BACKGROUND: Only limited information is currently available on the prevalence of vector borne and zoonotic pathogens in dogs and ticks in Nigeria.The aim of read more this study was to use molecular techniques to detect and characterize vector borne pathogens in dogs and ticks from Nigeria.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Blood samples and ticks (Rh
Covalent organic frameworks comprise a unique class of functional materials that has discount greenery recently emerged as a versatile tool for energy-related, photocatalytic, environmental, and electrochromic device applications.A plethora of structures can be designed and implemented through a careful selection of ligands and functional units.On
A low-cost yet effective localization scheme for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is presented in this study.The proposed scheme uses only two anchor nodes and uses bilateration to estimate the coordinates of unknown nodes.Many localization algorithms for WSNs require the installation of extra components, such as a GPS, ultrasonic transceiver, and h
The propagation of sound waves in a fluid-filled rigid tube has potential application in acoustic particle-positioning, valuable reagent recovery, and noninvasive manipulation of targets.The interaction between sound waves and targets causes momentum transport, and the acoustic radiation force is motivated to move and rotate the targets.Generally,
