Increasing levels of diagnosed cases of autism have alarmed parents and health officials, but the cause has not been established. It has been hypothesized that vaccination itself, or some component in vaccines, may be somehow related to the onset of autism in some cases (Delong, 2011; Gallagher & Goodman, 2010). Researchers have sought to alleviate such concerns. Although most studies report nu...

CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY AS A DISCIPLINE has evolved rapidly dur ing the last decade. However, application of epidemiotogic principles in surgical clinical research has been limited. In the March 1996 issue of SURGERY we discussed the principles, application, and limitations of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in surgery. RCTs are often viewed as the gold standard for evaluation of therapeutic ef...

Marine birnavirus (MBVs) infect a wide range of fish and shellfish. Yet their mode of transmission is still unclear. To determine marine plankton serve as a vector for MABVs. The marine birnavirus (MABVs) is a member of Aquabirnavirus and an opportunistic pathogenic form among eukaryotic marine organisms and determine the viral presence in zooplankton as a vector, molecular diagnosis can be use...

Breed differences for weight (CW), height (CH), and condition score (CS) were estimated from records (n = 12,188) of 2to 6-yr-old cows (n = 744) from Cycle IV of the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center’s Germplasm Evaluation (GPE) Program. Cows were produced from mating Angus and Hereford dams to Angus, Hereford, Charolais, Shorthorn, Galloway, Longhorn, Nellore, Piedmontese, and Salers sires. Sam...

Tradi t ional object-oriented real-time sy s t ems are oft e n l imited in that t h e y provide only one approach t o real-time object support. Taking the increasing dem a n d for flexible and extensible object support environmen t s i n t o account, we discuss the design and imp lemen ta t ion of a smal l object-oriented real-time execut ive based o n a sub-framework which we call Roo. Roo is ...

This paper deals with a solution approach suitable for (:omposite PDEs with interface conditions. We present a general framework based on interface relaxation which provides a uniform platform for building problem solving environmen\.s t1lrough efficient softwaIe integration and for implementing various relaxation schemes. Mathematically, this framework contains many existing domain decompositi...

In this paper we propose a new approach based on a heuristic search for UAVs path planning with terrestrial wireless network tracking. In a previous work we proposed and exact solution based on an integ er linear formulation of the problem. Unfortunately, the exact resolution is limited by the computation complexity. In this case, we propose in this paper a new approach based on a heuristic sea...
