Changes in the technologies used in the latest generation of electronic fetal monitors has resulted generally in an improvement in the quality of the FHR data produced. However, in a number of instruments the use of inappropriate printers and signal processing has led to a degradation in the FHR trace. This may result in difficulties in interpretation of the data thereby putting the compromised...

Several parasitic species are well known to have carcinogenic properties, namely; Schistosoma hematobium (squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder) and the liver flukes Opisthorchis and Chlonorchis (cholangiocarcinoma). A large number of parasites are known to colonize the gastrointestinal tract. We sought to review the evidence that implicates these parasites in gastrointestinal neoplasia. Schis...

Is the presence of foveal stimulation a necessary prerequisite for rhesus monkeys to perform visually guided eye movements? To answer this question, we trained two rhesus monkeys to direct their eyes towards imaginary targets defined by extrafoveal cues. Independent of the type of target, real or imaginary, the trajectory of target movement determined the type of eye movement produced: steps in...

Presently, factorials of real negative numbers and imaginary numbers, except for zero and negative integers are interpolated using the Euler's gamma function. In the present paper, the concept of factorials has been generalised as applicable to real and imaginary numbers, and multifactorials. New functions based on Euler's factorial function have been proposed for the factorials of real negativ...

The corrosion inhibition effect of N,N′-bis(n-Hydroxybenzaldehyde)-1,3-Propandiimine on mild steel has been investigated in 1 M HCl using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. A predictive model was presented for Nyquist plots using an artificial neural network. The proposed model predicted the imaginary impedance based on the real part of the impedance as a function of time. The model to...
