Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Information Asymmetry on Municipal Bond Yields: An Empirical AnalysisKenneth Daniels, Demissew Diro EjaraProblem statement: There is a significant difference between the interest rates on the GO and the RV municipal bonds. We sought explanation for this difference in differences in information asymmetry between the two types of municipal bonds. GO bonds finance general municipality expenditures and repayment is from general tax revenues. RV bonds finance special projects and repayment is from cash … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharcoal-Oil Mixture as an Alternative Fuel: A Preliminary StudyRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayThe fast depletion of fuel oil and continuous increase in the demand for power is a global issue. The world energy consumption is projected to grow at an average of 2.7-3.7% from 1996 to 2010. Therefore search for alternative fuel is highly prioritized. Thus this study presents the results on the characteristic of charcoal-oil mixture as an alternative fuel. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrongly Real Elements in the Linear Groups PSLn(q)Ibrahim A.I. SuleimanWe investigated which elements in some projective special linear and unitary groups are strongly real. In particular we showed every real element in PSL2(q) strongly real. We write a full table for real classes which are not strongly real in the unitary groups as well as a table for the non real classes in the unitary groups. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeed Germination and Seedling Survival of Spartina alterniflora LoiselPatrick D. Biber, John D. CaldwellSpartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) is a widespread intertidal salt marsh plant that is frequently used in coastal restoration projects. Seeds collected in 2004 were tested for seed germination and seedling survival after 6 months of cold seed storage to determine differences among collection locations (experiment 1). Seeds collected in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, were tested for seed germination and seedling … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpairment of Retrograde Neuronal Transport in Cardiac Vagal Motoneurons in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats: A Wheat Ger Agglutinin-Horseradish Peroxidase Neurohistochemical studyA. Odekunle, C.M. PhillipsCentral projections of vagal motoneurons to the heart were studied in diabetic rats using Wheat germ Agglutinin-Horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP). Experimental rats were rendered diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin in citrate buffer. The diabetic rats were maintained in a stable diabetic state by daily injection of insulin for 24 weeks. Age-matched control rats were injected intraperitoneally with citrate buffer not … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReconsidering the Understanding of Technoscientific KnowledgeCharalambos Tsekeris, Ioannis KaterelosNowadays, science and technology have immediate and powerful social impacts.
