For all countries, both developed and developing, one of the fundamental objectives of macroeconomic policy is macroeconomic stability. In Ghana monetary and fiscal policies are aimed at sustaining high economic growth rates together with low inflation (price stability). Approach: This study estimated the threshold effect of inflation in Ghana for the period … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,426 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of N-Acetylcysteine on Auditory Brainstem Response Threshold Shift in Rabbits Exposed to Noise and Carbon MonoxideSeyedbagher Mortazavi, Masoud Motalebi Kashani, Ali Khavanin et al.Problem statement: Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is one of the most important occupational disease in worldwide. NIHL has been found to be potentiated by simultaneous Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure. Exposure to noise plus CO is common in occupational and environmental settings. Free radicals have been implicated in cochlear damage resulting from exposure to noise and due to CO hypoxia … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,040 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInflation and Financial Development: EvidenceEmmanuel Nii AbbeyThe study examined the impact of inflation on financial development in Ghana using quarterly time series data (1990-2008). It was in line with the empirical works that provided support for the proposition that inflation affects financial development negatively. While price stability has been emphasized in the literature to be the best antidote in addressing the problem, recent evidence of disagreements … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2013 · 7,912 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTopology Control Using Efficient Power ManagementS. Karunakaran, P. ThangarajProblem statement: Effective Topology control will improve the performance and the capacity of Mobile Ad-hoc networks by building reliable network structure. Approach: Power level is used as the basis for topology control since it reduces spatial interference while increasing the effective channel capacity and network lifetime. Results: In this study, we design a topology control using efficient power management algorithm … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 6,715 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReclamation of Irrigated Lands and Improvement of the Groundwater Regime Under Vertical Drainage OperationBalzhan Amanbayeva, Raushan Dzhaisambekova, Alexander Basmanov et al.The aim of the study was to identify patterns of seasonal groundwater-level fluctuations and assess the effectiveness of vertical drainage in regulating the reclamation regime of saline lands in Kazakhstan. The methods included monitoring-well observations, calculation of seasonal amplitudes, Student’s t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson correlation analysis. Before the growing season, groundwater occurred at a depth of 1.5-1.7 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 23 Sep 2026 · 608 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytotoxicity Evaluation of Curcumin-FITC Conjugates in Granulosa Cells Isolated from Ovarian Follicles of Kampung Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)Sukarman Hadi Jaya Putra, Mansur S, UmarudinLinking curcumin to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) results in a hybrid fluorescent marker (curcumin-FITC) that exhibits improved stability and sensitivity in detection. This study sought to evaluate the biological safety and cytotoxic effects of curcumin-FITC on granulosa cells obtained from ovarian follicles (2-5 mm, F1-F4 stage) of Kampung chickens. Following fluorescent labeling with different concentrations of curcumin-FITC (0-100 μg/mL), cell viability … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 14 May 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Red Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) Malt Mashing Using Response Surface MethodologyArthur Kapepa Amisi et al.The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the Released Glucose Equivalent during red sorghum malt mashing. Three parameters were tested: the β-amylase (EC 3.2.1.2) temperature level (min value = 62°C and max value = 63°C, TB), the α-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) temperature level (min value = 72.5 and max value = 77.5°C, TA) and the duration of each stage … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2024 · 8,092 accessesView PDF Cite
