Feeding behaviour of tsetse flies (Glossina pallidipes Austen) on Trypanosoma-infected Oxen in Kenya.
Parasitology, 1995Co-Authors: M Baylis, A L MbwabiAbstract:An incomplete ring of electric nets was placed around Oxen which were either uninfected, infected with Trypanosoma vivax, or infected with T. congolense. The numbers of fed and unfed Glossina pallidipes caught on the nets were used to estimate the attractiveness of the Oxen to tsetse, and the feeding success of the tsetse on the Oxen. Oxen infected with T. congolense attracted more G. pallidipes than the other groups of Oxen. Taking into consideration daily variation in the abundance or activity of the flies, Oxen infected with T. congolense were about 70% more attractive to G. pallidipes than were uninfected Oxen or Oxen infected with T. vivax. The latter two groups mostly attracted high numbers of G. pallidipes on days when the flies were especially abundant or active. The feeding success of G. pallidipes declined with increase in the rate at which Oxen made anti-fly movements. Taking this movement rate into consideration, the feeding success of G. pallidipes on Oxen infected with T. congolense was approximately 60% greater than on uninfected Oxen or Oxen infected with T. vivax. It is suggested that vasodilation induced by T. congolense may account for the difference in feeding success. The level of parasitaemia of T. congolense or T. vivax was not found to affect either the attractiveness of Oxen or the feeding success on Oxen. There was significant daily variation in the mean fat content of male G. pallidipes caught around the Oxen but not effect of mean daily fat content on the proportion of males that fed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The mean haematin content of fed male G. pallidipes was positively correlated with the packed cell volume of the ox on which they fed

Oxen, Agricultural Productivity and Farm Income in Nicaragua
2018Co-Authors: Pablo A. Garcia-fuentes, Fukasawa Fukasawa, Edgar A. Rodriguez Martinez, Conney Vargas, Rodrigo MirelesAbstract:This research uses survey data to assess the effect of Oxen as draft animals on agricultural productivity and farm agricultural income in Nicaragua. The results show that farms that use Oxen to plow the land have higher productivity of beans than farms that use stick to plant crops. On average, using Oxen increases farm’s beans output by 7.75 100-pound bags of beans, and hiring Oxen increases farm’s beans output by 8.5 100-pound bags of beans. Farms that use Oxen or hire Oxen to plow the land have more planted area. The impact of using Oxen to plow the land through farm planted area on farm agricultural gross income is 18.13 percent, and the impact of hiring Oxen to plow the land through farm planted area on farm agricultural gross income is 25.55 percent.

The Effect Of Oxen On Agricultural Productivity And Farm Income In Nicaragua
2018Co-Authors: Pablo A. Garcia-fuentes, Yoshimitsu Fukasawa, Conney Vargas, Edgar A. Martinez Rodriguez, Rodrigo MirelesAbstract:This study uses survey data to assess the effect of Oxen as draft animals on agricultural productivity and farm agricultural income in Nicaragua during the year 2017. The results suggest that farms that use Oxen to plow the land have higher bean productivity than farms that use stick to plant crops. On average, using Oxen increases farm’s bean output by 7.75 100-pound bags, and hiring Oxen increases farm’s bean output by 8.5 100-pound bags. Also, using or hiring Oxen increases total farm planted area. The main finding about the effect of Oxen to plow the land through farm planted area on agricultural farm gross income suggests that using Oxen to plow the land increases agricultural farm gross income by 18.13 percent, and that hiring Oxen increases agricultural farm gross income by 25.55 percent.

open s bpm open innovation
Business Process Management, 2013Co-Authors: Albert Fleischmann, Werner Schmidt, Christian StaryAbstract:Open S-BPM serves organizations and their networks, facilitating Business Process Management (BPM), and thus, collaboration, development and effective practices to that respect. Founded in 2012, the initiative encourages community-building between academic institutions, non-profit and commercial organizations. It provides its members, interested individuals and bodies with an open S-BPM framework within which S-BPM projects can flourish. Open S-BPM promotes the standardization of Subject-Oriented Business Process Management, interfaces to and alignment with existing paradigms and approaches to BPM, and the wider adoption of community-content and open standard approaches to BPM within higher education. The initiative is hosted by I2PM, the Institute of Innovative Process Management. Its members coordinate software development and distribution activities for the community, and assure the coherence of S-BPM developments. We report on the current state of affairs, and outline future activities towards protecting intellectual property and tracking contributions.
