We describe isolation and characterization of the first microsatellite loci specifically developed for African weakly electric fish (Mormyridae), for the genus Campylomormyrus . Seventeen of our 18 loci are polymorphic within the Campylomormyrus numenius species complex . The polymorphic loci showed four to 15 alleles per locus, an expected heterozygosity between 0.46 and 0.94, and an observed ...

The problem of environmental pollution and health hazards due to inappropriate solid waste disposal is critical in developing countries like Ethiopia, Nekemte town one the Ethiopia facing from lack appropriate dumping site which leads surface ground water environment around area. Therefore, main objective this study selection suitable for using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools. Selecti...

We describe efforts over the last six years to implement regularization methods suitable for studying one or more interacting black holes by direct N-body simulations. Three different methods have been adapted to large-N systems: (i) Time-Transformed Leapfrog, (ii) Wheel-Spoke, and (iii) Algorithmic Regularization. These methods have been tried out with some success on GRAPE-type computers. Spe...

Abstract. In this paper, we prove some a priori stability estimates (in weighted Sobolev spaces) for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff (covering every physical collision kernels). These estimates are conditioned to some regularity estimates on the solutions, and therefore reduce the stability and uniqueness issue to the one of proving suitable regularity bounds...

We propose a new algorithm, a reeective Newton method, for the minimization of a quadratic function of many variables subject to upper and lower bounds on some of the variables. The method applies to a general (indeenite) quadratic function, for which a local minimizer subject to bounds is required, and is particularily suitable for the large-scale problem. Our new method exhibits strong conver...

Land evaluation procedure given by FAO for soil site suitability for various land utilization types for rainfed agriculture has been used to assess the land suitability for khasi mandarin orange and pineapple in East Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya. The database on soil and land use/land cover was generated from IRS-P6 remote sensing satellite data, soil survey and laboratory analysis of soil...
