These strategic alliances, called competitive alliance or global strategic partnership, are business arrangements in which two or more partners agree to cooperate for the mutual benefit, they are a way to support or strengthen the competitive advantages of partners. The main motivations of firms to choose this type of combination would be the first new market penetration, and representing a much cheaper way to penetrate the home market of the partner or on another market where the partner has a strong position, and sharing the risks of investment. In addition to these great benefits this paper shows a multitude of other associated benefits such as tax-related benefits, is often a possibility of penetrating the protected markets, division of market risk and political risk by creating an association with a local partner that would ensure the minimization of negative interference caused by the policy of the state at the same time respecting and industrial policy of the host country. Another motivation for the adoption of strategic alliances is that each partner will learn from the other partner.

In recent times, a number of studies have been done on object tracking with wireless sensor networks (WSN) due to its broad applications. Most object tracking schemes uses prediction to minimize the energy consumption and to maintain low missing rate in a sensor network. However objects need to be localize, when object was found missing during tracking process. In this paper, we propose an inference system such as fuzzy Inference system (FIS) to calculate the edge weight of each sensor node and also we propose a searching technique such as simulated annealing to optimize the fuzzy inference system to accurately estimate the location of the missing object and Finally, we simulated our proposed method against the centroid and multilatertion methods to evaluate its performance in terms of network energy consumption and localization error.

INTRODUCTION\nNeurotrauma provide a significant percentage of,, preventable deaths \'\' in trauma, makes the utmost chance of survival and rehabilitation remote generates traumatic disability and concomitant lesion associations.\nMATERIAL AND METHOD OF STUDY\n398 patients admitted in UPU Craiova between 2009 to 2012 with combined abdominal trauma and neurotrauma where analyzed as a difficulties of interpretation and management. \nRESULTS\nThe combination of neuro and abdominal trauma is over then 40% from observed patients. \nEach of the two lesion types generate medical issues that can evade symptoms and signs and add secondary traumatic effects; this association confers specificity not only in the diagnosis but also the management and evolution\nThe ,,occulte” lesions are missed diagnosis lesions caused by a multitude of effects of ,,removal” of symptoms and signs of other clinical syndromes, induced by altered menthal status and level of sensibility, witch may mask or complicate such visceral abdominal injuries.\nThe survival chance is higher to the patients with medium TS and medium management then inferior TS and aggressive, anticipative management\nCONCLUSIONS \n1. clinical examination data are difficult to interpretate in the presence of altered mental status and paraclinical resources must be widespread or systematic used \n2. cervical spine trauma or spinal shock evade most significant abdominal clinical signs\n3. neurogenic shock can create confusion in interpretation of the hemorrhagic shock\n4.secondary brain injury is maintained or aggravated by the presence of shock, but overcorrection of those to \n5. general anesthesia should be early initiated in tactics, techniques and means custom, which has undeniable benefits in combating shock

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is one of the major threats of cattle stock industry in Egypt. 9 There is much confusion in laboratory diagnosis of lumpy skin disease. Specific lumpy 10 skin disease virus (LSDV) primers were used in polymerase chain reaction assay (PCR) 11 on field samples of skin biopsies and EDTA blood from clinically infected cattle located 12 in Ismaillia, Egypt to assess their efficiency for LSD diagnosis. The specificity of the 13 primers was confirmed by using other Capripox viruses (CaPVs) such as vaccinal strain 14 of sheep poxvirus (SPPV) and local adapted tissue culture LSDV (Ismaillia 88). Specific 15 LSDV primers were successfully and specifically detected the LSDV in 100% of skin 16 biopsies and 40% of EDTA blood samples and did not able to detect SPPV. Therefore, 17 specific PCR is a valuable technique for accurate diagnosis of LSD without any 18 confusion with other related viruses and differentiate LSDV from SPPV and must be 19 used as routine diagnostic test for LSD. Detection of LSDV in field samples by using 20 PCR and Dot blot hybridization (DBH) were compared. The results revealed that both 21 PCR and DBH detected LSDV in 100% skin biopsies while detection rates in EDTA 22 blood were 40% and 30% using PCR and DBH respectively.

In this paper we study the mapping properties with respect to our new generalized integral operators.

