Human schistosomiasis is widespread in tropical and subtropical environments. In this study, a novel open cell with liquid medium perfusion system for electrorotation measurement to detect the viability of schistosomal eggs is proposed. With no solid top or bottom surface, the liquid medium perfusion system solves some of the problems of conventional electrorotation testing systems. This kind o...

IJVs allow firms to better deal with pressures related to efficiency and flexibility (Powell, 1987). Formation and performance of these IJVs is an important domain in the international business literature. Scholars have used numerous different theoretical lenses. Meanwhile, empirical studies have identified factors that influence the formation and performance of IJVs. However, some of the empir...

Recently F. Huang [Commun. Theor. Phys. 42 (2004) 903] and X. Tang and P.K. Shukla [Commun. Theor. Phys. 49 (2008) 229] investigated symmetry properties of the barotropic potential vorticity equation without forcing and dissipation on the beta-plane. This equation is governed by two dimensionless parameters, F and β, representing the ratio of the characteristic length scale to the Rossby radius...

Close inbreeding has often been shown to be extremely harmful because of the fixation of deleterious recessive alleles in inbred offspring (Charlesworth & Charlesworth 1987). As a consequence, inbred offspring often show reduced fitness compared with outbred offspring (inbreeding depression, Charlesworth & Charlesworth 1987). The ability to identify relatives (kin recognition, Hepper 1991) offe...
