Thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence of gamma-irradiated mineral zircon [PDF]
, 2007 Thermoluminescence (TL) manifested by gamma-irradiated mineral zircon has shown a strong TL peak at about 165 °C which is due to recombination of electrons and Dy3+ related shallow hole traps.

Genetic characterization and population structure of maize populations using SSR markers
Annals of Agricultural Sciences, 2019 Maize is a major staple food in sub-Saharan Africa. However, due to the threats posed by biotic and abiotic constraints to its production, it is a prerequisite to conserve germplasm with diverse genetic background and to seek for favourable genotypes ...

Experimental demonstration that offspring fathered by old males have shorter telomeres and reduced lifespans [PDF]
, 2018 Offspring of older parents frequently show reduced longevity, but the mechanisms driving this so-called 'Lansing effect' are unknown. While inheritance of short telomeres from older parents could underlie this effect, studies to date in different species

Factors that Determine Aflatoxin Infestation in Ghana: Application of Cragg's Double Hurdle Model
Sustainable Futures, 2020 In our application of Cragg's (double hurdle) model, we explicitly address functional form misspecification by first using nonparametric regression to identify the functional relationship between aflatoxin infestation and a vector of agronomic and ...
