BACKGROUND Due to importance and fatal affect of Red-back spiders, Latrodectus hasselti, a faunistic survey for presence of this spider in Bandar Abbas has been conducted. This animal is considerably the most medically importance spiders all over the world. METHODS Live adult spider specimens were collected from Bandar Abbas town using hand catch conventional method and transferred to the lab...

In this paper the efficiency of the method of Least Squares Harmonic Estimation (LS-HE) for detecting the main tidal frequencies is investigated. Using this method, the tidal spectrum of the sea level data is evaluated at two tidal stations: Bandar Abbas in south of Iran and Workington on the eastern coast of the UK. The amplitudes of the tidal constituents at these two tidal stations are not t...

We prove that a certain series defines a constant function using Wolpert’s formula for the variation of the length of a geodesic along a Fenchel Nielsen twist. Subsequently we determine the value viewing it as function on the the Deligne Mumford compactification M1,1 and evaluating it at the stable curve at infinity. Conventions: 1. For γ an essential closed curve on a surface lγ(x) is the leng...

We compute explicitly the anisotropy eeect in the H 1 term, generated in the approximation of the Mumford-Shah functional by nite element spaces deened on structured triangulations.

Two important aspects of the epidemiology of suicides in the elderly people can potentially be applied to dementia. The first is the well-established observation of the independent effects of age, birth cohort membership, and the period on the risk of suicide in the elderly people (Murphy et al., 1986; Surtees and Duffy, 1989; Snowdon and Hunt, 2002). The second is the recently developed concep...

In this paper, we present some common fixed point theorems for four maps in partially ordered partial metric spacess. Our results generalize the main theorems of Abbas, Nazir and Radenović [1].

We propose a variational approach for deblurring and impulsive noise removal in multi-channel images. A robust data fidelity measure and edge preserving regularization are employed. We consider several regularization approaches, such as Beltrami flow, Mumford-Shah and Total-Variation Mumford-Shah. The latter two methods are extended to multi-channel images and reformulated using the Γ -converge...

News anti-malarial measures would deliver benefits of more than US$ 400 billion, according to the report. Dr Fatoumata Nafo-Traore, director of WHO's Roll Back Malaria Department , said she was quite happy to see malaria ranked as it was. " The panel acknowledged that malaria prevention and treatment have a high benefit–cost ratio. Their proposal would make a huge difference. From our viewpoint...
