Cycle indices of PGL(2,q) acting on the cosets of its subgroups
(International Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology, 2017)In this paper, we mainly investigate the action of 𝑃𝐺𝐿 2,𝑞 on the cosets some of its subgroups namely; 𝐶𝑞−1,𝐶𝑞+1and 𝑃 𝑞. Corresponding to each action the disjoint cycle structures and cycle index formulas is ... -
A Study of Solutions to Euler Equations for a One Dimensional Unsteady Flow
(American Journal of Comp utational and App lied M athematics, 2013)In this paper we deal with the Euler equations for Isothermal gas. In analyzing the equations we obtain two real and distinct eigenvalues which enables us to determine the wave structure of the possible solutions to the ... -
Exploring the trophic structure in organically fertilized and feed-driven tilapia culture environments using multivariate analyses
(AquacultureResearch, 2006)Reports of similar yields in manure and feed-driven tilapia culture environments raise questions on food utilization in these environments. The possibility that similar production rates are because of utilization of di¡erent ... -
Ideotyping integrated aquaculture systems to balance soil nutrients
(Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2011)Due to growingland scarcityand lack of nutrientinputs, Africanfarmersswitched fromshiftingcultivationto continuous croppingand extendedcrop area by bringing fragile lands such as river banks and hill slopes into production. ... -
Investigation of Pressure Distributions for a Finite Elasto-Hydrodynamic Journal Bearing Lubricated by Ferro Fluids with Couple Stresses
(2014)The performance of finite elastohydrodynamic journal bearings lubricated by ferrofluids with couple stresses has been studied. We derive a Reynolds equation that takes into account magneto elastohydrodynamics, by using the ... -
