Background and Aims: Globally, intestinal parasitic infections are a significant risk to human health. These infections may cause many health problems for humans, such as reduced growth, especially in children. This study, epidemiologically, aims to investigate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections which are collected from three medical centers in the city of Masjed Soleyman located...

tactics, including the use of attack dogs. While pre-Columbian America was by no means a disease-free Shangri-La, the airborne and highly infectious European and African imports caused havoc among populations living in splendid immunological isolation. In contrast to some earlier works, Noble's book succeeds because of its scope and balance, and the author's effort to present the onslaught of d...

I will review RHIC data with respect to the intriguing possibility that the hadron production mechanism in the produced partonic medium might be different than in vacuum. I will use the measurements of collective features, such as flow and quenching of identified particles, to show that different regions of the particle momentum spectrum are likely populated through different mechanisms, and th...

Consider the following game between a worm and an alert over a network of n nodes. Initially, no nodes are infected or alerted and each node in the network is a special detector node independently with small but constant probability. The game starts with a single node becoming infected. In every round thereafter, every infected node sends out a constant number of worms to other nodes in the pop...

The Standard Model (SM) is in complete agreement with present experimental data. Nevertheless, it is believed to leave many questions unanswered, and this belief has resulted in numerous attempts to nd a more fundamental underlying theory. One key ingredient in the extrapolation of the SM to higher energies is to identify the complete particle spectrum at the electroweak scale. Two popular exam...

Résumé. Ce papier présente une tentative d’extension de l’Algorithme de Chiffrement Evolutionnaire basé Occurrences (ACEO) permettant le chiffrement de messages regroupant la majorité des caractères du code ASCII. Pour pouvoir traiter des messages écrits suivant d’autres langues que celles adoptées par l’ACEO, telle que la langue chinoise, l’hébreu, ..., nous avons pensé à augmenter l’espace de...
