We present improved methods for computing a set of alternative source-to-destination routes in road networks in the form of an alternative graph. The resulting alternative graphs are characterized by minimum path overlap, small stretch factor, as well as low size and complexity. Our approach improves upon a previous one by introducing a new pruning stage preceding any other heuristic method and...

Immunity against C. pseudotuberculosis likewise could not be enhanced by incorporating various immunostimulants into the vaccine or by the use of live vaccines. However, a combination of aluminium hydroxide gel and...
