Conventional treatment is mechanical removal of the larvae (maggots) one by one, which is painful, distressing, and embarrassing both to the patient and to the dentist. We present a case report of a patient with cerebral palsy that had oral myiasis treated successfully with ivermectin. The use of this antibiotic in humans, its m...

In this paper we present a navigation system for a mobile robot that is capable of operating in dynamic environments. Mapbuilding is based on landmark detection , with landmarks being established through a process of self-organisation of the robot's sensory data. The resultant map can then be used to determine, and subsequently follow, arbitrary paths through the environment. The results of sev...

Object-oriented design principles map well onto protocol implementations because protocols essentially manipulate two structures—packets and the states of the endpoints. In this paper we describe an implementation of the Xpress Transfer Protocol as a user-space daemon written in C++. The object-oriented model forces the programmer to properly place functionality and information ownership. The m...
