Multi-band antennas are becoming vital for wireless systems. This paper proposes a tri-band microstrip patch antenna using slots with h-shaped. The operating frequencies cover the GSM900, DCS1800 and the 2.4 GHz bands. The optimization of the antenna dimensions was obtained by using available tools in the CST microwave studio software. A prototype

Introduction: One major challenge to achieving optimal patient outcome in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is the development of effective dosing strategies in this critically ill patient population. Suboptimal drug dosing impacts on patient outcome as patients on ECMO often require reversal of the underlying pathology with effective phar

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is an analytical technique that measures the mass of a sample through “soft” ionization. Recent years have witnessed a rapid growth of its application in noble-metal nanocluster (NC) analysis. ESI-MS is able to provide the mass of a noble-metal NC analyte for the analysis of their composition (

The implementation of the RFID technology in traffic monitoring is important for the intelligent transportation system. However, one of the problems that face this technology is tag collisions which are due to simultaneous tag responses to the reader. This paper investigates the performance of two known anti-collisions protocols: the Basic Framed S

In November 2013, Dr Dohar Tobing, who was the President of the ASEAN Orthopaedic Association at that time, organized a Seminar on Orthopaedic Education in Yogyakarta to discuss residency training in ASEAN. At this initial meeting the training program in each country was presented by representatives from each ASEAN country. Subsequently the ASEAN O

Newly developed live-attenuated protease derivative from pathogenic Vibrio harveyis train Vh1 as a live vaccine to against Vibriosis of aquatic animals. In the current study, we used the gnotobiotic A. salina as model to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the live-attenuated. This study was conducted by bacterial safety experiment and bacterial ef

Objective: This paper is a report of a review to identify relevant literature and to summarize the effectiveness of perceived social support on quality of life in patients while waiting for CABG surgery. Background: Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common leading causes of death in the world and the most common treatment is CABG surgery. P

In the last two decades, Tunisia has witnessed a sharp increase in the number of vehicle users which gave rise to higher road traffic noise levels especially in urban areas. This type of noise causes adverse effect on humans, such as sleeping disorder, annoyance, hearing disorder, etc. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate traffic noise levels in po

Introduction: Depression is a common mental disorder among the general population. According to WHO, people with depression is experiencing boredom in things they usually enjoy, loss of capability in self-care and have long standing period of sadness?

The prevalence of Class III malocclusion is greater in Asian populations, with an estimated 17% reported in Malaysian population. Traditionally, orthodontics-first approach, which involves comprehensive orthodontic treatment to align the dental arch and incisor decompensation, followed by orthognathic surgery has been the mainstay of skeletal Class
