An outbreak of African Horse Sickness (AHS) in Ethiopia was investigated in order to isolate and identify circulating serotypes of African Horse Sickness Virus in Ethiopian equines between July and September 2003. Six hundred and fifty (650) equines of different species (horse, donkey, mule) were examined. Viral specimens were collected from 12 acutely sick and moribund animals. Clinical and ne...

We present the design and veriication of inter-vehicle communication protocols for degraded modes of operation on Automated Highway System (AHS). We consider various hardware and sensor faults that can develop on the automated vehicle in an AHS and design discrete event supervisory controllers to stop the faulty vehicle or take it out of the highway in a safe manner. The protocols are veriied f...

The current advancement of robotics, especially in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), leads to a prominent combination between the mining industry and connected-embedded technologies. This progress has arisen form state-of-the-art automated giant vehicles with Autonomous Haulage (AHS) that can transport ore without human intervention. Like CPS, AHS enable autonomous and/or remote control physical sy...

The enzyme acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHS), which catalyses the first common step in the biosynthesis of isoleucine, leucine and valine, has been demonstrated to be present in Spirufinupfutensis in two isoenzymic forms. The complete nucleotide sequences of the genes ifuX and ifu W encoding these two enzymes have been determined. Sequence analysis revealed the presence of two open reading frame...
