in the third season excavation of lama cemetery (chal shahin lama), a cylindrical seal with inscription was found and because of its significance, it was introduced, compared and analyzed. existence of this seal indicates the continuation of nomadic practices of the people of this cemetery in spite of change of material culture (for example, ceramic). the seal of lama and its grave reflect the ...

An attenuated live bluetongue virus (AL-BTV) serotype 8 vaccine of South African origin was evaluated for its ability to protect sheep against challenge with a European BTV-8 isolated from an outbreak. Two groups of sero-negative sheep were vaccinated with either a single or booster vaccination and challenged subcutaneously 28 days following vaccination. Groups of vaccinated challenged sheep sh...

There exist liberal goals of a network system’s use for which strong technologies are advocated. However, these technologies may favour only those who employ them and hence shift power compared to how people act and do business today. This encourages the deprived to also look for stronger technology to promote their position. In this technological ‘arms race’ both sides omit the equivalent of s...

Incident in water distribution systems (WDS) cause loss and contamination that requires the utility managers to assess condition of pipelines a timely manner. However, are long access all parts it is chal-lenging task; current in-pipe robots have limitations short-distance inspection inability operate in-service networks. In this work, we improve design our previously developed robot analyze ef...

Oreochromis niloticus be-coming a promising aqua-culture species globally, but recent disease outbreaks and poor growth with commer-cial feed making it chal-lenging. A 60 days long aquarium trial series of laboratory assays have been conducted to assess the performance O. fed locally available commercial pro-biotic. fry’s were mixture basal diet probiotics supplementation at level 0% (control),...

China’s relations with the African continent continues to be misrepresented within the Western (North American and European) academe. This is due, in part, to the methodological and epistemological assumptions underpinning many research agendas. These agendas are founded upon a range of histories, theories and frameworks that have been produced in the West, by the West, and for a particular end...

One of the biggest drawbacks of the Standard Model (SM) is that the masslessness of neutrinos is not dictated by an underlying grand principle, such as that of gauge invariance in the case of the photon: the SM simply postulates that neutrinos are massless and, as a result, all their properties are trivial, e.g. magnetic and transitionmoments are zero, etc. Massless neutrinos would be exception...

Preparing an index to a book or assigning indexing terms to documents involves the task of subject analy sis. Subject analysis can be defined as "the intellectual or automated process by which the subjects of a docu ment are analyzed for subsequent expression in the form of subject data'.1 Is automatic indexing a chal lenge, or even a threat to indexers? What do we mean when we talk about "subj...
