclear magnetic resonance cross-polarization using adiabatic sweeps of the rf spin-lock fields through the Hartmann–Hahn matching condition is extended to small homonuclear coupled systems of the type INS . In particular, the connection is made between such experiments and the associated theoretical limits on polarization transfer—the ‘‘unitary bounds’’— demonstrating tha...

The uni-polar orthogonal codes, with code length 'n' and code weight 'w' having auto-correlation and cross-correlation constraints equal to 1, can be designed with proposed algorithm. This proposed scheme design all the possible groups containing maximum number of orthogonal codes as per Johnson bounds. In this case, each of the designed groups is independent with other groups of uni-polar orth...

The technical efficiency involved in cocoa production in Cross River State was estimated using the stochastic frontier production function analysis. The effects of some selected socio- economic characteristics of the farmers on the efficiency indices were also estimated. The study relied upon primary data generated from interviewing cocoa farmers using a set of structured questionnaire. A multi...

Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites, or abasic sites, which are a common type of endogenous DNA damage, can forge interstrand DNA-DNA cross-links via reaction with the exocyclic amino group on a nearby 2΄-deoxyguanosine or 2΄-deoxyadenosine in the opposite strand. Here, we utilized a shuttle vector method to examine the efficiency and fidelity with which a reduced dG-AP cross-link-containing plasm...

We propose a way of using DEA cross-efficiency evaluation in portfolio selection. While cross efficiency is an approach developed for peer evaluation, we improve its use in portfolio selection. In addition to (average) cross-efficiency scores, we suggest to examine the variations of cross-efficiencies, and to incorporate two statistics of cross-efficiencies into the mean-variance formulation of...

the genetics and mechanism of malathion resistance in the adults of an. stephensi (ban-s), was studied. nine successive generations of malathion selection in the adults resulted in an increase in ltso of about 3-fold. the crossing experiments indicated that the resistance is inherited as partially dominant character with no indication of sex linkage. the results of back-crosses suggested that p...

The capture efficiency of the small aerosol particle is strongly influenced by the structure of fibrous layers. This study presents particle deposition and dendrite formation on different arrangements of binary fibers. 2-D numerical simulation is performed using the open source software of OpenFOAM. In the instantaneous filtration of a single fiber, obtained results are in good agreement with th...

In order to evaluate genetic diversity of grain yield, nitrogen uptake efficiency and selecting superior varieties, a factorial experiment with the based on Complete Blocks design with four replications was carried out in Saatlo agricultural research station, six corn genotypes (single cross 301,370,540,700,701 and Back cross) and three amounts of nitrogen fertilizer (urea) (27 as a control, 11...
