DISTRIBUTION AND SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI INFECTION OF BIOMPHALARIA GLABRATA IN DIFFERENT HABITATS IN A RURAL AREA IN THE JEQUITINHONHA VALLEY, MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL: ENVIRONMENTAL AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS

This paper examines the distribution and infection of Biomphalaria glabrata with Schistosoma mansoni in all aquatic snail habitats in a rural area in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in relation to physico/biotic and behavioral factors.Snail and environmental surveys were carried out semi-annually between July 2001 and November 2002 at 106 sites.

In this paper, we propose a target-tracking system for a mobile robot equipped with a stereo camera.Mobile service robots with the ability to track a specific person in dynamic environments have been required.In such environments, varying illumination and the presence of multiple people are challenges to carrying out target tracking.Color and locat

A virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective way to manage distributed energy resources.Virtual power plant cluster (VPPC) is constructed due to the increasing number of VPPs.It has great synovex one grass potential in carbon emission reduction through coordination between VPPs.Therefore, a dynamic dispatch priority model is proposed.The model adjus
