Outbreak of Wilderness/Backcountry/Travelers’ Diarrhea at a Himalayan Base Camp at 4000 m/13,125 ft

Introduction: Wilderness or backcountry diarrhea is a type of travelers’ diarrhea commonly caused by Cryptosporidium and Giardia, which can survive freezing temperatures. Campsites pose additional risks worldwide, irrespective of developing or developed regions, due to inadequate hygiene. Methods: In a first of its kind, an outbreak of wilderness diarrhea...

M m m Queue with Balking, Reneging and Additional Servers

In this paper, we consider a multi-server queuing system in which additional servers are allowed for a longer queue to reduce the customer’s balking and reneging behavior. The customers are assumed to arrive in Poisson fashion and their service- times follow exponential distribution. The number of servers in long run depends on the queue-length. We obtain equilibrium queue size distribution. Th...

A Generalization of M-Small Modules

In this paper we introduce a generalization of M-small modules and discuss about the torsion theory cogenerated by this kind of modules in category . We will use the structure of the radical of a module in  and get some suitable results about this class of modules. Also the relation between injective hull in  and this kind of modules will be investigated in this article.   For a module  we show...

Assessment of potential climate change impacts on drought indicators (Case study: Yazd station, Central Iran)

This research studies the potential impact of climate change on future trend and changes of two well known drought indicators namely RDI and SPI in Yazd meteorological station, in central part of Iran. For this purpose, data of HadCM3 model that were resulted from GCM-runs based on the IPCC-SRES scenarios of A2 and B2 were acquired and analyzed for projection of daily Tmin, Tmax and precipitati...
