Geographic Correlation between Tapeworm Carriers and Heavily Infected Cysticercotic Pigs

BACKGROUND Neurocysticercosis is a leading cause of preventable epilepsy in the developing world. Sustainable community-based interventions are urgently needed to control transmission of the causative parasite, Taenia solium. We examined the geospatial relationship between live pigs with visible cysticercotic cysts on their tongues and humans with adult intestinal tapeworm infection (taeniasis)...

Dynamic Weighing

In fabricating flowmeters, the meter's calibration is its final and accuracy determining step that comprises a great time consumption relative to its completion from its single component parts. Thus calibration (unless the respective time of calibration for a flow meter is not minimized) may represent a relevant contribution to fabrication costs. High-accuracy liquid flow calibration facilities...

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Infants Weighing

Over a 4 year period, nine of 180 (5%) infants weighing less than 2000 G,admitted to the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). An outbreak of NEC occurred in 1989, during which six infants developed the clinical illness. Overall incidence was 1.1%. Thirty-one birth weight and gestation matched controls were selected for comparison. Risk factors usually c...

On circulant weighing matrices

Algebraic techniques are employed to obtain necessary conditions for the existence of certain circulant weighing matrices. As an application we rule out the existence of many circulant weighing matrices. We study orders n = 8 +8+1, for 10 ~ 8 ~ 25. These orders correspond to the number of points in a projective plane of order 8.
