Background: Cholera is an infectious, acute, diarrheal disease caused by bacterium Vibrio cholerae.About 3-5 million cases and over 100,000 deaths occur each year around the world.Vibrio cholera found in water or food sources that have been contaminated by feces from a person infected with cholera.Cholera is most likely to be found and spread in pl
Analytical Solution of Heat Conduction for Hollow Cylinders with Time-Dependent Boundary Condition and Time-Dependent Heat Transfer Coefficient
An analytical solution for the heat transfer in hollow cylinders with time-dependent boundary condition and time-dependent heat transfer coefficient at different surfaces is developed for the first time.The methodology is an extension of the shifting function method.By dividing the Biot function into a constant plus a function and introducing two s
Bit error rate analysis model of M-APSK based on total probability formula
To efficiently evaluate the performance of M-APSK modulation scheme over an additive white Gaussian noise channel, a theoretical bit error rate analysis model was proposed based on total probability formula.Firstly, the constellation plane was divided into regions according to the distribution of constellation points and their encoding characterist
Schistosomes and snails: a molecular encounter
Biomphalaria glabrata snails play an integral role in the transmission of Schistosoma mansoni, the causative agent for human schistosomiasis in the Western hemisphere.For the past two decades, tremendous advances have been made in research aimed at elucidating the molecular basis of the snail/parasite interaction.The growing concern that there is n
