A 65–yrs-old man referred for an ocular discomfort and red eye. The clinical diagnosis was leech in the left eye and its species confirmed as being Limnatis nilotica. Ocular leech infestation should be considered in patients with a history of swimming or washing their face in streams and lakes. Attention should also be given to ocular leech infestation in the differential diagnosis of ocular tr...

Floating Photovoltaic (FPV) plants are already well developed, and deployed all over the world, on calm water inland lakes, or in sheltered locations. They now progressing to be installed nearshore sites, deep seas. The company HelioRec, developing floating modules form FPV arrays areas, was awarded free-of-charge testing of their system by Marine Energy Alliance (MEA) European program. This pa...

The morphological diversity of Malawi and Tanganyika cichlids has often been qualitatively described, but rarely have hypotheses based on these descriptions been tested empirically. Using landmark based geometric morphometrics, shapes are analyzed independent of other aspects of the body form (e.g., size). The estimation of shape disparity, the quantitative measure of the variance of these raw ...

In this note we apply results of Goodman, Yano and Wada to determine which nonsingular Morse-Smale flows on S have transverse foliations. We then observe that there is a connection to flows arising from certain Hamiltonian systems and from certain contact structures. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary: 37D15; Secondary: 37C70, 57R30, 37J35, 37J55.

The Synthetic Environment for Analysis and Simulations (SEAS) developed at the Krannert Graduate School of Management at Purdue University mimics real life economies, with multiple interlinked markets, multiple goods and services, multiple firms and channels and multiple consumers etc. all built from the ground up. It is populated with human agents who make strategically complex decisions and a...

Organic matter. Coarse woody debris (CWD) is thought to be important as cover for fish in the littoral zone of lakes. Development along the shoreline of lakes was negatively correlated with the density of CWD in lakes (Christensen et al. 1996). France et al. (1996) found that losses of leaf litter due to riparian clear cutting along lakes could result in substantial losses of dissolved organic ...

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are common optimization techniques based on the concept of Darwinian evolution. During the search for the global optimum of a search space, a traditional EA will often become trapped in a local optimum. The Scouting-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithms (SEAs) are a recently–introduced family of EAs that use a cross–generational memory mechanism to overcome this problem...
