the variability of temperature and precipitation is regarded as one of the main characteristics of the climate.precipitation and its results, especially results such as droughts, vary on different temporal and spatial scales. thepurpose of this paper is to determine the frequency of the inter-annual variability of the driest month in north-westiran. in order to obtain the best results, we used ...

background: the plerocercoid stage of pseudophyllideancestoda infected a wide range of fresh water fish,particularly the members of the cyprinidae family. the parasitespecies are the most common pathogens that have severe effectson fish. objectives: the aim of the present study is todetermine the occurrence and distribution of the plerocercoid ofdiphyllobothriidae in two freshwater fish from no...

The Kingdom of Nepal is a landlocked country bordered by the Tibet, an Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China in the north and of the Republic of India in all other directions. It o o o is situated between the 26 22'N and 30 27'N latitudes and 80 4'E o and 88 12'E longitudes. Its altitude varies from 80 meters above mean sea level in the southern Terai to 8,848 meters above mean 1 ...

Randomly selected goat sera from north-western, central, and south-western regions of Uganda were analyzed parasitologically and serologically for evidence of anaplasmosis. Prevalence rates of 3.2% by parasitemia, 4.8% by card-agglutination test, and 12.9% by DOT-ELISA combined with western blotting were established. Parasitologically positive samples were consistently serologically positive. P...

Article: The Winter 1986 issue of IMAGE contained a timely and much needed critical analysis of NANDA Nursing Diagnosis Taxonomy I. In this article, Porter identifies the major problem of the NANDA Nursing Diagnosis Taxonomy I—its lack of logical consistency. However, her discussion of the problem reflects some general misunderstanding within nursing about the nature or characteristics of taxon...

Integers have many interesting properties. In this paper it will be shown that, for an arbitrary nonconstant arithmetic progression {an}TM=l of positive integers (denoted by N), either {an}TM=l contains infinitely many palindromic numbers or else 10|aw for every n GN. (This result is a generalization of the theorem concerning the existence of palindromic multiples, cf. [2].) More generally, for...

Patterns of genetic diversity have previously been shown to mirror geography on a global scale and within continents and individual countries. Using genome-wide SNP data on 5174 Swedes with extensive geographical coverage, we analyzed the genetic structure of the Swedish population. We observed strong differences between the far northern counties and the remaining counties. The population of Da...

Nepal is a landlocked country in southern Asia, between China and India, with a total land area of 140,800 square kilometres. Topographic variations are extreme and the terrain has a general southward slope. The topography ranges from rugged high Himalaya in the north, to the central hill region, to the lower-lying Siwalik Range (south-central) and down to the ‘terai’ or flat river plain in the...
