Abstract Increased frequency and severity of flooding are linked to global warming. Flooding stress can severely affect crop yields plant survival, therefore the livelihoods farmers. An oil palm breeding trial plot consisting six progenies in Terengganu, Malaysia, happened be inundated with within a year after planting annually for 2 years thereafter. recurred at 8th several times that 14‐year period monitoring. Due uneven terrain this trial, palms were exposed various flood levels...
The surface properties of ZnO nanobelts grown by chemical vapor deposition were investigated tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling (STM). AFM images showed a type 1 (high aspect ratio) nanobelt lying across 2 (low nanobelt, bending at an angle 20.9° without breaking. Step defects also observed on the for first time, with step edges running along [−1−120] direction. These are STM while spectroscopy measurements yield band gap 3.3eV near flatband conditions.
This paper considers a new generalization of the negative binomial distribution arising from Poisson-stopped sum Hurwitz–Lerch zeta distributions (Poisson-HLZD). The proposed has much flexibility in shape (high probability at zero and long tail) as compared to other generalizations but retains computational tractability since, sum, it recurrence formula for its probabilities which facilitates computation applications. Poisson-HLZD makes useful model statistical analysis. is proved have mixed...
The Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta (HLZ) family includes many well-known distributions such as the logarithmic distribution, Zipf-Mandelbrot distribution and so on. In this study, stochastic orderings of random variables in HLZ are established based on likelihood ratio. These provide a useful tool for comparing 'magnitudes' these variables. tail probability is shown to have an interesting relation with generalisation (GLD) proposed [1]. To demonstrate flexibility empirical modelling, robust generating...
We present an AFM and STM-STS investigation of the surface ZnO nanobelts grown by chemical vapour deposition. images showed a type 1 (high aspect ratio) nanobelt lying across 2 (low nanobelt, bending at angle 20.9° without breaking. Terraces 10 atomic layer thick were also observed, with step edges running along [0010] direction. STM confirmed results while STS curves current maps higher conductivity for than oxidised silicon surface, as well n-type behaviour. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2009.323]
Financial crisis in 2007–2008 have caused losses to life insurance companies issuing variable annuities with guarantees. This is partly due failure of annuity (VA) issuers anticipate the large variations asset prices during financial times their pricing framework and also setting a higher guaranteed rate. study aims investigate minimum death accumulation benefits embedded flexible premium VA. We compare from calibrated Black–Scholes model that jump-diffusion model. Although both models...
Achievement goal theory (AGT) has emerged as a prominent framework to examine influences on students’ motivation and achievement. The achievement goals are classified into mastery performance orientation. Whilst focus self-improvement emphasize learning , motivated by desire for extrinsic approval may lead surface . This project focuses creating environment that is students-centered via incorporating AGT within the curve satisfaction in their due these interventions. As conventional grading...
