BACKGROUND Rabies is a preventable zoonosis with the highest case fatality of any disease in the world. In the developing world, it is transmitted mainly by dog bites. In parts of southern Nigeria, dog meat is a delicacy. OBJECTIVE To highlight trade in stray dogs as a major risk factor for rabies in animals and humans in south-south Nigeria. METHOD Patients admitted into the University of ...

The disturbing effect of the stray magnetic fields of Fe-based amorphous ribbons on the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) sensor has been investigated systematically in this paper. Two simple methods were used for examining the disturbing effect of the stray magnetic fields of ribbons on the GMI sensor. In order to study the influence of the stray magnetic fields on the GMI effect, the square-shaped...

F orward light scatter measurement provides information about optical imperfections as the cause of glare disability. Glare disability refers to a reduction in visual performance caused by a glare source, resulting in retinal contrast loss secondary to intraocular stray light. Lens extraction reverses the strong age increase in stray light, which is considered an independent source of symptoms....

Acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) spectrometers are being criticized for spectral leakage, distant side lobes of their spectral response function (SRF), or the stray light. SPICAM-IR is the AOTF spectrometer in the range of 1000-1700 nm with a resolving power of 1800-2200 operating on the Mars Express interplanetary probe. It is primarily dedicated to measurements of water vapor in the Martia...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the impact of the method of Gunshot Injury (GSI) (i.e. war injuries, stray bullets, and civilian fighting) on patient morbidity and mortality. STUDY DESIGN An observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Biostatistics Department of Al-Jalaa Hospital in Benghazi, Libya, from January to December 2011. METHODOLOGY Patients' records were analyzed with the method of gu...

This paper discusses grounding practices used on electric distribution systems above 600 Volts. In particular, the paper concentrates on the three-phase fourwire, multi-grounded neutral system that is extensively used in North America. The paper addresses the benefits of the multi-grounded power system and makes comparisons with other grounding system designs including ungrounded; three-wire si...

stray dogs are considered as an important health problem in societies because they can carry dangerous diseases such as hydatidosis, toxocariasis and coenurus cerebralis to humans and animals. therefore, the study of helminthes infections in all parts of iran for evaluation of infection state, and provision of the infection control programs is essential. the aim of this study, was to determine ...

canids are reservoir for some zoonoses helminthic disease. they are one of main public health problem. theaim of this study was to ascertain frequency of gastrointestinal helminthic infection of stray dogs in zabol city,southeaster of iran. in this descriptive study, 30 stray dogs were euthanized, intestine was removed by necropsy.then, the intestines was opened by scalpel and their contents pa...

In this paper modeling of capacitance and sensitivity for MEMS capacitive pressure sensor is presented. In capacitive sensor the sensitivity is proportional to deflection and capacitance changes versus pressure. Therefore first the diaphragm displacement, capacitance and sensitivity of sensor with square diaphragm have been modeled and then simulated using finite element method (FEM).  It can b...

Due to the advantages of a self-excited induction generator (SEIG), it plays main role in sources renewable energy, such as wind turbines (WT). The regulation terminal voltage and frequency is poor under variable rotor speed load conditions at stand-alone operation mode. depends on excitation capacitance which can be controlled by capacitor bank static compensator. dynamical model machine descr...
