Evaluation of numerical integration schemes for a partial integro-differential equation

Numerical methods are important in computational neuroscience where complex nonlinear systems are studied. This report evaluates two methodologies, finite differences and Fourier series, for numerically integrating a nonlinear neural model based on a partial integro-differential equation. The stability and convergence criteria of four finite difference methods is investigated and their efficiency determined. Various ODE solvers in Matlab are used with the Fourier series method to solve the neural model, with an evaluation of the accuracy of the approximation versus the efficiency of the method. The two methodologies are then compared

CC56-139 Poultry Profit Pointers: Marketing Eggs

The egg represents the marketable, finished produce from the laying flock. Poultry raisers should be familiar with eggs and do everything possible to maintain egg quality. Eggs are a valuable human food because they are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. Like other important protein foods, eggs should be properly handled to protect their quality. This campaign circular discusses what to look for in the size eggs and how to handle them before taking them market

The Public-Private Divide in Prosecutions and Obtaining of Evidence: Towards a Code?

In English law, in spite of the existence of the Crown Prosecution Service, every person still has the right to bring a criminal prosecution. Nowadays, this right is little used by individuals acting in a personal capacity, but private prosecutions have become much more common in recent years as corporations have attempted to use them to protect their commercial interests, and as some law firms have encouraged individuals and corporations to bring them as a means of obtaining redress. In 1977, Lord Diplock stated that the right to bring a private prosecution is ‘a useful constitutional safeguard against capricious, corrupt or biased failure or refusal of [the relevant state] authorities to prosecute offenders against the criminal law.’1 However, there is more recent judicial authority for the view that the right to prosecute privately is a historical anomaly of little worth, and potentially dangerous.2 It is with both of these judicial views in mind that we examine the relationship between certain organisations which exist solely to protect the commercial interests of particular corporations, and English and Welsh state agencies such as police authorities and local councils, which have a duty to consider the public interest but which sometimes work in partnership with such organisations.We argue that this relationship raises serious concerns about the potential abuse of state power by private organisations, and that a specific code of conduct may be required to guard against such abuse
