A Mathematical Model for the Dynamics of Onchocerciasis With Vector Control and Mass Drug Administration by Martin Karuhanga, Victor Yiga

“…Our results reveal that for the disease to persist in the community, the infection rate must exceed the sum of the treatment rate and the per capita death rate due to the disease. Sensitivity analysis highlights the critical role of the blackfly vector’s average daily biting rate in disease transmission. …”

Relay-based resource allocation in cognitive networks by Shi-bing ZHANG, Hao-ye ZHANG, Xue LI, Zhi-hua BAO

“…Based on the optimal pairing the subcarriers of uplink and downlink,a spectrum resource allocation algorithm was proposed according to the subcarrier characteristics of the uplink and downlink in cognitive relay networks.The algorithm allocated the subcarriers in downlink according to the difference of subchannel gains.It assigned the subcarriere in uplink to minimize the power of every source nodes and relay nodes,and distributed the bits and powers of all subcarriers to satisfy the immediate request.It could decrease the power transmitted and increase the throughput of the system.The simulation results show that the algorithm proposed reduces the per bit power by 1.5～3 dBμW and improve the performance by one order of magnitude in bit error rate compared with the heuristic centralized scheme and distributed feedback-assisted-transmit power allocation algorithm.…”

Una geografía de la gentrificación en el centro histórico de Palma (Mallorca, España). Turismo y elitización social by Jesús M. González Pérez

“…The aim of this paper is to study the process of gentrification in Palma’s old quarter, using four main indicators: demographic (the foreign population), tourist-related (hotels and holiday homes) and economic (income per household and the real estate market). The analysis is conducted on an intra-urban scale (census blocks) in order to detect urban inequalities and spatial patterns in the location and/or distribution of these variables. …”

Doppler Positioning Performance of LEO Mega Constellation by Yulu ZHANG, Zhen LI, Chuang SHI, Guifei JING

“…This paper proposed a Doppler-only point-solution algorithm and analyzed the Doppler positioning performance based on the Starlink constellation.The Doppler positioning accuracy was about 3～6 m.To achieve the meter-level positioning accuracy, the satellite position and velocity errors should be within several meters and several centimeters per second, respectively.The ionospheric delay rates of C-band signal would cause about 2 m error in Doppler positioning.The positioning error would increase by dozens of meters if there were no corrections for the tropospheric errors.To ensure convergence in the LEO-based Doppler positioning, the initial receiver position error should be less than 300 km when the satellites orbit at an altitude of 550 km.…”

Understanding Pregnancy Diagnosis in Beef Cattle by G. Cliff Lamb, Darren D. Henry, Vitor R. G. Mercadante, Doug E. Mayo

“… Because 55 to 70 percent of the input costs associated with a beef cattle operation are related to nutrition, culling open (non-pregnant) cows after the breeding season can save as much as $200 per head that can be diverted to the purchase or development of replacement females, sire selection, increased nutritional management, and other management-related costs. …”

“…McGrew hacen en Globalizacion/ Antigiobalizacion (Paidós, Barcelona, 2002), el libro de Arturo Guillen, presenta una agradable "impostura", cuestiona la idea de que la globalización se ha consumado o está en proceso, pero sostiene que la economia mundial y la creciente intemacionalización comercial siempre ha sido un fenómeno inherente al capitalismo, por lo cual no debe confundirse con la globalización per se. El libro va deconstruyendo los variados elementos que se han ofrecido por los "globalistas" para sostener dicha tesis. …”
