Nilavarai Water-wells (nilaavara Water-well)
Date: 24-10-2015 13:23Nilavarai Water Well (Nilaavara Water-well)
Nilavarai Water-well is a natural sinkhole. It is a cave or karst that has formed underground through the percolation of rain water. It is a collection of caves or karsts interconnected with natural canals, veins, cavities and pores. The connections spread far distances according to many investigations. Some in the area say t ... read full abstract ››
Variability Of Effective-earth Radius Factor
Date: 21-10-2015 05:55For proper radio link design and for any location where propagation is intended, an accurate prediction of the distribution of effective earth radius factor (k-factor) is required. Traditionally, a median value of 4/3 is assumed for communication design purposes, but in reality the true k-factor values differ for different locations globally. In this study, the mean diurnal, s ... read full abstract ››
Genotypic Characterization And Sequencing Of Enterotoxins From B. Thuringiensis Strains Isolated On Amazon State, Brazil
Date: 17-10-2015 07:40Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram-positive bacterium commonly used in the tropical disease vectors and agriculture pragues control. Despite of its use both agriculture and human health, this bacterium can be enterotoxins producer that are also present in a few Bacillus cereus strains, emphasizing the non-haemolytic enterotoxin (NHE), haemolysin BL (HBL) and ... read full abstract ››

Local Conservation Approaches Towards Sustainable Management Of Threatened Mangrove Ceriops Decandra (griff.) Ding Hou At Calatagan, Batangas, Philippines
Date: 08-09-2015 08:21Ceriops decandra is a mangrove species under the Family Rhizophoraceae. Its conservation status is nearly threatened (NC) based on the International Union for Conservancy of Nature (IUCN). Studies relative to this species is very poorly documented in the Philippines. This paper is a review of the present literature and studies about C. decandra. It aimed to provide information ... read full abstract ››
Growth Performance Of Broilers As Affected By Varying Levels Of Ground Limestone
Date: 26-08-2015 08:04This study aimed to find out the effect of different levels of ground limestone to the growth of broilers. specifically, to determine the best level which could give the highest production and high profits and to know the effect of ground limestone to carcass of broilers. A total of 96 two weeks old chicks were randomly distributed to four dietary treatments using completely r ... read full abstract ››
Using Design Processes As A Tool To Enhance Entrepreneurial Globalization Of Born Global Start-ups
Date: 07-08-2015 16:39There is a clear need for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) entering new global markets to modify and improve their processes and products in order to increase their global presence. This journey requires international skills and multidisciplinary working. Design processes can enhance and accelerate the globalization and many born global firms (BGs) already utilize this ... read full abstract ››
Specific Ion Effect Or Hofmeister Series
Date: 30-05-2015 19:09The present study about the solubility of some potassium electrolytes in ethylene carbonate shows that the solubility of this species follows the Hofmeister series of anions.
Ethylene carbonate is a highly polar organic solvent, with high dielectric constant and high dipole moment; however, unlike water, it does not have hydrogen bonds.
The entity of solubilizatio ... read full abstract ››
