This paper examines demand for and access to private-sector extension services by contracted cotton producers in northern Tanzania. Data from a non-random survey of 520 smallholders show that only 21.9% received any extension and only 4.6% received extension from the cotton ginnery. Wealthier households were three times more likely to receive extension from any provider. While the public sector re

Landscape, process and economy in the bloomery iron production during AD400–1000 are all integrated in this paper initiated by an archaeological excavation of a bloomery site in Motala in Östergötland, southeast Sweden. This site is one among other contemporaneous sites with similar features, such as long-term iron production and a location in the landscape within easy reach of communication routeLandscape, process and economy in the bloomery iron production during AD 400–1000 are all integrated in this paper initiated by an archaeological exca-vation of a bloomery site in Motala in Östergötland, southeast Sweden.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with unknown etiology. Here we show the generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line, named CSC-40, from dermal fibroblasts obtained from a 59-year-old male patient with a homozygous p.Q456X mutation in the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK/PARK6) gene and a confirmed diagnosis of PD, which could be used to model familial PD.

Hydrogen functionalization of graphene by exposure to vibrationally excited H2 molecules is investigated by combined scanning tunneling microscopy, high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements, and density functional theory calculations. The measurements reveal that vibrationally excited H2 molecules dissociatively adsorb on graphene on Ir(111) r

This paper reports an experimental study, where the reduction of NiO-GDC to Ni-GDC is monitored using high temperature (HT) near ambient pressure (NAP) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in combination with simultaneous impedance spectroscopy (IS). The experiment is carried out using a dual chamber (DC)-HT-NAP-XPS cell designed for membrane electrode studies. The dual chamber measurement cell

I løbet af de sidste to måneder af 2016, havde vi mulighed for at deltage i to konferencer, med fokus på at udvikle og fremme ‘Integrated Reporting’ (IR) og ‘Integrated Thinking’. Denne artikel søger at videregive nogle af de interessante emner og spørgsmål, der blev drøftet ved disse to begivenheder.

This thesis is about the application of Lamb waves for non-destructive evaluation of plate-like concrete structures under one-sided access test condition using a portable equipment consisting of an accelerometer and impact hammer. With this type of equipment and based on array signal processing, the impact-echo (IE) method can be extended with measurements of surface waves; this extension allows a

This thesis muses the question; how do we understand firm growth in immigrant owned firms? Two literature streams are proposed to be relevant. Firstly, theimmigrant entrepreneurship field, which is developing and becoming increasinglysophisticated. Though despite appeals from within the field, that we need a widerspan of concepts to explain the changing heterogeneity and fabric of immigrantentrepr

Soft tissue tumors (STT) constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors that arise in tissues of mesenchymal origin. They are currently classified according to morphology and resemblance to normal tissue into over 100 subtypes. Differentiation between the different subtypes can sometimes be difficult, and along with the fact that little is known about the mechanisms of STT development, this makes adeq
