Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal relationship between maternal vitamin D concentrations during pregnancy and neonatal vitamin D concentrations at birth. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort of 236 healthy pregnant women from various ethnicity in early pregnancy (≤20 weeks of pregnancy) was followed at la

Conventional cryptographic techniques are inappropriate for resource-constrained applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) domain because of their high resources requirement. This paper introduces a new Lightweight (LWT) hash function termed Lightweight New Mersenne Number Transform (LNMNT) Hash function, suitable for many IoT applications. The

Introduction: A simple and reliable high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the quantitative determination of pregabalin in bulk and dosage form. Pregabalin, a γ amino butyric acid analogue, has negligible sensitivity to UV or fluorescence detection. Hence, it has been derivatized by ninhydrin to form a chromophoric c

The deterioration of gait performance following stroke is related to the impairment of sensorimotor function on the paretic side. Improper gait performance in post-stroke with additional diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) on paretic and non-paretic legs may create destabilizing effects, including serious injuries and falls. Therefore, this study

The internet has become widely popular in this millenium era and it has evolved to become one of the vital needs in our personal and social life that leads to the improvement in individual quality of life. The role of urbanized parents is extremely imperative since children nowadays are using this technological advancement extensively. Hence, this

In this era of Internet of things, it allows billions of devices and applications to communicate and exchange information. The major issue of IoT applications is in the field of security. The lower level of IoT consists of sensors and actuators network. The main issue related with security of these devices is that these are very resource constraine

The efficacy of obturation with GuttaFlow Bioseal is not well documented due to the limited scientific evidence. Further evaluation in various aspects related to obturation is beneficial to provide further insight for future clinical application. This study aims to evaluate the volumetric percentage of obturated root canals, extrusion of material b

Phenol compounds are considered one of the major problems faced by many countries owing to their release in wastewaters from various industries. These pollutant compounds are harmful to marine life and human beings. Therefore, in the present study, Baobab Fruit Shells (BFS) were used as a precursor for the production of activated carbons for the re

Recently, starch-based bioplastics have been proposed to curb the problem caused by conventional plastics. Yet, current bioplastics aremade from food sources which cause competition with food industries. Hence, we have produced bioplastics using rotten starch-based material to tackle this problem. In this study, a comprehensive investigation has be
