Casimir forces of massive ferrnionic Dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. It is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields Casimir force for each degree of freedom. We argue this equalit...

Mosquitoes and the pathogens they transmit are ubiquitous throughout most of the temperate and tropical regions of the world. The natural and pre-European distribution and diversity of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases throughout much of the Pacific region, however, depicts a depauperate and relatively benign fauna reinforcing the dream of “paradise regained”. In the central and South Paci...

This work, coming after Mr. Morris's admirable monograph, does not appear at the most favourable time. It is the Jacksonian Prize Essay of 1886, and was written before Mr. Morris's work appeared. What the Jacksonian Prize is, and how, why, and wherefore it is awarded, we have not the remotest idea. But if, in 1886, it was intended to be given to the author of the best work on renal surgery, the...
