In this paper, we generalize the notion of border bases of zerodimensional polynomial ideals to the module setting. To this end, we introduce order modules as a generalization of order ideals and module border bases of submodules with finite codimension in a free module as a generalization of border bases of zero-dimensional ideals in the first part of this paper. In particular, we extend the d...

Emerging infectious disease outbreaks over the past 50 years reinforce need for bioprotection capabilities at borders. Migrations of vulnerable populations have contributed to diseases spread, creating threats health security affected nations. The present study investigated aspects integrated security, and agricultural defense on Brazil-Venezuela border, analyzing some installed capacities impa...

Disease control programs aim to constrain and reduce the spread of infection. Human disease interventions such as wildlife vaccination play a major role in determining the limits of a pathogen's spatial distribution. Over the past few decades, a raccoon-specific variant of rabies virus (RRV) has invaded large areas of eastern North America. Although expansion into Canada has been largely preven...

This issue of Preventing Chronic Disease gives special attention to a recent binational effort to develop novel reproductive health surveillance methods in the USMexico border region. The effort began in 2000, when the US and Mexican governments established the United States-Mexico Border Health Commission (USMBHC), specifically to provide international and collaborative leadership to improve h...

A 28-week-old sheep was presented at the animal hospital because of chronic emaciation, anemia and slight diarrhea. Due to poor general condition and bad prognosis the animal was euthanized and submitted for postmortem investigation. Multiple erosions and ulcerations were found in the dorsal region of the tongue, the pharynx, the hard palate, in the esophagus and the ruminal pillars. Histologic...

Our recent neurochemical studies of congenital myelin disorders in lambs and piglets have included fairly detailed chemical analysis of the spinal cord both in experimental (Patterson et al., 1971a) and the naturally occurring form (Patterson et al., 19746) of Border disease in lambs. The aetiological, pathological and other characteristics of the disease have been reviewed by Patterson (1974) ...

Three patients with clinically mild non-responsive adult coeliac syndrome were treated for eight weeks with oral zinc sulphate, and detailed biochemical and morphological studies were performed on the jejunal mucosa before and on treatment. Plasma zinc levels were reduced before treatment and rose to normal levels with therapy; mucosal zinc was normal before treatment and increased after therap...
