Gastrointestinal helminths of slaughtered cattle in Bauchi Central Abattoir, Bauchi State, Nigeria

Cattle are major source of animal protein, flexible income for family units, employment, farm energy and manure but the problem is infection due to gastrointestinal helminths. The disease causes a gradual deterioration of animal performance and has been known to be major economic losses in Nigeria. Sedimentation and floatation parasitological techniques were used and examined microscopically to determine the parasites and the number of egg per gram of faeces. Of the 300 faecal sample examined, 223(74.3%) were infected with one or more of the following species and their prevalence were three trematodes (Fasciola 15.7%, Schistosome 6.0%, Dicrocilium 1.6%), three cestodes (Monezia 6.3%, Taenia 8.0%, Hymenolepis 2.0%) and seven species of nematodes (Ascaris 3.3%, Trichuris 1.0%, Nematodirus 6.3%, Haemonchus 9.3%, Strongyloides 5.7%, Toxocara 3.3%, Ostertagia 5.0%). Modified Stoll’s dilution egg counting technique of 223 animals indicated, 74 animals (33.1%) and 49 animals (21.9) were found with low and high infection level respectively, whilst greater proportion, 100 animals (44.8) were found with moderate number of egg per gram of faeces (egg) suggesting that the infection was moderately high. The breeds had a prevalence of 74.8%, 72.3%, and 70.0% obtained for Bunaji, Rohaji, and Sokoto Gudali cattle respectively. Higher prevalence of gastro intestinal parasites was observed in young cattle < 2 years (77.1%) and 3-5 years (74.2%) than >5 years of age (70.58%). This study reveals that both the male and female animals have equal likelihood of being infected with gastrointestinal helminths. Therefore, farmer awareness, and modern methods of rearing and caring for animals towards maximum productivity is advocated and should be encouraged through the Ministry of Agriculture.
Predicting maize and soybean crops dry biomass through rhizobacteria microorganisms activity on foliar bio-fertilizer in an arid agro-climate: A multiple linear regression analysis

After previously showing rhizobacteria Pseudomonas fluorescence and foliar bio-fertilizer mixture as a suitable practice in improving maize and soybean crops development and dry biomass, this study thus embark on predicting the above-mentioned plants dry biomass feature through their yield and growth parameters by assessing P. fluorescence activities on foliar bio-fertilizer in an arid agro-climate. For this purpose, several scripts and functions from our previous computational statistic pipeline, developed in R programming environment were partially used for statistical survey. Several multiple linear regression models have been achieved aimed at understanding the links between maize and soybean crops (i) dry biomass, (ii) yield and (iii) growth features as well as highlights the synergic roles of rhizobacteria microorganisms and foliar bio-fertilizer on that relationship. Findings, revealed as expected, a significant difference in term of crops development between plants from seeds without treatment and those from seeds under (i) rhizobacteria, (ii) rhizobacteri + foliar bio-fertilizer mixture and (iii) foliar bio-fertilizer treatments (p<0.05). Also, yield parameters exhibited a substantial variability reacting to rhizobacteria microorganism as well as to rhizobacteria microorganism + foliar bio-fertilizer mixture as opposed to growth features. Hence, the present results clearly showed significant difference between rhizobacteria microorganism and foliar bio-fertilizer activities impacting both maize and soybean crops yield and growth features (p<0.05). Indeed, findings suggested a selective impact of rhizobacteria microorganisms (P. fluorescence) on processed plants yield features. The same findings exhibited P. fluorescence and foliar bio-fertilizer mixture, as adjusting the synergy between both processed crops growth and yield parameters by improving dry biomass feature (p= 0.17). Finally, this study emphasized rhizobacteria microorganism’s activities on foliar bio-fertilizer in an arid agro-climate low fertile soil as a weighty promoter improving maize and soybean crops dry biomass by normalizing the relationship concerning growth and yield features. Key words: Rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescence), growth and yield parameters, dry biomass, maize (Zea mays. L.) and soybean (Glycine max), computational statistic.