There is an integral link between theory and measurement suggesting that validation of measures should be the first stage of theory testing. The aim of the present study was to validate the factorial validity of needs and expectations features as determinants of low-income residents’ housing satisfaction in South Africa. Data were collected by a face-to-face administered questionnaire survey conducted among 751 low-income housing residents’ in three metropolitan and one district municipality in the Gauteng Province of South Africa. Data gathered via the questionnaire survey were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) which was used to assess the factor structure of the constructs. SEM analysis revealed that the internal consistency coefficients were over 0.70 criterions for acceptability and the constructs show a good mode fit to the sample data. The Z-statistics analysis revealed that the construct (needs and expectations) have direct influence in determining low-income residents’ satisfaction with their houses. The result advocates a practical consideration of the construct and its respective indicator variables in future development of low-income housing in South Africa.

In autumn 2011, in cyprinid farms located in Iasi on the Jijia river, we diagnosed several infections with bacterial strains and macroscopical external cysts on the skin, developed as a result of the stress induced by biotic and abiotic factors. On the examination of the cyst contents the presence of numerous spores was observed, typical of the genus Dermocystidium erschowii. \nThe samples were collected from the following species: common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) from the fish farm as well as from the Jijia River. In this respect, 35 fish were examined, all of them showing cyst, fragmentation of their dorsal fin and congestion of the gills. \nHistological examination of the skin showed multiple dermal cysts field with round light eosinophilic formations (14-16 µm) containing a central refractable body similar to that reported for Dermocystidium erschowii.\nGills samples were taken from the affected areas, for the SEM examination with the purpose of evaluating not only aspects of normal morphology but also aspects of some modifications characterising the affected areas together with the presence of etiologically incriminated bacteria: Pseudomonas fluorescens.\nThe isolates were identified by phenotypics metods. All the strains showed mobility and oxidase-positivity were tested used API 20 NE strip. Consequently, they were taxonomically grouped into the species Pseudomonas fluorescens. \nScanning electron microscope (SEM) was used for the first time in characterization of the bacterial lesions produced by Pseudomonas strains on Cyprinus carpio and Carassius auratus gibelio gills.\nThe diagnosis of septicemy with conditionately pathogen species of Pseudomonas fluorescens was correlated with the results of physico-chemical investigations of water and data concerning breeding conditions of the investigated livestock.

A rapid, simple, specific, precise and accurate reversed phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) method has been developed for determination of insulin in dosage form. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a Symmetry® RP-C18, (150mm X 4.6mm, 5μm) column at a detector wavelength of 214 nm and a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. Mobile phase comprised of 55 volume of 1 mmol sodium sulphate in HPLC water pH 3.2, adjusted by phosphoric acid and 45 vol of acetonitrile. The retention time of insulin was 4.3 min. The linear regression analysis data for the calibration plots showed good linear relationship in the concentration range between 1-45 µg/mL. The value of correlation coefficient, slope and intercept were, 0.9997, 67755 and 10773, respectively. Standard deviations of the slope and intercept for the calibration curves were 1824 and 17908, respectively. LOD and LOQ values were determined to be 0.10 and 0.25 µg/ml, respectively. The method was validated for accuracy, precision and ruggedness. Mean recovery was 100.46 % while Intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations were 0.395% and 0.289% respectively. The proposed RP-LC method can be applied for the quality control or routine analysis of bulk insulin as well as commercially available formulations of insulin.

Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) caused by Helminthosporium madyis (H. maydis) is the major foliar disease in Pakistan. In an in vitro study, 12 different fungicides in four concentrations (10, 20, 40 and 60 ppm) were evaluated against it. Results showed that ridomil gold and sancozeb were the most effective fungicides in inhibiting colony growth of H. maydis at the concentrations of 40 and 60 ppm. The test fungicides were also used for seed dressing under field conditions at the National Agriculture Research Centre (NARC), Islamabad. Of all treatments, ridomil gold followed by antracol was found to be the most effective fungicides in reducing the disease (10.1 and 21.1%) and consequently increasing the grain yield (5936 and 5011 kg ha-1 respectively). Detached leaf technique experiment showed that ridomil gold, acrobat and antracol were more effective spray fungicides up till 96 hrs after inoculating the leaves with 25 µl spore suspension. The most effective test fungicide ridomil gold was then applied on the pathogen inoculated leaves as curative agent at 24 hrs interval up till 144 hrs. It was observed that appearance of disease symptoms were effectively controlled up till 72 hrs. after inoculation of spore suspension. These results showed that application of the fungicide is more effective at an early plant stages. Thus, selected agrochemical (Ridomil gold) with recommended doses (40 and 60 ppm) could be applied at 4-6 leaf stages in different agro-climatic zones of Pakistan in future.
