Mapping of Historic US Hookworm prevalence data from the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission (early 1900s) using current GIS (Geographic Information System) software (county shape files) illustrates the extremely high prevalence of hookworm disease (Uncariasis) in the Southeastern US at the time. Some counties in 7 states recorded 50% to 100% of the population with positive screens for hookworm in ...

The features of martensite transformation in Fe (31 32)% Ni melt-quenched alloys are considered. The meltquenching was realized by spinning technique with variable parameters. The influence of the melt-quenching on structural and kinetics transformation parameters is revealed. In particular Ms point is shown to decrease but volume percentage of athermal martensite is found to be invariable with...

The measurement of the polarized gluon distribution function g(x) from photon gluon fusion processes in electron proton deep inelastic scattering producing two jets has been investigated. The study is based on the MEPJET simulation program. The size of the expected spin asymmetry and corresponding statistical uncertainties for a possible measurement with polarized beams of electrons and protons...

The beta delayed deuteron emission from 6He is studied in a dynamical microscopic cluster model. This model gives a reasonably good description for all the subsystems of 6He and 6Li in a coherent way, without any free parameter. The beta decay transition probability to the 6Li ground state is underestimated by a few percents. The theoretical beta delayed deuteron spectrum is close to experiment...
