Free-living stages of ticks on a commercial game farm in the Thabazimbi District, Limpopo Province, South Africa, were collected by drag-sampling with flannel strips during the period September 2003 to August 2004. A total of 5 tick species was collected from 4 sites. Boophilus decoloratus was the most abundant species, followed by Amblyomma hebraeum. Seasonal abundance of the ticks was quantif...

The Czech University of Life Sciences Farm at Lany began farming common eland with the aim of achieving full economic self-sufficiency through animal production for breeding and meat. Alternative goals were to verify production technology for farming common eland in captivity and the utilization of this species as an alternative for meat production in mild climatic zones. The model farm was pri...

Physical examination will enable the clinician to link the information obtained from history and physical findings to make the precise diagnosis, patient education, to design an effective treatment plan and optimum rehabilitation prescription.

background: increase in aquatic production is dependent on raw materials, quality of diet, feed manufacture technology and optimum feed formulation. objectives: the aim of this study was investigation and quality control feed of fft, gft1 and gft2 of rainbow trout in farm and fish feed factory producers in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province. methods: in this study samples of fft, gft1 and gft2 ...

Several techniques for automated process planning have been proposed in the past. The widely scattered information has been collected and presented in this paper with a view to have compressive appraisal of automated modular process planning. Though the process plan is an integration of the four modules, the information available is in isolation. It is therefore propose to identify suitable tec...

Control of critical dimension (CD) variation is of extreme importance in modern semiconductor manufacturing processes. To be controlled, the nature of CD variation must be understood. This paper outlines a method for characterizing systematic spatial variation by means of dense electrical linewidth measurements, including actual sample data. In addition, since exhaustive sampling is prohibitive...

Even with the most careful advance preparation, and even with inbuilt allowance for some degree of contingency, plans need to be altered to take into account execution circumstances and changes of requirements. We have developed methods for repairing plans to account for execution failures and changes in the execution situation. We first developed these methods for the Optimum-AIV planner desi...
