Abstract Background Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is endemic in Pakistan and causes huge economic losses.This work focus on the Landhi Dairy Colony (LDC), located in the suburbs of Karachi.LDC is the largest Buffalo colony in the world, with more than 300,000 animals (around 95% buffaloes and 5% cattle, as well as an unknown number of sheep and goat
Multi-field coupling in the scrape-off layer of tokamak plasma
We study a reduced electrostatic fluid model for the tokamak scrape-off layer, which incorporates temperature gradient and vorticity gradient as two free energy fields.Two scenarios of field coupling are addressed: (1) sheath condition; (2) vortex wave coupling.For the Me Outerwear sheath condition induced field coupling, the poloidal $mathbf{E} i
An agent-based modelling framework for the simulation of large-scale consumer participation in electricity market ecosystems
Abstract The role of consumers as price-sensitive participants in electricity markets is considered essential to ensure efficient and secure operations of electricity systems.Yet the uncertain or unknown consequences of active market participation remain a large barrier for active consumer-side market participation.Simulations are a powerful tool t
Splenic rupture in an extremely low birthweight infant
Splenic rupture is a rare event in preterm and term infants.Symptoms of splenic rupture include acute blood loss, abdominal distention, and hypotension.We present the case of a 24 4/7 weeks gestation male infant born in the setting of preterm Carabinas premature rupture of membranes who developed splenic rupture at 24 hours of life.Initially, the i
