The habit of diluting cow's milk, then boiling it and .aking off the cream before administering it to children Is a common practice in these parts. With the advent ?* dairies nowadays, milk from which cream is taken ?}vay is being offered for sale and many people buy it.? *?urs truly, (Sd.) U. Krishna...

stitutional symptoms are profound. (2) A fatal condition such as lymphadenoma or tuberculous meningitis should never be finally diagnosed, even though strongly suspected, unless there is irrefutable proof. (3) It is always tempting to regard as tuberculous a persistent pyrexia for which no cause can be found, and so to make a diagnosis of probability on quite inadequate evidence. Tuberculosis i...

Given the popularity of feeding white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Texas and the increasing amount of corn that is distributed, more information is needed on the impacts of this activity on non-target wildlife. Our objectives were to report visitation, intra- and interspecific contact, and contact rates of wildlife at artificial feeding sites in Texas. Our study was conducted at thre...

The Midwestern United States is dominated by agricultural production with high concentrations of swine, leading to application of swine manure onto lands with artificial subsurface drainage. Previous reports have indicated elevated levels of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in surface water and groundwater around confined animal feeding operations which administer antimicrobials. While previo...

Feeding on the blood of vertebrates is a risky task for haematophagous insects and it can be reasonably assumed that it should also be costly in terms of energetic expenditure. Blood circulates inside vessels and it must be pumped through narrow tubular stylets to be ingested. We analysed the respiratory pattern and the energetic cost of taking a blood meal in Rhodnius prolixus using flow-throu...

The in vitro maintenance technique described in this article has been used successfully to rear Cimex lectularius (L.) by feeding for >2 yr all nymphal stages and adults through parafilm "M" sealing film on different types of blood. Using this feeding technique, the subsequent egg production of female bedbugs was remarkably high. The blood was maintained at 37 degrees C to enhance the attachmen...

We evaluated an artificial capillary feeding method to infect nymphal Ixodes scapularis (Say) ticks with Borrelia burgdoeferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. Thirty to 70% of the nymphs were infected after feeding for 2.5 h from glass capillary tubes filled with a solution of spirochetes. Capillary infection was stable and persisted in the nymphs for at least 10 d after feeding. Capillary...

Abstract AHA (artificial hummingbird algorithm) is a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm that simulates the unique flight and feeding patterns of hummingbirds. By combining excellent strategy artificial with framework multi-objective algorithm, created, improved, further enhanced. Therefore, research on vision-guided grasping control robots based an enhanced has significant academic significa...
