Countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis was used to assay bloodmeals to determine the hostspecificity of Anopheles culicifarics species-A and B, collected from areas in Delhi, Uttar piadesh and Bihar. Results indicated the-predominantly zoophagic nature of species A and B with " r.t"tiullv higher degree of anthropophagy for species A. Furth-er, the human blood index was found to be relatei to the ...

Two of the authors earlier suggested a method of calculating special grid steps for three point finite-difference schemes which yielded exponential superconvergence of the Neumann-to-Dirichlet map. We apply this approach to solve the two-dimensional timedomain wave problem and the 2.5-D elasticity system in cylindrical coordinates. Our numerical experiments exhibit exponential convergence at pr...

Concerning thin structures, such as plates and shells, the idea of reducing the equations of elasticity to two-dimensional models defined on the midsurface seems relevant. Such a reduction was first performed thanks to kinematicalhypotheses about the transformation of normal lines to the midsurface. As nowadays, the asymptotic expansion of thedisplacement solution of the three-dimen...
