Exposure of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus (at -70 C) to 6 x 10 r gamma-radiation (Co) resulted in loss of lethality for young adult mice and guinea pigs, and loss of capacity to produce plaques or cytopathic effects in tissue culture. The suckling mouse was more sensitive for detecting live virus in radiated suspensions than was the adult mouse or guinea pig. Live virus was de...

Let $$G = (V,E)$$ be a connected simple graph of order p and size q. A G is called local antimagic if admits labeling. bijection $$f \colon E \to \{1,2,\ldots,q\}$$ labeling for any two adjacent vertices $$u$$ $$v$$ , we have $$f^+(u) \ne f^+(v)$$ where \sum_{e\in E(u)} f(e)$$ $$E(u)$$ the set edges incident to . Thus, induces proper vertex coloring assigned color $$f^+(v)$$ The chromatic numbe...

Using Galois theory, we explicitly construct (in all complex dimensions $$g\ge 2$$ ) an infinite family of simple $$g$$ -dimensional tori $$T$$ that enjoy the following properties: $$\bullet$$ Picard number is $$0;$$ in particular, algebraic dimension $$0$$ ; if $$T^\vee$$ dual , then $$\mathrm{Hom}(T,T^\vee)=\{0\}$$ automorphism group $$\mathrm{Aut}(T)$$ isomorphic to $$\{\pm 1\} \times \mathb...

In the study of a unified treatment of uncertainty modelled by means of combining probability and fuzzy set theory, Goodman [4] pointed out the equivalence of a fuzzy set and a class of random sets. Wang and Sanchez [13] introduced the theory of falling shadows which directly relates probability concepts with the membership function of fuzzy sets. Falling shadow representation theory shows us t...

The object of this paper is to study $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds. Some typical identities for the curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor of $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold are investigated. Further, we study globally $phi$-Ricci symmetric and weakly $phi$-Ricci symmetric $(epsilon)$-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds and obtain interesting results.

The isolation of arboviruses from patient's low titer sera can be difficult. Here we compared the detection efficiency of Dengue (DEN), Yellow Fever (YF), Saint Louis Encephalitis (SLE), West Nile (WN), Ilheus (ILH), Group C (GC), Oropouche (ORO), Mayaro (MAY) and Venezuela Encephalitis Equine (VEE) viruses using a Modified Shell Vial Culture (MSVC) protocol to a Standard Cell Culture (SCC) pro...

A survey was conducted from October 1, 1993 to June 30, 1995 to determine the arboviral etiologies of febrile illnesses in the city of Iquitos in the Amazon River Basin of Peru. The study subjects were patients who were enrolled at medical care clinics or in their homes by Peruvian Ministry of Health (MOH) workers as part of the passive and active disease surveillance program of the MOH. The cl...
