Abstract Background Vector control interventions using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are commonly practiced tools for the control of malaria in Ethiopia.In order to evaluate the effectiveness of these control interventions, and understand the prevailing malaria vectors, their incrimination in disease tran
Security in modern smart metering communications and in smart grid networks has been an area of interest recently.In this field, identity-based mutual authentication including credential privacy without active involvement of a trusted third party is an important building block for smart grid technology.Recently, several schemes have been proposed f
Fish skin mucus is an important component of the innate immune mechanism and provides white ice laminate countertop a first barrier against pathogens.Although several studies investigated and demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of skin mucus of fishes, most of them tested antimicrobial properties against marine microbial strains as potential
In case pressurized water or vapor leaks from a failed heat transfer tube in a steam generator of a sodium-cooled fast reactor, a high-velocity, high-temperature, and corrosive jet with sodium-water chemical reaction may cause tube failure propagation.In this study, a numerical analysis method to predict the occurrence of tube failure propagation b
