demographic analyses of dubas bug, ommatissus lybicus de bergevin, (hemiptera: tropiduchidae), reared on five date palm varieties (zahdi, mazafati, piarom, khasi, and shahani) were constructed under laboratory conditions at 27±1ºc, 70±5% rh, and a 14:10 hours (l: d) photoperiod. data were analyzed based on the age-stage, two-sex life table theory to take the variable developmental rate among in...

ethiopia's childhood mortality has continued to decline although at a swift pace. the drop in urban childhood mortality decline, duration of breastfeeding is the principle reason for the overall decline in mortality trends in ethiopia.  data from the ethiopian demographic and health surveys 2000 and 2005 were used. indirect estimation of brass and trussell's methods were adopted. selected demog...

Any public administration that produces translation data can be a provider of useful reusable data to meet its own translation needs and the ones of other public organizations and private companies that work with texts of the same domain. These data can also be crucial to produce domain-tuned Machine Translation systems. The organization's management of the translation process, the characterist...

This document describes the Cherenkov detector that is to be constructed for the Hall A neutron d2 experiment (E06-014). The inclusive nature of that experiment makes the addition of the Cerenkov counter for pion and proton rejection critical for the low energy bins. Monte Carlo and analysis of G E suggest particle rates of (assuming a 500MeV ee threshold on the the BigBite shower detector): • ...
