A mathematical model for the spread of west nile virus in migratory and resident birds by Louis D. Bergsman, James M. Hyman, Carrie A. Manore

“…We find that yearly seasonal outbreaks depend primarily on the number of susceptible migrant birds entering the local population each season.We observe that the early growth rates of seasonal outbreaks is more influenced by thethe migratory population than the resident bird population.This implies that although the death of highly competent resident birds, such as American Crows,are good indicators for the presence of the virus, these species have less impact on the basic reproductive number than the competent migratory birds with low death rates, such as the American Robins.The disease forecasts are most sensitive to the assumptions about the feeding preferences of North American mosquito vectors and the effect of the virus on the hosts. …”

Construction of Modified Carbon Paste Electrodes for Determination of Tramadol in Very Trace Amounts by Muthana S. Ali

“… This research includes estimating the drug (Tramadol Hydrochloride, TR) using the potentiometric method by constructing selective electrodes for TR drug with the active ingredient (Ammonium Reinackate, AR) using a plasticizer (Nitro benzene, NB) and adding nanomaterials (Multi wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), Nanosilica) for carbon paste electrodes to increase selectivity and sensitivity towards the material to be estimated. The results showed that the manufactured electrodes were able to estimate tramadol hydrochloride in the pharmaceutical preparation (tramadol tablets) at very low concentrations (trace amounts) up to 5.0×10-6 M using the direct and standard methods and proved to have a wide linear range up to 1.0´10-8 - 1.0´10-2 M. …”
