Xenopsylla cheopis and Plague: Biology, Transmission, and Control
Abstract: Xenopsylla cheopis, the oriental rat flea, remains the most important vector of Yersinia pestis in classical rodent–flea–human plague cycles. Its biology is tightly adapted to commensal rats, especially Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus, whose nests provide microhabitats that support all pre adult stages and favour persistent flea populations near humans. The flea’s holometabolous life cycle, including the capacity for prolonged pupal quiescence and opportunistic host-seeking by adults, underpins its ability …

Application of Dynamic Phasor Model as an Alternative to DFT in Phasor Measurement
Abstract: This paper presents the application of dynamic phasor based models as an alternative to the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) commonly used in the Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). The paper demonstrates that the computation of a phasor using DFT in discrete time domain is equivalent to the computation of phasor (Dynamic Phasor) in continuous time domain. This paper proposes the application of dynamic phasor based models to simulate a Wide Area …

Optimizing Anesthesia for Major Surgery: The Role of Sequential Combined Spinal-Epidural Technique
Abstract: The Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) approach has been widely employed over the last decade because it achieves rapid onset and substantial blockage while also allowing for the modification or prolongation of the block. Background: Sequential spinal-epidural anesthesia (SSEA) combines the rapid onset and dense blockade of spinal anesthesia with the prolonged duration and adjustable analgesia of epidural anesthesia. This technique is particularly beneficial in major surgeries requiring prolonged operative time …
