Matrimony relations and business in a fishing migrant community (periphery of Pointe-Noire, Congo-Brazzaville)
(l'Association des amis de la Revue de Géographie de Lyon, 2013)
This paper examines the entrepreneurial activities of female migrants in the informal artisanal
fishing sector along the coastal line of Congo-Brazzaville. It shows the extent to which these
women have achieved an insertion ...
The effect of weak lensing on distance estimates from supernovae
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)
Using a sample of 608 Type Ia supernovae from the SDSS-II and BOSS surveys, combined with a sample of
foreground galaxies from SDSS-II, we estimate the weak lensing convergence for each supernova line of sight.
We find ...
Numerical treatment of Kap's equation using a class of fourth order method
(Academic Journals, 2011)
Kap's equation is a stiff initial value problem. This paper deals with the treatment of Kap's equation using a class of 4th order explicit Runge-Kutta method. Numerical computation was carried out using Microsoft Visual ...
In vivo effects of eurycoma longifolia Jack (Tongkat Ali) extract on reproductive functions in the rat
(Blackwell, 2013)
An aqueous extract of Eurycoma longifolia (Tongkat Ali; TA) roots is traditionally used to enhance male sexuality. Because previous studies are limited to only few sperm parameters or testosterone concentration, this study ...
Trends and risk factors for childhood diarrhea in sub-Saharan countries (1990 2013): assessing the neighborhood inequalities
(Co-Action Publishing, 2016)
BACKGROUND: Diarrheal diseases are a major cause of child mortality and one of the main causes of medical
consultation for children in sub-Saharan countries. This paper attempts to determine the risk factors and
neighborhood ...
The faint radio source population at 15.7 GHz - II. Multi-wavelength properties
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
A complete, flux density limited sample of 96 faint (> 0:5 mJy) radio sources is selected
from the 10C survey at 15.7 GHz in the Lockman Hole. We have matched this sample to a
range of multi-wavelength catalogues, including ...
Characterizing the emergence and persistence of drug resistant mutations in HIV-1 subtype C infections using 454 ultra deep pyrosequencing
(BioMed Central -The Open Access Publisher, 2013)
BACKGROUND: The role of HIV-1 RNA in the emergence of resistance to antiretroviral therapies (ARTs) is well
documented while less is known about the role of historical viruses stored in the proviral DNA. The primary ...
Synthesis of carbon-supported PdSn–SnO2 nanoparticles with different degrees of interfacial contact and enhanced catalytic activities for formic acid oxidation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)
The conjunction of the PdSn alloy and SnO2 is of interest for improving catalytic activity in formic acid
oxidation (FAO). Here, we report the synthesis of PdSn–SnO2 nanoparticles and a study of their catalytic
FAO ...
Graphite-anchored lithium vanadium oxide as anode of lithium ion battery
(Elsevier, 2013)
Graphite-anchored lithium vanadium oxide (Li1.1V0.9O2) has been synthesized via a “one-pot” in situ
method. The effects of the synthesis conditions, such as the ratio of reaction components and calcination
temperature, ...
Supported 3-D Pt nanostructures: the straightforward synthesis and enhanced electrochemical performance for methanol oxidation in an acidic medium
(Springer, 2013)
Noble metal nanostructures with branched morphologies [i.e., 3-D Pt nanoflowers (NFs)] by tridimensionally integrating onto conductive carbon materials are proved to be an efficient and durable electrocatalysts for methanol ...
