Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDeterminants of Non-farm Income Diversification in Developed Villages of BangladeshMohammad Abdul Malek, Koichi UsamiProblem statement: Though the Non-Farm Sector (NFS) has been prioritized in the national policy documents, empirical evidences based on the broader definition of the sector seem to be insufficient about its role both in income diversification and income distribution especially in segmented area of rural Bangladesh. Approach: We use income inequality Gini decomposition method for exploring the role of Non-Farm … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,356 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIncome Distribution and Health Status: Econometric Evidence from OECD CountriesVasudeva N.R. MurthyThis research note, using a cross-sectional sample consisting of 27 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries (OECD) for the reference year 2002, empirically examines the relationship between health status as measured by infant mortality and the degree of income inequality, given the effect of certain controlled variables. The empirical findings based on the estimation by robust econometric methods, show … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing the Gender Dimensions of Drug Abuse Among Women and Girls in Maiduguri: Challenges and ImplicationsFredrick WilsonThis study examines the gender-specific dimensions of drug abuse among women and girls in Maiduguri, North East Nigeria, a region affected by insurgency, poverty, and restrictive socio-cultural norms. While national data indicate rising female substance use, interventions and research have largely overlooked women’s unique challenges. Drawing on in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, the study explores structural, emotional, and socio-cultural … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 7 Sep 2026 · 801 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBacteria as Quantum ClocksAtanas Todorov AtanasovIn this study we have investigated the biological application of Wigner’s inequalities for smallest quantum clock. We have shown that the mass, size and doubling time of bacteria satisfied the Wigner’s inequalities for quantum clock. Data on 17 bacteria with mass 1×10-17 -1×10-15 kg, size 0.3-50µm and doubling time 1×103-1×105 seconds confirmed the hypothesis of Pešić that possibly the living … …Physics International, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSEQUENTIAL ESTIMATION OF THE SQUARE OF THE RAYLEIGH PARAMETERMohamed TahirThe problem addressed is that of sequentially estimating the square of the parameter of the Rayleigh distribution, subject to a weighted squared loss plus cost of sampling. We propose a sequential procedure and provide a second-order asymptotic expansion for the incurred regret. It is seen that the asymptotic regret is negative for a range of values of the parameter. …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2014 · 6,439 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMixed Formulation for a Signorini ProblemTedjani Hadj Ammar, Benabderrahmane BenyattouProblem statement: This study deals with the study of a Signorini Problem (SP) of unilateral contact between two a linear or non linear elastic bodies. Approach: We present two variational formulations noted P1, P2, of the considered problem, where P1 depends on the displacement field and P2 depends on the stress field. In the linear case, under assumptions, then the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 23 Apr 2012 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLinks between Dynamic Physical Systems and Operator Theory Issues Concerning Energy Balances and StabilityM. D.L. SenThis study relates the properties of operators with the well- known concepts of positive realness and passivity properties in dynamic systems and their associate transfer functions. Those concepts together with very close related ones are first examined from a physical point of view. Then, they are related to hyper-stability and properties of transfer functions while the hyper-stability theorem is revisited … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,826 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSocial Protection Cash Transfers and Gendered Equality: An Analysis of Gendered Differences in Poverty Reduction and Income DistributionJulius OkelloThis research investigates key determinants of poverty reduction and income distribution in eastern Uganda's Teso sub-region. Regression analysis reveals significant negative coefficients for access to healthcare (β = -0.414, p = 0.029) and road infrastructure (β = -0.363, p = 0.014), indicating lower poverty levels in communities with better access. Employment (β = -2.8, p = 0.000) and income (β … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 5 Aug 2026 · 942 accessesView PDFCite
