The Bible is no exception: in its oldest form, it too included the law of ‘measure for measure’. Traditionally, deontological justifications, utilitarian justifications, or a mix of the two have been advanced to justify the infliction of punis...

ABSTRACT Selenium found in plants is ideally suited to the animal digestation and metabolism because it is in the form of selenium acids. Unfortunately, livestock producers have been forced to relyon inorganic selenium sources, such as selenite, in regions where siol and plants produce feed ingrients with low selenium content. In this study, two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of only selenium or synergized with vit E on the reproductive performance of Nubian goats. Twen...
Abstract In long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) networks, the carrier aggregation technique is incorporated for user equipment’s to simultaneously aggregate multiple component carriers (CCs) for achieving higher transmission rate. By combining five component carriers, each of 20 MHz, we can extend the bandwidth to 100 MHz and hence also can achieve high data rates of the order of 1Gbps. Many research works for LTE-A systems with carrier aggregation configuration is carried out in th...

ABSTRACT The study examines the degree of morphological availability of French agentive suffixation using five suffixes; namely –ant, -eur, -ier, -iste and –oir. The place of morphology in major linguistic theories is first of all examined leading to the choice of the theoretical framework based on constructional morphology, split morphology, lexeme-based morphology as well as on aspects of the Optimality Theory. Our corpus, taken from the online version of Trésor de la langue français...
ABSTRACT The year 2014 was a defining year in terms of infectious disease outbreak in West Africa and the world. The Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) 2014 outbreak that began in Guinea became a regional epidemic spreading across the sub-region and beyond. Despite the global awareness and attention that trailed the 2014 EVD outbreak, the effect and impact were felt predominantly at the level. This has prompted this study to evaluate the state of the sub-regional response to the outbreak amidst g...
ABSTRACT The subservient position of women and the level of discrimination that accompanies widowhood practices and property sharing is an acknowledged social problem. In many societies, widowhood resulting from sudden death gives no room for a will or other preparations. Thus, property inheritance becomes a big challenge. Most studies on widowhood practices in Nigeria for instance, focus on the Southeast and Northern part of the country. The gap detected in the literature and research on the...

Therefore, migration can be traced as far back as the existence of man, most especially when man desired to go in search of food during various famine seasons; also another reason for...