REDUNDANCY OF LAGGED REGRESSORS REVISITED

In a recent Econometric Theory problem, it was demonstrated that in a conditionally heteroskedastic time series regression with martingale difference errors the use of lagged values of regressors as instruments may not increase the efficiency of estimation relative to ordinary least squares. We provide an example of an analogous phenomenon in a model with serially correlated errors, where the optimal instrumental variables estimator is asymptotically as efficient as the instrumental variables estimator constructed as optimal when ignoring the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity.I thank a referee for providing useful comments that improved the presentation and the co-editor Paolo Paruolo for his patience.
Inferences for the Generalized Logistic Distribution Based on Record Statistics

Estimation for the parameters of the generalized logistic distribution (GLD) is obtained based on record statistics from a Bayesian and non-Bayesian approach. The Bayes estimators cannot be obtained in explicit forms. So the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms are used for computing the Bayes estimates. Point estimation and confidence intervals based on maximum likelihood and the parametric bootstrap methods are proposed for estimating the unknown parameters. A numerical example has been analyzed for illustrative purposes. Comparisons are made between Bayesian and maximum likelihood estimators via Monte Carlo simulation.
A Paradigm Model of Children of Alcohol Abuse Parents Phenomenon

Presently, the wave of alcohol abuse in families in Nigeria has stretched to startling point just as only few is free of alcohol abuse and unfortunately, nothing is being done about it. Therefore, this study filled the knowledge gap in the phenomena of children of alcohol abuse parent by focusing on the factors that contribute to its development in the context of Nigeria. The study seeks to understand the antecedents, the context and prevailing conditions that influence it, as well as description of alcohol abuse phenomenon, the coping strategies and the consequences resulting from the coping strategies. In-depth interviews were conducted with 19 children and seven parents who were recruited through Alcohol Abuse and Family Support Agency. A grounded theory approach was adopted to analyze the transcribed interview data. Nvivo 10 software was used in analyzing the data by methodologically coding and categorizing the data in open, axial and selective coding. A paradigm model was obtained based on informants’ personal comments and experiences which uniquely contributed to the body of knowledge on the phenomena of children of alcohol abuse parent in Nigeria. The significance of the study lies in an attempt to provide a working framework for reducing the effect of parental alcohol abuse on children that will eventually leads to frustration and abuse of alcohol. This study is planned to benefit all parties: parents, teachers, counselors and other stakeholders to minimize the effect of parent alcohol abuse on children. Keywords: Alcohol abuse, Grounded theory, Paradigm model, children, Nvivo
Weighted ABC: a new strategy for cluster strong lensing cosmology with simulations

Comparisons between observed and predicted strong lensing properties of galaxy clusters have been routinely used to claim either tension or consistency withCDM cosmology. How- ever, standard approaches to such cosmological tests are unable to quantify the preference for one cosmology over another. We advocate using a 'weighted' variant of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), whereby the parameters of the scaling relation between Einstein radii and cluster mass,α andβ, are treated as summary statistics. We demonstrate, for the first time, a method of estimating the likelihood of the data under theCDM framework, using the X-ray selected z > 0.5 MACS clusters as a case in point and employing both N-body and hydro- dynamic simulations of clusters. We investigate the uncertainty in the calculated likelihood, and consequential ability to compare competing cosmologies, that arises from incomplete de- scriptions of baryonic processes, discrepancies in cluste r selection criteria, redshift distribu- tion, and dynamical state. The relation between triaxial cl uster masses at various overdensities provide a promising alternative to the strong lensing test.

Model for Strengthening Accuracy throughDetection of Anomalous Firewall Policy Rules

The firewall is a core technology that has an important role in the network security. However, managing firewall policy is an extremely complex task because the interactive rules in centralized or distributed firewalls significantly increase the possibility of policy mismanagement and network vulnerabilities. Therefore, the accuracy factor is crucial for managing policy rules by detecting the anomalies firewall policy rules . The lack of accuracy in the policy rules management leads to high risk for the network security. Therefore, we propose a model for strengthening of the accuracy in management and detection of the anomalous of firewall policy rules in small network security.
A Review on Data Stream Classification

At this present time, the significance of data streams cannot be denied as many researchers have placed their focus on the research areas of databases, statistics, and computer science. In fact, data streams refer to some data points sequences that are found in order with the potential to be non-binding, which is generated from the process of generating information in a manner that is not stationary. As such the typical tasks of searching data have been linked to streams of data that are inclusive of clustering, classification, and repeated mining of pattern. This paper presents several data stream clustering approaches, which are based on density, besides attempting to comprehend the function of the related algorithms; both semi-supervised and active learning, along with reviews of a number of recent studies.
Magnetic Line Source Diffraction by a PEMC Step in Lossy Medium

