b a ckground: babesiosis is a haemoparasitic disease of domestic and wild animals caused by species of the genus bab esia . bab esia bigemina , b . bovis and b . divergens are known to be pathogenic in cattle. the disease is transmit- ted during blood feeding by infected ticks and is the most economically important tick-borne disease in tropical and subtropical areas. ixodid ticks are vectors i...

With increased frequency, mass tortfeasors are turning to Chapter 11 address their liabilities, dragging enormous numbers of tort victims into bankruptcy court with them. These individuals deserve fair and dignified treatment. Indeed, if we care about people’s experiences within, the public’s trust in, courts, such treatment is essential. Yet contemporary corporate law literature leave little r...

Abstract This chapter interrogates “data justice” through the lenses of feminist and legal studies to reconfigure data justice as a multidimensional, interdisciplinary practice in IT-design. First, we look at how is framed research feminist-informed critical design perspectives, well it conceptualised law, particularly context European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) debates around pr...

A spatio-temporal analysis was carried out to see how the risk distribution of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in France changed depending on the period of birth. The data concerned the 539 BSE cases born in France after the ban (BAB) of meat and bone meal (MBM) in 1990 and detected between July 1, 2001 and December 31, 2003, when the surveillance of BSE was comprehensive. Seventy-two of...

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of black adzuki bean (BAB) extract on adipocytes, and to elucidate the cellular mechanisms. In order to examine the proliferation of preadipocytes and differentiating adipocytes, cell viability and DNA content were measured over a period of time. Lipid accumulation during cell differentiation and the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects...

The selection of controlled variables (CVs) from available measurements through enumeration of all possible alternatives is computationally forbidding for large-dimensional problems. In Part I of this work [5], we proposed a bidirectional branch and bound (BAB) approach for subset selection problems and demonstrated its efficiency using the minimum singular value criterion. In this paper, the B...
