At the Conference held at Birnagar in February 1929 to discuss the problem of malaria in that town, I submitted a proposal for concentrating attack upon Anopheles philippinensis which was found to carry malarial parasites in Nature in the Nadia District. In preference to a general campaign against anophelines, Sir Malcolm Watson, who presided at the meeting, accepted the view that the breeding ...

The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill affected more than 2000 km of shoreline. DWH oil entered the nearshore environment, stranding on shorelines as tar balls and/or emulsified oil, or forming submerged oil mats and integrating into nearshore sediments. The available chemistry data showed submerged sediments, especially within the first 50 m from oiled shorelines, displayed patchy distributions...

Chemical oil dispersants are proprietary mixtures of surfactants and solvents which are directly applied to a spill in order to reduce the natural attractive forces of the oil. When oil treated with dispersants is exposed to mixing energy, typically from wind and wave action, it is broken up into small droplets which may then become entrained in the water column (Li et al., 2009a; Li et al., 20...

One of the efforts to prevent complications diabetic neuropathy in patients is foot care such as washing feet every day, drying and oiling them, examining for ulcers signs pre-ulceration, wearing well-closed footwear at home. or outside house. In performing care, DM sufferers must have strong intentions beliefs so that they can run it well. This study aimed determine factors related intention p...

Gauge blocks are an important basis for maintaining traceability in dimensional metrology, used calibrating length measuring instruments and adjustments all branches of manufacturing. Their feature is that they can be wrung with small uncertainty. An overview the factors influencing accuracy a stack length, such as quality gauge (grade, wear), surface preparation (cleaning usage lubricant), wri...

Abstract To investigate the variation regularity of characteristic droplet diameters in swirling flow field, experimental research and numerical simulations were conducted. In experiments, white oil–water hydraulic mixture a 100-mm-diameter pipe field tested. A Malvern size analyzer an electrical resistance tomography used to measure distribution local oil volume fraction, respectively. simulat...

Around one in four people suffer from mental illness at some stage in their lifetime. There is increasing awareness of the importance of nutrition, particularly omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), for optimal brain development and function. Hence in recent decades, researchers have explored effects of n-3 PUFA on mental health problems over the lifespan, from developmental disorders...
