This paper presents a flexible monopole antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide (CPW) feeding line with a barium titanate (BaTiO3) silicon-elastomer impedance matching layer for microwave head imaging applications. The operating frequency bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 614 MHz which is from 0.475 GHz to 1.089 GHz. In biomedical microwave sensing

In the present paper we shall consider countable state p -adic Potts model on Z . A main aim is to establish the existence of the phase transition for the model. In our study, we essentially use one dimensionality of the model. The existence of the phase transition is reduced to the investigation of an infinitedimensional nonlinear equation. We

Femtocell network is a new technology that uses the advantage of an Internet backbone to enhance the cellular coverage in residential or small business areas. However, due to the expected random deployment of the femtocell access point (FAPs), there is a strong probability of interference among the femtocell nodes and between the femtocells and the

Identification of marine sand-dwelling species is important due to the toxin-producing abilities of some species that may harm human beings. In this study, sand samples were collected for 12 months at Dinawan Island, Sabah. Samples were identified using light microscopy (LM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Sixteen dinoflagellates species ha

A novel design is proposed for a I-Gbps Impulse Radio lJltra Wideband (IR-lJWB) pulse generator. The generated pulse is not just suitable for solving the problem of UWB interference with Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) 802.11a and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) systems, but it has no interference on any narrowband system

A novel design of 4-Gbps and 6-Gbps Impulse Radio Ultra Wide band (IR-UWB) pulse generator for short range wireless communication is presented. The simple structure of the proposed pulse generator helps to overcome the limitations of generating the two high speeds, the pulse generator based on two synchronized sources of 2GHz only. The pulse genera

Pyogenic granuloma develops as a mucosal reaction response to repeated trauma which can be a physical trauma or chronic infection in origin. In the oral cavity, pyogenic granulomas commonly occur on the gingiva owing to presence of chronic irritation by the calculus or foreign material in the gingival sulcus (Akyol et al., 2001). Tongue is relative

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, elicited by a complex mixture of anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria that result in the destruction of the supporting structures of the dentition (Pihlstrom et al, 2005). This disease affects the majority of population (Brown et al, 1996) and the periodontal tooth mortality was reported by Ong, 1998 to

Kegel exercises can strengthen the muscles around the vagina and increase women’s ability to control and relax these muscles completely. Kegels are often encouraged along with counseling and sex therapy, as a helpful treatment for persistent problems with reaching orgasm. Stress incontinence may develop when urine is released during lifting, snee

Breastfeeding, when practiced in a specific way, can be used to prolong the period of post-partum infertility. However, there are still chances to get pregnant if certain criteria of Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) were not met. Nursing mothers need to ensure the birth control they choose is safe for the mother and the baby. A cross-sectional s
