Spatial pattern and determinants of unmet need of family planning in Nigeria
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Family Practice • Authors: Oluwayemisi Oyeronke Alaba --- Department of Statistics, Nigeria JO Olaomi --- Department of Statistics, South Africa Olusanya E. Olubusoye --- Department of Statistics, NigeriaBackground: Nigeria still grapples with low family planning (FP) use and a high fertility rate. This study explores the factors associated with the unmet need for FP and the coldspots of unmet need for FP in Nigeria. -
Validation of growth zone deposition in otoliths of two large endemic cyprinids in Lake Gariep, South Africa
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: Henning Winker --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa Bruce R. Ellender --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South Africa Olaf L.F. Weyl --- South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, South Africa Anthony J. Booth --- Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, South AfricaWe tested the hypothesis that growth zones in the astericus otoliths of smallmouth yellowfish (Labeobarbus aeneus) and Orange River mudfish (Labeo capensis) were deposited annually. Two methods, fluorochrome marking and edge analysis of otoliths were used. For fluorochrome marking, specimens... -
Diel effects on bottom-trawl survey catch rates of shallow- and deep-water Cape hakes Merluccius capensis and M. paradoxus off Namibia, using solar zenith angle
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: P Kainge --- National Marine Information and Research Centre (NatMIRC), Namibia K Wieland --- Section for Monitoring and Data, Institute of Aquatic Resources, Denmark J Feekings --- Section for Ecosystem based Marine Management, DenmarkDiel patterns in survey trawl catches for the Cape hakes Merluccius capensis and M. paradoxus off Namibia were studied in order to examine the effect of diel bias on catchability, and its implication for survey abundance estimation and the consistency... -
On higher order generalized geometric polynomials with shifted parameters
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Quaestiones Mathematicae • Authors: José A. Adell --- Universidad Zaragoza, Spain Beáta Bényi --- University of Public Service, Hungary Sithembele Nkonkobe --- Sol Plaatje University, South AfricaWe study a special class of higher order generalized geometric polynomials. Based on our combinatorial interpretation of labeled barred preferential arrangements, we prove several recursions. We also study the polynomials from a probabilistic point of view, and show how our... -
The determinants of the adoption of mobile money by small enterprises (SEs) in Douala, Cameroon
