Given the economic impact of gastrointestinal nematode infection on livestock farming worldwide, and increasing anthelmintic resistance, it is imperative to develop practical, efficient and sustainable control strategies.Targeted selective treatment (TST), whereby anthelmintic treatments are administered to animals individually, based on selection

Two geometrical models are developed to simulate fluid transport via peristaltic motion in tubes of uniform or linearly decreasing radius: A 2-D axisymmetric tubular model and a 2-D axisymmetric conical model.In both models, peristaltic motion is induced by a traveling wave along the wall of the computational domain which deforms the wall and the c

With the increasing frequency of maritime activities, the development of the maritime communication technology plays an important role.However, due to the complex and changeable maritime environment and the inconsistent communication system standards, the development of maritime communications has significantly lagged.Firstly, maritime communicatio

The primary purpose of this two-phased study was to examine the structural validity and statistical utility of a racism scale specific to Black men who have sex with men (MSM) who resided in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area and Baltimore, Maryland.Phase I involved pretesting a 10-item racism measure with 20 Black MSM.Based on pretest findings,

Framed by contested interpretations of the Buenos Aires Plan of Action, this article aims to conduct a first evaluation of the BRICS development and education cooperation agenda as a case study of South-South cooperation (SSC).Methodologically, as a theory-based case study that integrates exploration with illustration and explanation, an analytical
