Precise modeling of radio propagation is necessary for experiencing the benefits of wireless technology for indoor environments. Among many modeling techniques, the ray tracing based prediction models become popular for indoor wireless radio propagation characterization. Though the ray tracing models are popular, their key deficiency is the slower performance. In this paper, an accelerated tech...

Mirroring the global increase of registered cases of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL), this infection has become a growing public health problem in Brazil during the last several years. As the traditional approach to control employed by the governmental health agencies has failed to reduce the incidence and epidemic outbreaks of this illness, we propose a re-evaluation of the national stra...

BACKGROUND The direct agglutination test (DAT) has proved to be a very important sero-diagnostic tool combining high levels of intrinsic validity and ease of performance. Otherwise, fast agglutination screening test (FAST) utilises only one serum dilution making the test very suitable for the screening of large populations. RESULTS We have tested FAST and DAT for the detection anti-Leishmania...

We present a set of local rules to deal with dictionaries Their main advantage is that they can be scheduled in a highly synchronized way to get parallel dictionaries on AVL trees Up to now trees used in massively parallel dictionaries needed to have all the leaves at the same depth such as trees Therefore it was possible in insertions and deletions the bottom up reconstruction of the tree in a...

Background: According to the drug resistance and side effects of the standard treatments for leishmaniasis, achieving effective treatment with less side effects and more benefits is of paramount importance. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Aloe vera leaf exudate on Leishmania major under in vitro and in vivo models, in inbred BALB/c mice. Methods: Different concentrations of bo...

Abstract Tightening noose on engine emission norms compelled manufacturers globally to design engines with low specially NO x and soot without compromising their performance. Amongst various parameters, shape of piston bowls, injection pressure nozzle diameter are known have significant influence over the thermal performance emanating from engine. This paper investigates combined effect fuel pa...
