Commutators of flows and fields

The well known formula [X,Y]=\tfrac12\tfrac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}|_0 (\Fl^Y_{-t}\o\Fl^X_{-t}\o\Fl^Y_t\o\Fl^X_t) for vector fields $X$, $Y$ is generalized to arbitrary bracket expressions and arbitrary curves of local diffeomorphisms

Block encoders for Reed-Muller codes

Encoding algorithms generate a 32 x 64-bit matrix Reed-Muller code from a 6-bit orthogonal code-word. This increases error-free reception by a high rate telemetry channel under adverse signal noise with minimal use of additional hardware

WOMEN AND ADULT EDUCATION IN NIGERIA: A PANACEA FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Adult literaClJ and adult education are necessan; to ensure an enlightened government and citizenry, whose insights, activities and decisions are vital for the achievement of national goals and de-velopment. Education is one paramount yardstick often used to measure the development of any nation. Through education, relevant skills, knowledge and values are acquired by members of the society to enable them maximize their potentials in the ever changing ·world, but there is observed imbalance in the education of men and women in Nigeria. This is adduced to many reasons: cultural, economic, and religious factors among others. This paper therefore examines women in adult education from the point of view of the history, meaning, forms and objectives of adult education. The purpose of women's education and an assessment of their involvement in Adult education as a basis for Nigeria national development are equally examined and the paper concludes 1.vith suggestions for further study

Frequency control circuit for all-digital phase-lock loops

Phase-lock loop references all its operations to fixed high-frequency service clock operating at highest speed which digital circuits permit. Wide-range control circuit provides linear control of frequency of reference signal. It requires only two counters in combination with control circuit consisting only of flip-flop and gate

Simple first order data compression processor concept

Data-compression processing systems based on an analog-to-digital converter /ADC/, includes a qualitative comparator for comparison of the ADC output with a ramp generator, which is connected as a bidirectional binary counter with selective inputs. A bidirectional ramp counter selects the proper ramp through a ramp generator selection network

CAPACITY BUILDING FOR WIDOWS : PATHWAYS FOR SUSTAINABLE GRASSROOT DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA

This paper examines capacity building for widows and pathways for sustainable grass root development in Nigeria. The increasing number of widows with little or no means of capacity for economic empowerment at the grass root has become an acknowledged social problem in most developing societies like Nigeria. This paper argues the need for capacity building as an urgent step for attaining the needed sustainable national development for this segment of the population. The study relies on survey of942 widows across sixAwori communities, in Ogun state, Nigeria. Using descriptive statistics, the result shows that, about 60 percent of the sampled population had no form of fbrmal or informal education. Thus, they live in abject poverty. This paper recommends the need for both government and Non Governmental Organizations (NGO's) to drive capacity building through formal and Non-formal education, to enable widows especially at the grass root maximize their potentials in the ever changing world
