 Liquid impedance measurements based on capacitive (or contactless) electrodes overcome electrode polarization problems but are affected by stray capacitance from the material being measured to ground, the same as measurements with direct-contact electrodes. This study shows that the effects of that capacitance depend on the impedance being measured and for bipolar impedance measurements they ...

-This paper details the electromagnetic behavior and the effects of magnetic and electromagnetic shields used in large power transformers based on engineering-oriented benchmark models, and presents some newly calculated and measured results both the magnetic field and stray-field loss related to the models, and examine the engineering applicability of 3-D eddy current analysis methods and the ...

Abstract Background Cytidine monophospho-n-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase ( CMAH ) gene associated with blood groups in cats encodes enzyme that converts Neu5Ac to Neu5Gc. Although variations of pedigree have been revealed, the presence/lack them non-pedigree stray is unknown. Therefore, present study aimed investigate and quantity Neu5Gc on erythrocytes (n:12) living ?zmir, Turkey. Also, fr...

MICE, which is an acronym for Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment, is a technology demonstration which is presently assembled at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Didcot, UK. MICE aims to demonstrate ionization cooling experimentally, which is an essential technology for potential future accelerators such as a muon collider. The MICE channel consists of up to 18 large bore superconducting so...

Polypropylene metallized capacitors are of general use in power electronics because of their reliability, their self healing capabilities, and their low price. Though the behavior of metallized coiled capacitors has been discussed, no work was done about stacked and flattened metallized capacitors. The purpose of this article is to propose a simple analytical low frequency model of stacked capa...

The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of Dirofilaria immitis in stray, pet, and working dogs (n = 413, 266, and 103, resp.) from Guwahati (Assam) and Aizawl (Mizoram), areas located in two Northeastern States of India. Diagnostic methods applied were microscopy (wet film and Knott's concentration technique), immunological test (Ag ELISA by SNAP 4Dx ELISA kit), and molecul...

This study aimed to investigate intestinal helminth infection in stray dogs in Osaka Prefecture by surveying coprological samples from dogs captured from 2006-2011. Of 212 fecal samples collected, overall prevalence of infection was 39.2%. The most common species was Toxocara canis (25.0%), followed by Trichuris vulpis (8.0%), Spirometra erinaceieuropaei (3.3%), Taeniidae (2.4%), Ancylostoma ca...

benefited from antilittering campaigns and actions. We must similarly seek to make it politically incorrect and socially unacceptable to engage in biological littering resulting from irresponsible cat ownership and promotion of TNR programs. Veterinarians, with help from organizations like The Wildlife Society and the American Bird Conservancy and its " Cats Indoors! " program, should join hand...
