A total of four hundred swine (Sus scrofa domesticus) samples were examined from January 2013 to December 2015. Out of 400 samples examined, 46 (11.5%) swine were infected with Taenia solium and Ascaris suum. The highest infection of cysticercus larvae of T.solium in swine were 8.43% (7/83) in Nepalganj, likewise 2.2% (2/95) in Dharan, 1.53% (1/65) in Kathmandu, 1.50% (1/66) in Butwal and infec...

This paper presents a mathematical model for short-term (24 hour) electrical energy consumption in Ireland. The model is based on fuzzy logic and the parameters determined by drawing on the extensive intuitive knowledge of operators in the National Control Centre (NCC) in E.S.B., using a series of questionnaires to determine the shape and location of the fuzzy sets, and the fuzzy rules used to ...

In the past decade, the notion of a neural correlate of consciousness (or NCC) has become a focal point for scientific research on consciousness (Metzinger, 2000a). A growing number of investigators believe that the first step toward a science of consciousness is to discover the neural correlates of consciousness. Indeed, Francis Crick has gone so far as to proclaim that ‘we ... need to discove...

The seminar will present a design of digital material for mathematics concept learning. The material was developed using multimedia learning principles to maximize the use of learner cognitive capacity. We will share how learner expertise and multimedia design affect the development of different mathematical order thinking skills, and suggest useful practical implications for instructional desi...

The Framework Recently Crick and Koch offered a " Framework for Consciousness " (2003). Pradeep Mutalik's review of that article in SCR (Mutalik 2003) asserts that " Crick and Koch describe ten aspects of a framework that they believe offers a coherent scheme for explaining the neural correlates of consciousness. " Crick and Koch explain that a framework must not be confused with a set of hypot...

In the United States, water conservation-oriented rates (WCOR) are an increasingly vital tool for promoting water conservation and mitigating urban drought. Our models prove that one type of WCOR, drought demand rates (DDR), can produce with minimal regulation the quadruple objectives of conservation rates: (1) improving efficiency; (2) providing revenue neutrality; (3) assuring distributional ...

The explosion of information communication technology (ICT) since the beginning of the 20 th century has been rendering manual-based library system in academic, research, special and public libraries less relevant. This is because using and implementing information communication technology in the library depend largely on the librarian attitude toward the current digital age. This study examine...

In this manual, we describe the software package ISE (acronym for Integrated Search Environment), a tool that implements hierarchical searches with meta-control. ISE actually is a collection of problem-independent routines to support search processes. Mainly, these routines are core routines for solving a search problem and they handle the control of searches and maintain the statistics related...

We present arcsecond-scale mid-ir photometry (in the 10.5 μm N band and at 24.8 μm), and low resolution spectra in the N band (R ≃ 100) of a candidate high mass protostellar object (HMPO) in IRAS 18151-1208 and of two HMPO candidates in IRAS 20343+4129, IRS 1 and IRS 3. In addition we present high Department of Physics and Astronomy, Colby College, Waterville, ME 04901; [email protected] Cente...
