Historically, waves of cholera have wiped many million lives in this region mainly due to the general insanitary conditions and poor management of the disease. All the three cholera causing vibrios namely classical, El Tor, and the O139 have eme...

We report on detailed laboratory experiments designed to illustrate the frictional behavior of granular volcanic debris. The materials include pyroclastic flow debris from Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat, and from Stromboli Volcano, Italy, and lahar deposits from Mount St. Helens. Experiments were conducted in a servo-controlled, double-direct shear apparatus under conditions of displacemen...

Areas of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) outbreaks in the Black Hills can provide habitat for black-backedwoodpeckers (Picoides arcticus), a U.S. Forest Service, Region 2 Sensitive Species. These outbreaks are managed through removal of trees infested with mountain pine beetles to control mountain pine beetle populations and salvage timber resources. To minimize impacts t...

A new nonlinear analytical model for canopy flow over gentle hills is presented. This model is established based on the assumption that three major forces (pressure gradient, Reynolds stress gradient, and nonlinear canopy drag) within canopy are in balance for gentle hills under neutral conditions. The momentum governing equation is closed by the velocity-squared law. This new model has many ad...

This paper deals with the ethnobotanical observations on the tribals of javvadha Hills of Tamil Nadu. The medicinal uses of about 50 species are recorded.

Verifiable criteria are established for the existence of positive periodic solutions and permanence of a delayed discrete periodic predator-prey model with Holling-type II functional response N1(k + 1) = N1(k)exp{b1(k)− a1(k)N1(k− [τ1])− α1(k)N2(k)/(N1(k) + m(k)N2(k))} and N2(k + 1) = N2(k)exp{−b2(k) + α2(k)N1(k − [τ2])/(N1(k − [τ2]) + m(k)N2(k− [τ2]))}. Our results show that the delays in the ...
