The reference function has undergone changes in the variety of services offered and in the service itself. One area of change is in the deployment of the technologies used to meet the demands of users. Remote access by library users is a serious challenge to reference services. They must develop strategies to cope with the demands of the user for r

A laboratory-scale study was carried out to produce lignin peroxidase (ligninase) by white rot fungus (Phanerochaete chrysosporium) using sewage-treatmentplant (STP) sludge as the major substrate. The optimization was done using full-factorial design (FFD) with agitation and aeration as the two parameters. Nine experiments indicated by the FFD were

The objective of this paper is to examine the impact of corporate governance on the risk of banks. A sample of twelve listed bank holding companies is examined over a ten year period (1996-2005). Based on the panel data analysis, separate board leadership structure, higher proportion of independent directors, smaller board size, lower director owne

The title compound, C22H20N2O4·2CHCl3, a new Schiff base compound, lies across a crystallographic inversion centre. An intramolecular O-HN hydrogen bond generates a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. Intermolecular bifurcated C-HO hydrogen bonds involving the two O atoms of the Schiff base ligand and the H atom of the chloroform solv
