The ultrasound technology has been used for various functions particularly as a tool in beef and dairy research for many years. It has become more available to the commercial livestock agriculture recently. Application of transrectal real-time ultrasonography in the study of bo‐ vine reproduction represents a technological breakthrough that has revolutionized the knowledge of reproductive biolo...

Abdel Omran’s 1971 theory of epidemiological transition is an attempt to account for the extraordinary advances in health care made in industrialized countries since the 18 century. According to Omran, all societies experience three "ages" in the process of modernization: the "age of pestilence and famine", during which mortality is high and fluctuating, with an average life expectancy under 30...

The epidemiologic transition theory presented first by Omran [Omram. A. R. (1971) The epidemiologic transition: a theory of the epidemiology of population change, Mildbank Quarterly 49(4), 509-538] was designed to explain global trends in the dynamic relationship between epidemiological phenomena and demographic change. This paper argues that universalizing this theory only partially serves to ...

After studying the epidemiologic transition’s situation in Canada, it is determined that the delimitation of temporal stages within the epidemiologic transition as put forward by Omran (1971, 1998), Olshansky and Ault (1986), Rogers and Hackenberg (1987) and Olshansky et al. (1998) does not suit the Canadian evolution. Many of the researchers’ postulates on the epidemiologic transition were not...

We study the Minimum Shared Edges problem introduced by Omran et al. [Journal of Combinatorial Optimization, 2015] on planar graphs: Planar MSE asks, given a planar graph G = (V,E), two distinct vertices s, t ∈ V , and two integers p, k ∈ N, whether there are p s-t paths in G that share at most k edges, where an edges is called shared if it appears in at least two of the p s-t paths. We show th...

Worldwide, coronary artery disease (CAD) is becoming pandemic (Omran, 1979). Mortality from CAD is predicted to reach 23.4 million in 2030. Now days, chronic CAD s estimated to affect 16.8 million people in the United States; and 2.65 million people in the UK. CAD was the single most frequent cause of death in USA and Western Europe (about 1 in every 5 deaths).The estimated direct and indirect ...
