in this paper, we introduce fractional order of a planar fractional prey-predator system with a nonmonotonic functional response and anti-predator behaviour such that the adult preys can attack vulnerable predators. we analyze the existence and stability of all possibleequilibria. numerical simulations reveal that anti-predator behaviour notonly makes the coexistence of the prey and predator po...

behaviour studies indicated that the permethrin resistant strin of an. stephensi was 3-fold resistant to knock-down compared with the susceptible strain. the resistant strain was however 3-fold less irritable to permethrin and less responsive than the susceptible strain to the movement of an aspirator. if reduced irritability and reduced responsiveness to catch are consequences of the changes i...

a cross-sectional study with children's and parents' self-completed questionnaires was carried out to evaluate parents' ideas on children's risk-takjng behaviours and children's risky activities after school hours by age (7 and 9 years) and sex. nine elementary schools were randomly selected and 476 puphs aged seven and nine years and 471 parents were studied. most pare...

Background: The ‘Organizational Justice’ concept is used in order to determine whether the administrator is fair to his personnel or not. It is said that those who get bullied are usually terrorized, annoyed, excluded, belittled, deprived of resources, isolated and prevented from claiming rights. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine nurses...

In this paper, we introduce fractional order of a planar fractional prey-predator system with a nonmonotonic functional response and anti-predator behaviour such that the adult preys can attack vulnerable predators. We analyze the existence and stability of all possible equilibria. Numerical simulations reveal that anti-predator behaviour not only makes the coexistence of the prey and predator ...

the calling behavior of virgin carob moth females, ectomyelois ceratoniae (zeller) (lep.: pyralidae) was evaluated under two different thermal regimes, cycling and constant temperatures under laboratory condition. the period of calling activity under cycling temperature was prolonged and the total period of calling activity of an individual female was increased. although moths maintained under ...

twenty-four 35-day-old lambs were distributed to a completely randomized design with 3 treatments to study the effects of number of feeding buckets per pen on performance, haematology and behaviour indicators. treatments consisted of 8 (t1), 4 (t2) or 2 (t3) feeding buckets/pen (8 lambs/pen). during the experiment, concentrate was fed at 08:30 in individual feeders. daily dry matter intake (dmi...

objectives: the aim of present study was to evaluate some effects of crinum zeylanicum (c. zeylanicum) on central nervous system. materials and methods: c. zeylanicum methanolic bulb extract (250-1000 mg/kg orally), 2 mg chlorpromazine and 4 mg diazepam /kg body weight intraperitoneally respectively were tested in mice using irwin test, pentobarbitone-induced sleep test, spontaneous motor activ...
