Can the agroprocessing sector create jobs in Africa?: Evidence from Ethiopia, Ghana and Tunisia
(2024-04)The lack of adequate employment opportunities continues to be one of the principal challenges hindering poverty reduction efforts in Africa. Despite sustained economic growth – at least until the Covid-19 pandemic – the ... -
Can the evolution of joint savings agreements counter the effect of higher costs of migration on its intensity?
(2022-06)In this paper we consider a population of would-be migrants in a developing country. To begin with, this population is divided into two sets: those who save by themselves to pay for the cost of their migration, and those ... -
Can the halo model describe 2nd- and 3rd-order correlation functions of gravitational lensing consistently?
(2019-11-07)To understand and model the distribution of and the relation between baryonic and dark matter in the Universe is one of the key challenges in contemporary astrophysics. A well-established theoretical description is given ... -
Can we model the effect of observed sea level rise on tides?
(2018-06-07)The link between secular changes in the lunar semidiurnal ocean tide (M2) and relative sea level rise is examined based on numerical tidal modeling and the analysis of long-term sea level records from Europe, Australia, ... -
Candidate gene analysis for loci affecting sperm quality and fertility of boar
(2005)Fertility is one of the most important economical traits in swine production. Implementation of artificial insemination (AI) in swine production allowed improving selection on the boars for production traits, but at the ... -
The cannabinoid receptor 2: from mouse to human
(2015-05-13)The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates numerous cellular and physiological processes. Nowadays, the system comprises two G protein-coupled receptors named CB1 and CB2 receptor, and the endogenous ligands anandamide ... -
Canonical Remarks on the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum
(2009)In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI again allowed the Roman liturgy in its form prior to the 1970 reform. The article analyzes the new law from a formal and substantive point of view according to Church Law, and organizes the process ... -
CAP measures towards environmental sustainability: Trade opportunities for Africa?
(2020-05)The future EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) requires coherence with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the international commitments in the fight against climate change. Next to ensuring stable food supply by ... -
Capturing Hand-Object Interaction and Reconstruction of Manipulated Objects
(2017-04-26)Hand motion capture with an RGB-D sensor gained recently a lot of research attention, however, even most recent approaches focus on the case of a single isolated hand. We focus instead on hands that interact with other ... -
Carbon farming in Africa: Opportunities and challenges for engaging smallholder farmers
(2023-03)The IPCC stresses the importance of achieving net-zero CO2 emissions worldwide by 2050 and natural climate solutions, particularly carbon farming, can play a significant role in this goal. However, current markets do not ... -
Carbon Farming Training and Welfare: Evidence from Northern Ghana
(2022-09)Carbon farming, particularly soil carbon climate strategies, has emerged as a popular tool in addressing climate change and variability in worldwide agriculture. Yet, there is a paucity of evidence on its application, and ... -
