The Benue State government has approved the establishment of Special Science and Technological Primary Schools across the state as part of the strategy to boost education in the state.

Andrea Bazán said she has thick skin and is not easily frightened by death threats. But when the Hispanic activist arrived home one day to find her voice mail packed with profanity, and when she noticed a man watching her

University of California - Santa Barbara) A study reported in today's issue of Nature disputes a longstanding picture of how ice sheets influence ocean circulation during glacial periods.

Ecological Society of America) Earth scientists are attempting to predict the future impacts of climate change by reconstructing the past behavior of Arctic climate and ocean circulation. In a November special issue of the journal Ecology, a group of scientists

Wisconsin-headquartered EMTEQ recently added the supplemental type certificate (STC) ST03619AT for B777 aircraft, which installs Honeywell's HD-710 data terminal / amplifier to its list of FAA approved engineering and installation kits for boeing aircraft. EMTEQ's existing STC for RAAS on

EMTEQ's Florida-based engineering office moved from Miami to Miramar, Florida on 1 November 2008. At 5,000ft², the office will accommodate growth of up to ten additional staff. The Florida group mainly offers design, certification and consulting services for the commercial

Amongst the South Pacific's least developed small island countries, Samoa has emerged as a successful economy. Its achievements of low inflation and high growth rates have been due to sustained fiscal adjustment programmes and appropriate monetary policy measures. This paper

The New EU entrants have face obstacles such as adjusting to a market economy, integration into The EU, and a single currency, to name a few. One major obstacle is the fact that the voting members consist of the six

This paper analyses the influence of economic fluctuations on the financing decisions of companies from Indonesia and Malaysia from 1996 to 2005. Our results show that companies with better access to external capital and those that adjust their financial structures

In the present study we initially take stock of the dispersed definitions and measurement methods of irreversibility by offering a bird's eye view of the existing literature. Then we construct a closed-form model to investigate the impact of conditional uncertainty

This paper analyses the impact of French banks on the adoption of specific investment in French companies through board representation and ownership stakes. The theoretical principles suggest that the banks refuse the financing of this type of investment. Therefore, the

This paper analyses whether Z-score, as examined by Altman and other researchers, can predict correctly company failures. The empirical analysis concentrates on the construction companies listed in Athens Exchange, for the period 1995-2006, which coincides with significant construction activity in

The Milliken Moment Method (MMM) effectively organises kinematically constrained vehicle test results. The authors present a method for evaluating vehicle handling; assessing the overall performance capability with the MMM then using the closed-loop dynamic simulation to determine how much of

This paper describes the numerical optimisation procedure developed for the design of structural components of Formula One racing cars made of composite materials. The numerical procedure, developed using Matlab, is based on coupling a commercial finite element code for structural

To reduce aerodynamic forces on mini-vans, we have developed a rear spoiler of a new type based on the principles of fluid dynamics and through numerical computations. The aerodynamic drag as well as lift on vehicles having a bluff back
