SOME ASPECTS OF THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF BABESIA BOVIS IN SANTANA DO LIVRAMENTO, SOUTHERN BRAZIL. Some aspects of the epidemiology of Babesia bovis were studied in Santana do Livramento, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil by analysing cattle raising practices applied to 101 herds and by diagnosing B. bovis antibodies in cattle of about 11 months old using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of maritime transportation instability on international trade instability based on wavelet smoothing and spatial panel data econometric method during the period 1990-2012. The results showed that the spatial effects have an impact on international trade instability. So that a sudden 100 percent increase in international trade in the nei...

Financial instability has increased for many economies in the face of greater capital mobility. Eliminating capital flows, especially portfolio investment flows, may reduce volatility, but it could also result in domestic capital constraints. To overcome this dilemma, policymakers may consider alternatives, such as progressive income taxation, that could raise domestic funds. In this paper, we ...

conclusion significant functional performance deficits were observed in the fai group in all tests except single hop test with greater deficits observed in the fai-gw group. hence, these tests can be used to determine the presence of fai. however no deficits were identified for the test involving sagittal plane functional activities suggesting that this test can not be used as a criterion to di...

when a jack-up installed at a clay location and then leaves; it can create several meter deep footprints. in case of soft clay, the spudcan may have actually penetrated much deeper than the observed footprints. when the penetrated spudcan is pulled out, much of the soft remolded clay will flow around it and go back into the hole. this event, leaving a deep region of disturbed soil. the disturbe...
