Generalised -reduction and Explicit Substitutions 8th International Conference on Programming

Extending the-calculus with either explicit substitution or generalised reduction has been the subject of extensive research recently which still has many open problems. Due to this reason, the properties of a calculus combining both generalised reduction and explicit substitutions have never been studied. This paper presents such a calculus sg and shows that it is a desirable extension of the-...

8th International Conference on Typhoid Fever and Other Invasive Salmonelloses

Both culture and serological methods are used to diagnose enteric fever. An anti-Salmonella lipopolysaccharide O12 monoclonal antibody could be used to detect Salmonella organism directly from routine blood culture broths. Blood from 78 young outpatients suspected of having enteric fever was incubated in enrichment broth, and after 2 or 4 days, broth samplings were examined by Tubex-TP as well ...

Making Decisions About Safety in US Ports and Waterways

The US Coast Guard (USCG) is charged with maintaining an acceptable level of safety in US ports and waterways. Allocating resources to solve safety problems is difficult because multiple attributes of a port or waterway affect its safety and determine whether a particular safety measure will improve it. We based the ports and waterways safety assessment (PAWSA) model on multiattribute decision ...
