Technical Appendix Figure. Distribution of Gulf Coast ticks and cases of rickettsiosis. Solid circles indicate confirmed cases of Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis, and open circles indicate probable cases of R. parkeri rickettsiosis noted by Paddock et al. (1) and Cragun et al. (2). A) Gray area indicates the most established distribution of Gulf Coast ticks (Amblyomma maculatum); asterisks (*)...

Recently, Baghery et al. [1, 2] presented some attacks on two RFID protocols, namely Yoon and Jung et al. protocols, and proposed the improved version of them. However, in this note, we show that the improved version of the Jung et al. protocol suffers from desynchronization attack and the improved version of the Yoon's protocol suffers from secret disclosure attack. The succe...

  Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...

Peripheral nerves are structures that suffer injuries similar to those seen in other tissues, resulting in important motor and sensory disabilities. It is estimated that the incidence of traumatic lesions is as high as 500.000 cases per year in some countries, where 2,8% of the patients become permanently disabled due to prolonged nerve regeneration time (Noble et al., 1998; Rodrígues et al., 2...

Incorporation of [Fe(bipy)Cl4][bipy.H] (1) (where bipy is 2,2′-bipyridine) in the molecular sieves of the type LTA, NaY and mesoporous Al-MCM-41 by using a “ship in a bottle synthesis” approach was investigated. [Fe(bipy)Cl4][bipy.H] was successfullyincorporated in the channels ofmesoporousAl-MCM-41, and the product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, FTIR and BET analysis. It was fou...
