In the northeast United States, control of West Nile virus (WNV) vectors has been unfocused because of a lack of accurate knowledge about the roles different mosquitoes play in WNV transmission. We analyzed the risk posed by 10 species of mosquitoes for transmitting WNV to humans by using a novel risk-assessment measure that combines information on the abundance, infection prevalence, vector co...

To meet the demands of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where data are usually aggregated at a single source prior to transmitting to any distant user, there is a need to establish a tree structure inside any given event region. In this paper , a novel technique to create one such tree is proposed .This tree preserves the energy and maximizes the lifetime of event sources while they are constant...

Compaction relocates active subcubes in a fragmented hypercube so as to produce a contiguous free region and eliminate the adverse impact of fragmentation on performance. The overhead of compaction is often contributed primarily by task migration, which makes use of disjoint paths for transmitting migrated data. Since task migration usually involves transmitting a large amount of data, the time...

Estimated transmitting abilities for milk of 258,201 Holstein heifers from first lactations were regressed on sire's milk proof, maternal grandsire's milk proof, and either dam's estimated transmitting ability from milk in first lactation or dams's estimated transmitting ability from milk of all lactations. Effects of year of birth of dam, dam's estimated transmitting ability for milk from firs...

Architectures for interconnection networks can be represented by graphs, while vertices represent processors and edges represent communication links between processors. We use the terms vertices and processors interchangeably. Let G = (V, E ) be a graph representing the topology for an interconnection network. Let vo be a special vertex outside GI called the host processor, which is connected t...

Recently proposed Hole-Filler model is promising for transmitting and evaluating streamed XML fragments. However, by simply matching filler IDs with hole IDs, associating all the correlated fragments to complete the query path would result in blocking. Taking advantage of region-based coding scheme, this paper models the query expression into query tree and proposes a set of techniques to optim...

It is shown how the stochastic Liouville approach of Freed, Bruno. and Polnaszek for describing ESR lineshapes in the slow motional region may be applied to the ELDOR experiment. It is possible, in the slow motional region, to pump with a saturating microwave field at one resonant frequency corresponding to a particular orientation and observe effects from the rotational motion in transmitting ...

Mosquitoes apart from a biting nuisance, are responsible for transmitting diseases like malaria, filariasis, dengue, dengue haemorrhagic fever, etc. Malaria is one of the most formidable and serious public health problems in northeastern region (NE) of India in general and Assam in particular1. Stable malaria with preponderance of Plasmodium falciparum infection (60–90%) is the main characteris...
