Introduction The niche of the small semi-arboreal, solitary, and nocturnal insectivore-carnivore is occupied by the genus Genetta over most of Africa and southwest Europe. The dozen or so species comprising the genus are structurally coherent, exploit nearly all natural and cultivated habitats, and in many areas are a numerically dominant small carnivore. This success may be considered exceptional, for Genetta like Didelphis and Tupaiia is believed to be a relatively unmodified derivative o...

Abstract: Philosophy is a critical or systematic approach towards unravelling the mysteries of nature. It is an inquiry into facts of life, a quest for knowledge, and an incursion into providing answers to life's most important questions.

Different nations confront various education...

It i...

It is also been referred to as man’s unending quest for knowledge. The ancient or Pre-Socratic philosophers were first concerned with the universe. At this early stage some of the philosophers argued whether the earth was round or spherical, some argued for what basic elements constitute reality and t...

It helps in reducing the risk in developing type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Despite its importance, groundnut yield is limited by environmental factors such as drought. The prediction of climate change indicate that drought will occur more often due to...
