Trust in development: some implications of knowing in indigenous knowledge
(
Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
, 2010 , Article)
The indigenous knowledge (IK) initiative in development has met with limited success. The cultural relativity of knowledge � i.e. what qualifies as justified belief � may partly explain why. Drawing on New Guinea Highlands' ...
Global patterns and predictions of seafloor biomass using random forests
(
Public Library of Science
, 2010 , Article)
A comprehensive seafloor biomass and abundance database has been constructed from 24 oceanographic institutions worldwide within the Census of Marine Life (CoML) field projects. The machine-learning algorithm, Random ...
On fixed points of Berinde's contractive mappings in cone metric spaces
(
North University of Baia Mare
, 2010 , Article)
In this paper we establish some common fixed point theorems for two self-mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition. This result generalizes well known comparable results in the literature. As an application, ...
Weak and strong convergence theorems without some widely used conditions
(
Academic Publications, Ltd.
, 2010 , Article)
We establish weak (strong) convergence of Ishikawa iterates of two asymptotically (quasi-)nonexpansive maps without any condition on the rate of convergence associated with the two maps. Moreover, our weak convergence ...
Evidence of the Involvement of E358, A498 and C571 of a New Cry1Ac δ-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis in its High Insecticidal Activity Against Ephestia kuehniella
(
Humana Press Inc
, 2010 , Article)
A new cry1Ac-type gene was cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis strain BLB1, sequenced and expressed. The deduced amino acid sequence of the polypeptide has a predicted molecular mass of 132.186 kDa. The amino acid sequence ...
Antifungal activities of an endophytic Pseudomonas fluorescens strain Pf1TZ harbouring genes from pyoluteorin and phenazine clusters
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2010 , Article)
Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf1TZ was inhibitory in vitro to a number of phytopathogenic fungi and could protect vine plantlets against Botrytis cinerea. Total protection was reached after 3 weeks of bacterial inoculation. The ...

American Research Center in Egypt
, 2010 , Article)
Publication of part of a white limestone naos with the representation of the god Osiris dedicated
by a military man of the Nineteenth Dynasty, perhaps from the Abydos temple. The paper examines the iconography and text ...
Inhibiting corrosion of n-GaAs by cetylpyridinium chloride for stabilised photoelectochemical cell
(
Maney Publishing
, 2010 , Article)
The cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) provides photocorrosion inhibition to the GaAs surface when CPC is chemisorbed on the GaAs surface from aqueous acidic electrolytes at concentrations of CPC lower than ...
Characterization of tunisian Bacillus thuringiensis strains with abundance of kurstaki subspecies harbouring insecticidal activities against the lepidopteran insect ephestia kuehniella
(
Springer US
, 2010 , Article)
The study of 257 crystal-producing Bacillus thuringiensis isolates from bioinsecticide free soil samples collected from different sites in Tunisia, was performed by PCR amplification, using six primer pairs specific for ...
Error analysis associated with uniform Hermite interpolations of bandlimited functions
(
Korean Mathematical Society
, 2010 , Article)
We derive estimates for the truncation, amplitude and jitter type errors associated with Hermite-type interpolations at equidistant nodes of functions in Paley-Wiener spaces. We give pointwise and uniform estimates. Some ...
