Background Since last 100 years, immunization rate is one of the best public health outcome and service indicators. However, the immunization system is still imperfect; there are many countries that still have unvaccinated children. Parental decisions regarding immunization are very important to improve immunization rate. The aim of this study is t

Background: Amebic liver abscess (ALA) is endemic in Bangladesh since historical age but its epidemiology and sociodemographic determinants are not well described in the literatures. This paper focuses on the endemicity, sociodemographic determinants and clinical outcomes of ALA patients from certain northern districts in Bangladesh. Ninety hospita

The salivary gland secretion of the haematophagous animals, leeches, has attracted the attention of therapists since the extreme old ages due to its wide range of medical properties. Thus, many researches have been done to develop and optimize new methods to collect leech saliva with high quality and quantity. In the present study, we aimed to eval

The enhancement of channel access mechanism assures to provide Quality of Service (QoS) using the service differentiation mechanism over WLAN in IEEE802.11e. The service differentiation scheme is used in the Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) MAC layer protocol and this protocol is used the random back-off window algorithm to provide QoS fo

Purpose: To isolate and characterize the antithrombin compounds of Malaysian leeches’ saliva collection (LSC) for use as anticoagulant proteins and peptides. Method: Reversed phase - high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used to isolate all proteins from LSC. All isolated proteins were tested for anticoagulant activity by applying

This paper introduces new methods of how to generate a suitable key-dependent substitution boxes (Sboxes) for use in lightweight block ciphers. An S-box is commonly used in block ciphers to provide the crucial property of nonlinearity. And one of the advantages of using key-dependent S-boxes is that it is difficult for an attacker to perform attack

Nowadays wastewater treatment plants are producing huge amount of sludge. The water content of the traditionally dewatered sludge, resulting from drying beds, centrifuges, vacuum filters, screw press filters and pressure filters, remains a critical factor affecting the choice of transportation vehicles, transportation costs, and suitability of slud

Breast cancer is among of the frequently diagnosed cancer and major of death in the most of country in the world. These led to the necessity for the development of potential chemotherapeutic agents against breast cancer cells with novel mechanisms of actions. The plant-derived triterpeniods commonly used due to its ability to exhibit cytotoxicity a

LTE-Advanced provides considerably higher data rates than the early releases of LTE. The carrier aggregation CA) technology allows scalable expansion of effective bandwidth provided to user equipment (UE) through simultaneous utilization of radio resources across multiple carriers. In this paper we propose a new packet scheduling (PS) criterion alg

This paper presents a design for a Bioimpedance spectroscopy system on an FPGA board for characterization of cancer cells. The proposed hardware uses a digital auto balance bridge implemented in Verilog. Using an FPGA allows the system to be designed to have a multichannel signal acquisition from two or more sources, and to be smaller than commerci
