Given a coloring of the vertices, we say subgraph H is monochromatic if every vertex of H is assigned the same color, and rainbow if no pair of vertices of H are assigned the same color. Given a graph G and a graph F , we define an F -WORM coloring of G as a coloring of the vertices of G without a rainbow or monochromatic subgraph H isomorphic to F . We present some results on this concept espe...

The complexity of the rearing environment is important for behavioral development and fearfulness. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that laying hens reared in a complex aviary system with exposure to mild intermittent stressors would be less fearful, less sensitive to stress, and would use elevated areas of the pen more often as adults than hens reared in a barren cage environme...

Both human schizophrenia and the effects of isolation rearing in rats produce deficits in hippocampal and cortical functioning. This study was concerned with identifying changes associated with altered neuronal function in the rat hippocampus following isolation rearing. Rats were isolated from weaning at 21 days postnatal for 6 weeks and the hippocampal sensitivity to isolation rearing and str...

A new detection approach based on worm behaviors for IDS anti-worm is presented. By the method, the susceptible hosts probed by worms can be detected, and then an immediate counter-attack to the susceptible host can be proposed. As a case study, a simulation on the IDS-based anti-worm counter-attacking the malicious worm is given, which shows the new containment is much more effective and bring...

Some people have argued that software is artistic. If so, what about malware? Only occasional, small-scale attempts have been made to create art using malware. We present “art worms,” worms which allow an artist to use the entire Internet as a canvas. These worms could be interactive, allowing an artist to stage a global performance, or non-interactive and automatic. Examples are given of artwo...

a rare case of ascaris coming out through the anterior abdominal wall is reported here. a 40‑year‑old female had undergone dilatation and curettage by a quack. on the second day she presented with presented with features of peritonitis. she was explored. resection anastomosis of the ileum was done for multiple perforations of the ileum. patient developed a fistula in the anterior abdominal wall...
