A critical evaluation of the effectiveness of local content policy (LCP) and transparency practices in LCP implementation in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
One of the aims of the Local Content Policy (LCP) is the economic development of Nigeria through the utilisation of local personnel and resources in the activities of the Nigerian oil and gas industry. Many studies have investigated the LCP, but limited work has been undertaken in investigating the …

The synthesis and characterization of polystyrene liquid crystalline siloxane block copolymers
… were selected to result in a smectic C* siloxane LCP block. Increasing the rigidity of the mesogen led to stronger microphase segregation between the PS and LCP blocks, and to a higher Tg and LC clearing point for the LCP block. Samples with large LCP weight fractions (>0.8) and low Tg ( < -25°C) …

The implementation of learner-centred pedagogy in Rwanda: Teachers as mediators
… the use of “learner-centred” pedagogy (LCP) as the teaching and learning approach. The envisaged goal of LCP is to engage students in more active and participatory learning experiences, which can help to cultivate competencies relevant for their futures (REB/MINEDUC, 2015). While LCP is …

Genetic linkage map of LCP 85-384, genetic diversity of a S. spontaneum collection and the contribution of S. spontaneum to Louisiana commerical germplasm
… collection. A framework genetic linkage map of ‘LCP 85-384’ was constructed using 300 selfed progeny based on 773 single-dose (SD) markers generated by 64 AFLP, 12 TRAP and 19 SSR markers. Out of 773 SD markers, 717 markers were assigned onto 108 co-segregation groups (CGs) with a cumulative map …