In this chapter, we investigate a magnetic line source diffraction problem concerned with a step. To study the diffraction problem in lossy medium, we follow the Wiener-Hopf technique and steepest decent method to solve it for impedance step. By equating the impedances of the step to zero, the solution reduces for magnetic line source diffraction by PEC step. Then we transform the obtained solution for PEMC step by using duality transformation. Perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) theory is novel idea developed by Lindell and Sihvola. This media is interlinked with two conductors namely perfect electric conductor (PEC) and perfect magnetic conductor (PMC). Both PEC and PMC are the limiting cases of perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC). We study the magnetic line source diffraction by PEMC step placed in different soils (i) gravel sand (ii) sand and (iii) clay. By using the permittivity, permeability and conductivity of these lossy mediums we predict the loss effect on the diffracted field. Such kind of study is very useful in antenna and wave propagation for subsurface targets and to investigate antenna radiation patterns.
Green's function in frequency analysis of circular thin plates of variable thickness

Free vibration analysis of homogeneous and isotropic circular thin plates with variable distribution of parameters by using Green's functions (solution to homogeneous ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients) is considered. The formula of Green's function (called the influence function) depends on the Poisson ratio and the coefficient of distribution of plate flexural rigidity, and the thickness is obtained in a closed-form. The limited independent solutions to differential Euler equations are expanded in the Neumann power series using the Volterra integral equations of the second kind. This approach allows one to obtain the analytical frequency equations as the power series rapidly convergens to exact eigenvalues for different values of the power index and different values of the Poisson ratio. The six lower natural dimensionless frequencies of axisymmetric vibration of circular plates of constant and variable thickness are calculated for different boundary conditions. The obtained results are compared with selected results presented in the literature.
Unveiling the Origin of the Fermi Bubbles

The Fermi bubbles, two giant structures above and below the Galactic center (GC), are among the most important discoveries of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Studying their physical origin has been providing valuable insights into cosmic-ray transport, the Galactic magnetic field, and past activity at the GC in the Milky Way galaxy. Despite their importance, the formation mechanism of the bubbles is still elusive. Over the past few years, there have been numerous efforts, both observational and theoretical, to uncover the nature of the bubbles. In this article, we present an overview of the current status of our understanding of the bubbles’ origin, and discuss possible future directions that will help to distinguish different scenarios of bubble formation.
Acute Static Volar Intercalated Segment Instability (VISI) of the Wrist: A Case Report

Introduction: Isolated injuries of the lunotriquetral (LTq) interosseous ligament and associated structures are less common and less well understood than other forms of dissociative carpal instability. For a VISI deformity to occur the LTq interosseous ligament must be disrupted but the progression of lunotriquetral dissociation requires further ligamentous injury, particularly the palmar LTq ligament, and for full dissociation between the lunate and triquetrum, the dorsal radiocarpal ligaments, which finally results in a static volar intercalated segmental instability (VISI) pattern. Case report: A 52-year old left-handed male patient of black origin was presented with a rare pattern of an acute static volar intercalated instability (VISI). Complete disruption of both the intrinsic lunotriquetral ligaments and the dorsal intercarpal ligaments were identified at surgery. Direct repair and dorsal capsulodesis plus temporary pinning of the lunotriquetral joint were carried out. The patient had a good clinical outcome at 2.5 years of follow up despite the persistent static VISI deformity in the last follow up radiographs. Conclusion: This case represents a clinical proof of both anatomical and biomechanical studies that in order for a static VISI deformity to occur (Stage III), not only must the lunotriquetral interosseous ligament and the palmar lunotriquetral ligaments be disrupted but there must also be disruption to the dorsal capsule.
Using openWordnet-PT to improve VIVO

