Research on a very energy-efficient and low-delay flooding algorithm for wireless sensor network by LI Fang-min1, LIU Xin-hua1, KUANG Hai-lan2

“…A novel flooding algorithm called priority covering algorithm was proposed for wireless sensor network.In the algorithm,a method of priority covering was used for assigning different forwarding priorities to vicinity nodes so as to make the flooding packet cover the whole network rapidly;a scheme of restrained forwarding and a scheme of dynamic delay for forwarding were used for restraining the redundant flooding packets and reducing the conflicting retransmission overhead.The result of simulation shows that the algorithm is more energy-efficient and low-delay than those similar flooding algorithms proposed.…”

Efficacy of Ivermectin, Liquid Paraffin, and Carbaryl against Mange of Farmed Rabbits in Central Kenya by Kennedy O. Ogolla, Joyce Chebet, Robert M. Waruiru, Peter K. Gathumbi, Paul O. Okumu, Gabriel O. Aboge

“…The 16 mange-infested rabbits were randomly allocated into 4 treatment groups each consisting of 4 rabbits, while 4 mange-free rabbits formed the negative control group. Treatments were administered as follows: group 1 (G1) received two ivermectin injections at an interval of 14 days, group 2 (G2) was treated with a combination of carbaryl and liquid paraffin applied every other day up to the end of the experiment, group 3 (G3) was treated with liquid paraffin droplets applied daily until the lesion cleared, while group 4 (G4, infected-untreated) received distilled water applied topically on their ears and group 5 (G5, uninfected-untreated negative control) was not treated with any preparation. …”
