In healthcare, the prime objective prior to cure any disease is accurate diagnosis of abnormalities in humane. There are different diagnostic procedures and techniques. In this regard, imaging techniques play a potential role. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging is one among them. The technique uses some gamma photon emitting

The experiment of decoy state QKD has been reported using commercial QKD system based on a standard bi-directional ‘Plug & Play’ set-up. By making simple modifications to a commercial quantum key distribution system, decoy state QKD allows us to achieve much better performance than QKD system without decoy state in terms of key generation r

It is imperative to assess/evaluate the performance of emission computed tomography (ECT) system prior to the use in clinical studies. For this purpose, a variety of test phantoms is commercially available with exactly known composition. The phantom data are used to examine and acquire prior knowledge about the capability and drawbacks of an ECT sy

Recently, the leaves of tomato plant that contained several active compound including alkaloid, steroid and flavanoid has been used for treatment of variety of diseases included anticancer, anti-oxidant and anti-gout. Although a number of pharmacological properties have already been demonstrated, the anti-inflammatory effect of tomato leaves action

Due to the fast development of network technologies in the past few years, situations where not only a single node but an entire network roams and changes its point of attachment to the Internet has been revealed. However, an important requirement for any protocol supporting network mobility is to achieve continuous, optimal and secure communicatio

Introduction: Reduced cerebral blood fl ow is associated with neurodegenerative disorders and dementia, in particular. Experimental evidence has demonstrated the initiating role of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in neuronal damage to the hippocampus, the cerebral cortex, the white matter areas and the visual system. Permanent, bilateral occlusion o

Introduction: Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) inherits a serious problem of scattered gamma photons emanating from the object to be scanned. It is well recognised that, presence of scattered gamma photons in SPECT projection data, degrade the image quality and limit the accuracy in quantification of radioactivity distribution. Th

INDERA is the first Indonesian maritime radar that works using the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology. In the surveillance mode INDERA continuously transmits modulated electromagnetic waves to detect targets in the surrounding area. Since the transmitted signal is a continuous wave, INDERA needs only a very small power to transmi

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) is a warm season annual fiber crop which is found to be the best alternative plant to substitute the raw material for lactic acid production due to its short period of harvest time and process high quality cellulose. It is a lignocellulosic material which is naturally resistant to breakdown to its structural sugars that

The main focus of this chapter is to answer who is the first scientist discovered and described the theory of contagion. In addition, the significant of this chapter is to evaluate Ibn AI-Khatib's contributions to the progress of medicine. The method used in this chapter is as follows: a brief review ofIbn AI-Khatib's life is given, as well