VIVO is an open source semantic web application for research discovery. The power of VIVO relies mainly on the VIVO-ISF ontology and its expressivity to represent all information about researchers and the research domain. VIVOISF makes all those types of information interconnected and browsable in the VIVO application. Nevertheless, although VIVO has good support for faceted search across disciplines, it is still not anything more than a keywordbased search engine. That is; it is still not using the power of semantics for information retrieving. WordNet [5] is an extremely valuable resource for research in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing in general. WordNet has been used for a number of different purposes in information systems, including word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, automatic text classification, automatic text summarization, and dozens of other knowledge intensive projects. WordNets model the semantic relationships between words and they are crucial in all those applications because computational systems are not aware of the fact that salario (salary) and contra-cheque (paycheck) both refer to salary, or that beneficio (benefit) is also related to these words as a common more general hypernym. Wordnets have been distributed in a wide range of different incompatible data formats. An increasingly popular way of addressing the issue of interoperability is to rely on Linked Data and Semantic Web standards such as RDF [2] and OWL [7], which have led to the emergence of a number of Linked Data projects for lexical resources [3, 1]. OpenWordnet-PT 1 is a lexical-semantic resource describing (Brazilian) Portuguese words and their relationships. It is modelled after and fully interoperable with the original Princeton WordNet for English [5], relying
Depression among the Geriatric Population is a Matter of Concern: A Community Based Study in a Rural Area of West Bengal

Depression is commonest psychiatric disorder in elderly; it is often misdiagnosed and undertreated. People with depression suffer from impairment of all major areas of functioning ranging from personal care to social capability, which in turn decreases individuals’ quality of life and increases dependency on others Elderly patients with depression are more prone in developing chronic diseases like ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension. This problem may be more severe in rural population. Objective of this study is to find out the magnitude of depression and its correlates among a rural geriatric population.
Coconut oil reduces protozoa count and methane release during fermentation in a Rusitec system

The influence of coconut oil on microbial activity was investigated in vitro using a rumen simulation technique (Rusitec). Diets containing either 40 (L-diet) or 60% (H-diet) of concentrate and 60 or 40% hay, respectively, were supplemented with coconut oil at the rate of 5% DM (experimental cultures) or given alone (control cultures). Coconut oil significantly reduced ciliate numbers and methane concentration independently of the diet (P<0.05). Bacteria numbers increased significantly (L-diet) or remained unaffected (H-diet) And, conversely, the ammonia concentration remained unchanged (L-diet) or decreased (H-diet). Coconut oil had no effect on the molar proportions of acetate, propionate, or butyrate.
NUGRID STELLAR DATA SET. I. STELLAR YIELDS FROM H TO BI FOR STARS WITH METALLICITIES Z = 0.02 and Z = 0.01

We provide a set of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis calculations that applies established physics assumptions simultaneously to low- and intermediate-mass and massive star models. Our goal is to provide an internally consistent and comprehensive nuclear production and yield database for applications in areas such as presolar grain studies. Our non-rotating models assume convective boundary mixing (CBM) where it has been adopted before. We include 8 (12) initial masses for Z = 0.01 (0.02). Models are followed either until the end of the asymptotic giant branch phase or the end of Si burning, complemented by simple analytic core-collapse supernova (SN) models with two options for fallback and shock velocities. The explosions show which pre-SN yields will most strongly be effected by the explosive nucleosynthesis. We discuss how these two explosion parameters impact the light elements and the s and p process. For low- and intermediate-mass models, our stellar yields from H to Bi include the effect of CBM at the He-intershell boundaries and the stellar evolution feedback of the mixing process that produces the pocket. All post-processing nucleosynthesis calculations use the same nuclear reaction rate network and nuclear physics input. We provide a discussion of the nuclear production across the entire mass range organized by element group. The entirety of our stellar nucleosynthesis profile and time evolution output are available electronically, and tools to explore the data on the NuGrid VOspace hosted by the Canadian Astronomical Data Centre are introduced.
Insecticide resistance to endosulfan, monocrotophos and metamidophos in the neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (F.)

The Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (F.), is usually controlled by organophosphate (OP) and cyclodiene (endosulfan) insecticides. Some unsuccessful control cases lead us to search for resistance to these insecticides in E. heros, the most common stink bug in the soybean growing regions of Parana State, Sao Paulo State and Central Region of Brazil. Bioassays were performed with endosulfan, monocrotophos and metamidophos against adults. The most susceptible population was found in Londrina. Populations from Pedrinhas Paulista (SP) showed the highest resistance ratio (RR) to endosulfan (RR= 8.7) and metamidophos (RR=2.7); resistance to monocrotophos was detected on bugs from Centenario do Sul (PR) (RR= 3.1). Stink bugs collected from Toledo (PR), showed susceptibility to metamidophos comparable to those from Londrina.
