The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of helminth eggs excreted in the faeces of stray cats, dogs and in soil samples. A total of 505 fresh samples of faeces (from 227 dogs and 152 cats) and soil were collected. The egg stage was detected via microscopy after the application of formalin-ether concentration technique. Genomic DNA was extracted from the samples containing ho...

We consid Linear Collider Collaboration Tech Notes Abstract This note documents a set of expressions used to explore the issue of whether or not it is reasonable to consider a conventional positron source for a Tesla formatted beam. The critical issue is that of energy deposition in the conversion target and the comparison of the induced stress with the ultimate tensile strength of the target m...

background: hydatidosis is a zoonotic disease of global prevalence. it causes considerable health problems and economic losses throughout the world, including iran. the objective of this study was to assess the current status of echinococco-sis/hydatidosis in the province of ilam (western iran). methods: from april to september 2011, 65 stray dogs were collected from urban and rural areas of il...

-This paper details the electromagnetic behavior and the effects of magnetic and electromagnetic shields used in large power transformers based on engineering-oriented benchmark models, and presents some newly calculated and measured results both the magnetic field and stray-field loss related to the models, and examine the engineering applicability of 3-D eddy current analysis methods and the ...

MICE, which is an acronym for Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment, is a technology demonstration which is presently assembled at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Didcot, UK. MICE aims to demonstrate ionization cooling experimentally, which is an essential technology for potential future accelerators such as a muon collider. The MICE channel consists of up to 18 large bore superconducting so...

Polypropylene metallized capacitors are of general use in power electronics because of their reliability, their self healing capabilities, and their low price. Though the behavior of metallized coiled capacitors has been discussed, no work was done about stacked and flattened metallized capacitors. The purpose of this article is to propose a simple analytical low frequency model of stacked capa...
