Rotational load shedding is a measure widely used under severe power shortage situations resulting in cyclic blackouts. The paper presents an agent-based distributed cyclic blackout mitigation...
Digenetic trematodes (class Trematoda) often plague pond-reared fishes. Most digenetic trematodes are not a serious threat to fish health; however, their mere presence often renders the fish undesirable by consumers. The black grub (Uvulifer ambloplitis), white grub (Posthodiplostomum minimum),...

Though the phrase "neglected tropical diseases" is commonly used in the literature today, we have instead chosen the broader phrase "neglected diseases" because some of the infectious diseases of concern in the Americas, such as plague and leptospirosis, are not geographically limited to the ...
licking, itching, or hair loss. While inspecting an affected host, you may actually see a fast-moving flea, but this is not always the case. Sometimes, evidence of a flea’s presence is non-existent, or one may find their fecal material, which appears as black specks, in a pet’s fu...
Quarantine, or stay isolated, is to place the contacts in designated place to limit their scope of movement for observation, inspection, testing, and treatment. It is usually applicable to fulminating or severe infectious diseases, such as plague,cholera,SARS, Ebola, the duration of which shall...
The number of cases of foodborne and infant botulism has changed little in recent years. However, the incidence of wound botulism has increased, especially in California, from the use of black-tar heroin, which causes infected wounds at heroin injection sites. What are the symptoms of botulism?
