goat warble-fly infestation is caused by przhevalskiana silenus (diptra oestridae) larvae and it is characterized by the presence of warble under the hide of the back and flanks of the animal. this study was carried out from march 2009 to march 2010 on the hides sent to the khorasn leather industries for grading, processing and tanning. this study demonstrated from 340,797 goat hides examined 3...

The illusion of control refers to a phenomenon whereby people believe their chances of success at a task are greater than would be warranted by objective analysis. This article raises two questions. First, how robust is the illusion of control? Second, how might the illusion be 'shattered?' Previous experimental demonstrations involved situations that can be likened to unique or single-shot gam...

BACKGROUND Shot (previously named Kakapo), is a Drosophila Plakin family member containing both Actin binding and microtubule binding domains. In Drosophila, it is required for a wide range of processes, including axon extension, dendrite formation, axonal terminal arborization at the neuromuscular junction, tendon cell development, and adhesion of wing epithelium. RESULTS To address how Shot...

Partitioning a video sequence into shots is the first step toward video-content analysis and content-based video browsing and retrieval. A video shot is defined as a series of interrelated consecutive frames taken contiguously by a single camera and representing a continuous action in time and space. As such, shots are considered to be the primitives for higher level content analysis, indexing,...

screw-retained implant restorations have an advantage of predictable retention as well as retrievability, and obviate the risk of excessive sub-gingival cement commonly associated with cement retained implant restorations. screw-retained restorations generally have screw access holes, which can compromise esthetics and weaken the porcelain around the holes. the purpose of this study is to descr...

This paper presents an overview of different research paradigms that are used in research. The aim of this article focuses on qualitative research. Qualitative research has gaining momentum for the past decade or so. Unfortunately, not many people fully understand how to conduct a well designed qualitative research. It is hoped that this article can provide some guidance and assistance to those...

HITRAP is an ion trap facility which is designed for deceleration and cooling of highly charged ions produced by the GSI-accelerator facilities. The ions are decelerated in the ESR and then ejected at 4 MeV/u. Subsequently they are further decelerated by the HITRAP linac [1]. Since the HITRAP decelerator gets an ion bunch from the ESR every 50-60 seconds, it is necessary during linac commission...

In this paper, we study covert communication in wireless networks consisting of a transmitter, Alice, an intended receiver, Bob, a warden, Willie, and a Poisson field of interferers. Bob and Willie are subject to uncertain shot noise due to the ambient signals from interferers in the network. With the aid of stochastic geometry, we analyze the throughput of the covert communication between Alic...

A quantum analysis of intensity fluctuations for the above-threshold parametric four-wave mixing in a cavity, driven by two laser fields, is presented. A new possibility for the reduction of quantum fluctuations below the shot-noise level in the sum of intensities of two cavity-output coupled beams at the driving field frequencies is predicted. The calculation of the corresponding interbeam sec...

In this paper, we discuss a new method for detecting anchor shots in broadcast news video. Our approach makes use of face information that includes the position, the size and the number of faces detected in the image frame. To alleviate the adverse effects caused by occasional face detection errors, we propose two new ideas based on multiple queries and zero face padding. Our experiments over T...
