Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrom the Chicago School to Post-sub Cultural Carriage: A Review and Analysis of Contemporary Trends in Youth Culture ResearchMohd. Aslam BhatThe historicity of youth culture studies is much challenging to date exactly. Sociologists however, trace its genesis from Chicago School and then leap to Birmingham’s Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies. Theoretically it was, with the works of post subculturists that youth culture research gained ascendency. Global youth culture posture further revamped the field. This paper constructs a critical dialogue between … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2016 · 8,525 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReconstruction of the Depositional Setting of Tortonian Sediments in the Yowi Field, Shallow Offshore Niger Delta, Using Wireline LogsPrince Suka Momta, Minapuye Isaac OdigiWell logs and ditch-cuttings information was used to study the subsurface of the Yowi oilfields, shallow offshore, in the eastern Niger Delta sedimentary basin. The essence of the study was to determine the gross depositional environments of selected and-bodies. Electrofacies trends from gamma ray log and mineral composition of ditch-cutting samples were used to reconstruct the depositional environments in the … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2016 · 7,928 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCan Contract Marketing Motivate Farmers to Go Organic? Measuring the Moderation Effect of Contract MarketingGolnaz Rezai, Mad Nasir Shamsudin, Zainal Abidin Mohamed, Ting Jenn LingThe demand for organic food is growing in Malaysia due to consumer concerns for food safety, sustainable development, and urban expansion. However, the share of farmers engaged in this type of agriculture in Malaysia is notably low with only 72 (0.02%) organic vegetable farmers out of a total of 272,000 farmers in the country. Therefore, it is crucial to understand … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 4 Feb 2016 · 7,567 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Unified Approach for the Shear Buckling Design of Structural Glass Walls with Non-Ideal RestraintsChiara Bedon, Claudio AmadioIn this study, a unified design approach is assessed and proposed for the shear buckling verification of structural glass walls supported by non-ideal restraints. Based on the current trends of practice in buildings, the effect of (i) adhesive joints, (ii) metal frames with interposed adhesive joints or (iii) point mechanical connectors on the actual shear buckling behavior of the examined … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2016 · 8,292 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Anthropomorphic Gripping Manipulator: The Analysis of Implementation MethodsIvan Vladimirovich Krechetov, Arkady Alekseevich Skvortsov, Pavel Sergeevich LavrikovThe object of the article is the study of implementation methods for the development of hardware-software engineering solutions in the field of the creation of a universal anthropomorphic gripper. Such technical solutions are intended to enable the adaptation and extensive use of advanced robotic systems in the natural environmental conditions formed by people through equipping them with anthropomorphic universal grippers … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 11 · 17 Nov 2015 · 6,756 accessesView PDF Cite

Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractInternal Migration and Poverty Reduction: Rethinking the Debate on the North-South Movement in GhanaRichard Serbeh, Prince Osei-Wusu Adjei, Thomas YeboahIn the past few years the nexus that link internal migration and poverty reduction has been a subject of interest among researchers and policy makers. Internal movements constitute a major coping mechanism in poverty stricken areas although the evidence supporting this claim is equivocal. This paper critically examines the extent to which internal migration could acts as an important route … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2015 · 7,948 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractTheoretical Construction of Job Satisfaction in Medical Professionals Working for Mexican CompaniesMaría del Carmen López-García, María de los Ángeles Aguilera-VelascoOccupational Health physicians coexist in a work environment where they perform activities other than the ones developed by other doctors. Hence, there is interest in analyzing the theoretical construction of their job satisfaction. Inductive and qualitative study was conducted based on grounded theory and with the support of the software Atlas-ti. As a result of carrying out in-depth interviews and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2015 · 7,195 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSedimentology and Depositional Environment of D2 Sand in Part of Greater Ughelli Depobelt, Onshore Niger Delta, NigeriaPrince Suka Momta, Jonathan O. Omoboh, Minapuye I. OdigiThe sedimentology and depositional environment of D2 sand in part of the Greater Ughelli depobelt have been studied using well logs and core data. Three wells were correlated to establish the lateral continuity of the D2 sand across the field and standard gamma ray log trends was used to infer depositional environments. Cored section of well B was described to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 19 Sep 2015 · 8,592 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation-Induced Cognitive Dysfunction After Different Schemes of Fractionated Whole Brain IrradiationZorkina Yana Alexandrovna, Zubkov Eugene Andreevich, Yusubalieva Gaukhar Maratovna et al.Radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction is a serious complication of radiation therapy. In humans, numerous cases of radiation damage have been recorded after irradiation for therapeutic purposes. The degree of cognitive dysfunctions and its dependence on biological effective doses should be tested in animal preclinical models to minimize radiation side effects. Fractionated whole brain irradiation was performed according to the following schemes: … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 14 Jan 2015 · 7,261 accessesView PDF Cite
