The control of ticks with vaccines is of global interest. Experimental vaccines incorporate new technologies as soon as they are available. Historically, the main vaccine studies have focused on the one-host cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus, and efficacy evaluations have been standardised for this tick species. On the other hand, evaluations of vaccine candidates for three-host ticks are bei...

Although nowadays performed on a routine basis, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is associated with the potential for major complications. Improving the safety remains therefore an important challenge. This article summarizes the different types of complications associated with AF ablation grouping them into clinically overt major complications, subclinical injury and permanent injury. ...

Chore division, introduced by Gardner in 1970s [10], is the problem of fairly dividing a chore among n different agents. In particular, in an envy-free chore division, we would like to divide a negatively valued heterogeneous object among a number of agents who have different valuations for different parts of the object, such that no agent envies another agent. It is the dual variant of the cel...

objective: in order to study the effect of different concentrations of iba hormone on rooting of olive cuttings in spring and winter of 2012-2013 in a greenhouse in jiroft, iran. methods: a split-plot experiment was conducted on the basis of a randomized complete block design in which hardwood cuttings of one-year-old olive plants cv. manzanilla with the diameter of 0.7-1 cm were used. the main...

on account of some complexities such as fluid-structure interaction and extra-large deformation problems, complete simulation of abrasive water jet cutting process is very hard. the main goal of this paper is to overcome these difficulties through comprehensive simulation in ls-dyna commercial software. for this purpose the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (sph) and arbitrary lagrangian eulerian...

surface roughness is one of the most important parameters that plays very critical role in determining the quality of engineering components. a good surface quality resulting in improve of fatigue strength, corrosion and wear resistance of the workpiece. on the other hand, increasing cutting speed and decreasing time of machining are desirable for manufacturers in order to reduce costs and incr...

Experiences of autism-spectrum disorder are now increasingly studied by social scientists. Human-animal relations have also become a major focus of social inquiry in recent years. Examining horse-assisted therapy for autistic spectrum disorders, this is the first paper that brings these fields together. Drawing on participant observation and interviews at a UK horse therapy Centre, this article...

BACKGROUND Young children are one of the most vulnerable groups who may be infected with cholera. The following literature review of the efficacy of the currently available cholera vaccines provides a clear evidence base for the clinical administration of cholera vaccine, particularly in an epidemic situation. AIM To assess the efficacy of oral cholera vaccines in preventing cases of cholera ...

experiments were conducted at the horticulture research farm of horticulture department, bangabandhu sheikh mujibur rahman agricultural university (bsmrau), salna, gazipur during december, 2007 to may, 2009 to investigate the effect of bulb cutting and potting media on propagation of hippeastrum. the bulb cutting significantly influenced all the parameters except days required to first leaf eme...

an effort carried out to find out the smaller size of cuttings for propagation ofmorus alba in experimental area, department of forestry, range management and wildlife, university of agriculture, faisalabad, 2005. different size of cuttings i.e.5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm were planted in polythene tubes of 9 cm x 18 cm. the attempt was also made to compare the performance of cuttings outdoor a...
