This report updates the mosquito species composition for Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes, Washington, Jackson, Calhoun, Liberty, Gadsden, Leon, Wakulla, Jefferson, Madison, and Taylor Counties, through collections made in a centralized surveillance program operated from 2002-2020 northwest Florida. 91 county records were documented. The most notable discoveries included finding Mansonia ti...

In this paper, we establish and analyze a traffic flow model which describes the formation and dynamics of traffic jams. It consists of a Pressureless Gas Dynamics system under a maximal constraint on the density and is derived through a singular limit of the Aw-Rascle model. From this analysis, we deduce the particular dynamical behaviour of clusters (or traffic jams), defined as intervals whe...

This paper demonstrates how a probabilistic criterion based on the full capacity outage probability distribution (e.g., LOLP) could be integrated into the unit commitment (UC) optimization using simple statistical approximation. While this provides a direct and computationally cheaper means as compared to a recently published approach to locating the globally optimal SR allocation (and associat...

We read with great interest a recent study by Ghai et al (1) wherein they followed 56 out of 69 randomized patients for 12 months following parasagittal interlaminar (PIL) injection with local anesthetics (LA) alone or LA with steroid (LS). We agree with author’s choice of technique to achieve adequate and consistent ventral epidural spread of injectate. Parasagittal interlaminar epidural stero...

In the affine plane AG(2, q) the point (x, y) is incident with the line Y = mX + α if and only if α = −mx + y. Hence α is a root of R(T,m) of multiplicity k if and only if the line Y = mX + α is incident with k points of the set A. This observation allows one to look at a problem of the following type: Given a subset of points of the affine plane that has restricted intersection properties with...

Being a derivative of the famous IEEE 802.11 family of standards [1], which was originally targeted at indoor wireless communication, the IEEE 802.11p amendment for vehicular communication [2] still bears certain assumptions about the wireless channel which do not apply for vehicular scenarios. As IEEE standardization is finished, international harmonization of local standards is already on the...

Numerous recent reports have outlined the clinical profile of childhood peptic ulcer (Alexander, 1951; Fallstrom and Reinand, 1961; Gadiyar, Taneja, and Ghai, 1963; Girdany, 1953; Michener, Kennedy, and Du Shane, 1960; Muggia and Spiro, 1959; Ramirez Ramos, Kirsner, and Palmer, 1960). Investigation of its pathogenesis, however, has not received much attention. There is general agreement that pe...
