Clostridium perfringens (CP) and sulphite reducing clostridia (SRC) densities in the Selangor River, Bernam River and Tengi River Canal were examined between April 2007 and January 2008. Water samples were taken from two or three locations along each river, using either depth-integration or grab sampling methods. The downstream sampling site of the Selangor River, Rantau Panjang, reported the h...

We discuss SU(Nc) gauge theory coupled to two adjoint chiral superfields X and Y , and a number of fundamental chiral superfields Q. We add a superpotential that has the form of Arnold’s D series W = Tr X + Tr XY . We present a dual description in terms of an SU(3kNf − Nc) gauge theory, and we show that the duality passes many tests. At the end of the paper, we show how a deformation of this su...

I survey the parameter space of NAHE-based free fermionic heterotic string models. First, I discuss flat directions of the low energy effective field theories and show that D-flat directions need not be isomorphic to gauge invariant superpotential terms. Next, I review recent studies of three generation SU(3)C × SU(2)L × U(1)Y , SU(3)C ×SU(2)L ×SU(2)R ×U(1)B−L, SU(4)C × SU(2)L ×U(1)Y ′ , and fl...

Background: A better understanding of hypoglycaemia risk when insulin is used in combination with one or more oral antidiabetes agents may assist in the treatment decision-making process for the clinician and address concerns regarding hypoglycaemia when initiating or intensifying insulin therapy. The objective of this study was to analyse efficacy and hypoglycaemia outcomes in people with type...

The paper presents the state-of-the-art in flood forecasting and simulation applied to a river flood analysis and risk prediction. Different water flow forecasting and river simulation models are analysed. An advanced river flood forecasting and modelling approach developed within the ongoing project INFROM is described. It provides an integrated procedure for river flow forecasting and simulat...

OBJECTIVES The main objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-depressant effects of pharmacopuncture using sumsu (Bufonis venenum). METHODS Animals were divided into three groups (control, sham, and experimental), with eight mice per group. The sham and the experimental groups were exposed to 2 hours of immobilization stress daily for 14 days. They were also injected with normal saline...

The Merrifield-Simmons index i G of a graph G is defined as the number of subsets of the vertex set, in which any two vertices are nonadjacent, that is, the number of independent vertex sets of G The Hosoya index z G of a graph G is defined as the total number of independent edge subsets, that is, the total number of its matchings. By C n, k, λ we denote the set of graphs with n vertices, k cyc...
