Paragonimus species are highly evolved parasites with a complex life cycle that involves at least three different hosts, i.e., snails, crustaceans, and mammals. The adult forms of Paragonimus species reside and mate in the lungs of a variety of permissive mammalian hosts, including humans. Although human paragonimiasis is uncommonly encountered in North America, both autochthonous and imported ...

A recent analysis of the He abundance determined from observations of extragalactic HII regions indicates a significantly greater uncertainty for the He mass fraction. The derived value is now in line with predictions from big bang nucleosynthesis when the baryon density determined by WMAP is assumed. Based on this new analysis of He, we derive constraints on a host of particle properties which...

Founding harmonic analysis on classical simple complex groups, I.M. Gelfand and M.A. Naimark in their classical book [GN] posed three basic questions: unitary duals, characters of irreducible unitary representations and Plancherel measures. In the case of reductive p-adic groups, the only series of reductive groups where unitary duals are known are general linear groups. In this paper we reduce...

Thai stock brokers issue daily stock news for their customers. One broker labels these news with plus, minus and zero sign to indicate the type of recommendation. This paper proposed to classify Thai stock news by extracting important texts from the news. The extracted text is in a form of a ‘wordpair’. Three wordpair sets, manual wordpairs extraction (ME), manual wordpairs addition (MA), and a...
