Abstract Ion temperatures of over 100 million degrees Kelvin (8.6 keV) have been produced in the ST40 compact high-field spherical tokamak (ST). excess 5 keV not previously reached any ST and only obtained much larger devices with substantially more plasma heating power.

SUMMARY The numerical distributions of Echinococcus granulosus in an experimental dog population are described. At all dose rates protoscoleces from 10 to 175000 the distribution worms was over-dispersed. Host age had no effect. There a direct proportionality between infective-stage density and rate infection, latter index clumping. worm burdens were significantly higher proximal than distal portions small intestine. Lengths 3- 4-segmented increased 4 8 weeks age, respectively. Thereafter...

A mathematical model of the life-cycle Echinococcus granulosus in dogs and sheep New Zealand is constructed used to discuss previously published experimental survey data. The then describe dynamics transmission parasite, means by which it may be destabilized. It found that under conditions prevailed during late 1950s, at time surveys this dog-sheep was not regulated any effective density-dependent constraint. In contrast there evidence for an acquisition immunity reinfection cattle. long...
Sonographic evidence of asymptomatic Echinococcus granulosus lesions in the liver was found 156 9,515 persons Department Florida, Uruguay. The sensitivity ELISA and latex agglutination serology compared with ultrasound 47.6% 28.1%, respectively, specificity > 85%. There a significant positive association between sonography personal history previous but treated infection while those that were seropositive ultrasound-negative significantly more likely to have or their family.

SUMMARY An evaluation has been made of the biological and epidemiological parameters that determine basic reproductive rates Taenia hydatigena T. ovis . These host-parasite systems are characterized by (i) no overcrowding in either host; (ii) parasite-induced mortality (iii) density-dependent constraint definitive host, but a strong, rapidly mobilized, short-acting immunity intermediate host (iv) egg production which, natural environment, is high enough to prevent superinfection. It...
In experiments in which mammalian cells were irradiated with 5 . 6 MeV alpha particles from a Tandem Van de Graaff machine, we have confirmed the finding of others that mean lethal dose (Do) is about 60 rad. However, on measuring area nuclei flattened as they irradiated, found this corresponds to passage not one or two per cell nucleus expected but between 10 and 20 particles. This allows for possibility direct action may be important event carcinogenesis.
Abstract The oral microbiome is a diverse community of microbes residing on all surfaces. A balanced associated with good health, and disruption can result in imbalance diseases including gingivitis dental caries. It important, therefore, to understand how daily use hygiene products impacts the microbiome. Composition activity plaque from 115 participants was analysed after brushing one two toothpastes, containing zinc citrate trihydrate other control toothpaste, parallel design. Each...
Abstract In this paper, the turbulent transport properties of ST40 hot ion plasmas are examined and fully predictive time evolving modelling a plasma pulse was performed. Understanding on spherical tokamaks (STs) is challenging due to their unique geometry characteristics. typically unstable scale Trapped Electron Modes (TEMs) Ubiquitous (UMs), driven from kinetic response trapped particles passing ions, electron Temperature Gradient (ETGs) at edge plasma. A comparison between linear modes...
SUMMARY It is shown that under the conditions prevailed in New Zealand late 1950s, Taenia hydatigena was hyperendemic, life-cycle being regulated by a density-dependent constraint form of acquired immunity, and T. ovis rare. The control measures caused Echinococcus granulosus , which endemic at time, to decline towards extinction reduced status only. A non-linear integrodifferential equation model, previously linearized describe E. dogs sheep Zealand, used life-cycles . model then compare...
Experiments showed that dead blowflies containing eggs of Taenia hydatigena can transmit infection if ingested by lambs during grazing. Rabbits became infected with T. pisiformis after grazing grass exposed to had been in contact dog faeces the this parasite. When captive were first proglottids and then cooked meat, 100% pigs fed on meat infected. The experiments are intended model transmission dynamics result human larval tapeworm infections. implications results epidemiology hydatid...
SummaryMammalian cells in culture have been shown here for the first time to be transformed by alpha irradiation. Mouse embryo (C3H 10T1/2) were with 5·6 MeV particles from a Tandem Van de Graaff machine. Malignant tumours induced following inoculation of into syngeneic hosts. Unirradiated control failed produce tumours. The morphology foci was similar that obtained X-rays and chemicals but different virally cells. transformation frequency increased approximately as cube dose maximum about 4...
