African horse sickness (AHS) is a controlled animal disease in South Africa, and as a result of the high mortality rates experienced, outbreaks in the AHS controlled area in the Western Cape Province have a significant impact on affected properties as well as on the exportation of live horses from the AHS free zone in metropolitan Cape Town. An outbreak of AHS serotype 1 occurred in the surveil...

The fixed point theorems in metric spaces are playing a major role to construct methods in mathematics to solve problems in applied mathematics and sciences. So the attraction of metric spaces to a large numbers of mathematicians is understandable. Some generalizations of the notion of a metric space have been proposed by some authors. In 2006, Mustafa in collaboration with Sims introduced a ne...

Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS) have long been mostly domainor application-specific systems. Existing reference models provide domain-independent high-level descriptions of AHS. They focus on abstract data structures and only briefly describe the adaptation process in a generic way. In this paper we consider the process aspects of AHS from the very first classical user modelling-adaptation lo...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary turmeric rhizome powder (trp) as a natural antioxidant, and soybean oil, canola oil and tallow on lipid metabolism, blood metabolites, immune system, and antioxidant status of broiler chickens before (bhs, 28 d) and after exposure to heat stress (ahs, 42 d). seven hundred and ninety two d-old male arian broilers were randomly allotted ...

Although a number of frameworks exist for the evaluation of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHS), recently suggested layered frameworks have proved useful in identifying the exact cause of the adaptation failure or any other error in the system. This paper presents an evaluation framework for AHS for internet which is an extension of the layered frameworks and adds new dimensions to them. It treat...
