We derive the explicit form of the (g − 2)(g − 3)/2 linearly independent relations among the products of pairs in a basis of holomorphic abelian differentials in the case of canonical curves of genus g ≥ 4. It turns out that Petri’s relations remarkably match in determinantal conditions. We explicitly express the volume form on the moduli space M̂g of canonical curves induced by the Siegel metri...

Vector surveillance is very key in solving mosquito-borne health problems Nigeria. To this end, the composition and distribution of mosquito vectors a peri-urban community surrounding an institution learning Lafia metropolis, Nasarawa State, Central Nigeria was carried out between December 2016 June 2017. The Prokopack Aspirator used to collect indoor resting mosquitoes 6:00 a.m. 9:00 from 30 r...

The word "serendipity" was entered into the lexicon by Horace Walpole in 1754. He had become intrigued with a Persian fairytale in which three princes of Serendip, (now Sri Lanka) traveled the world, "making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of..." Walpole proposed the new word, but then went on to give rather mundane examples of its meaning. It is only re...

The scheduling of mixed batch/continuous process plants is difficult since the model and solution have to deal with both discrete and continuous operations. Motivated by the need for the effective scheduling and control of operations in sugar milling, a new type of hybrid Petri nets called Hybrid Time Petri Nets(HTPN) is proposed, which allows the formulation of variable cycle time and variable...

Bioassays were conducted to study the effectiveness of selected chemicals to prevent the multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), from overwintering in buildings. We discovered that certain monoterpenoids elicited avoidance in adults toward treated Þlter paper within a petri dish bioassay at 1.0 mg/cm. Camphor and menthol were the most effective of the monoterpenoids tested. ...
