In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a cost-effective wavelength converter utilising a highly nonlinear fibre (HNLF) and a tunable dual-wavelength fibre laser as the pump source. The proposed system uses only the pump source and a signal probe to generate a partially degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) effect. An FWM conversion efficiency of 12

Objectives: The objective of this study was to document the impact of an integrated TB directly observed therapy short-course (DOTS) plus smoking cessation intervention (SCI) on HRQoL. Methods: This was a non-randomized controlled study (quasi experimental design) involving 120 TB patients who were current smokers at the time of TB diagnosis. Patie

Open source projects mostly depend on user feedback to help improve the quality of the developed systems. Similar to other software products, the quality of open source products is related to the number of defects. Products with fewer defects are generally considered to possess higher quality than those with more. In the open source context, defect

Isolated biceps tendon rupture is rarely reported at primary care level. A 78-year-old man presented with deformity over his right mid arm for one week, following a low impact trauma over his right shoulder six weeks prior. Physical examination revealed the classical sign of rupture of the long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) which showed bulging of h

Decellularized tissues and organs have been intensively studied in order to use them as a scaffold for proliferation of recipient cells in tissue engineering/regenerative medicine applications. We established a fast and effective method for tissue decellularization by way of shaking a tissue in a detergent at 300 rpm. In addition, we developed a ri

On March 11th 2011, the whole world was taken aback by another tragic experience of Tsunami triggered by a magnitude 9.8 earthquake in Japan. Just few days after that, on March 25th 2011, another earthquake of magnitude 6.8 hit Myanmar deaths and destructions. Despite the loss incurred on properties and human being, available data show that relativ

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)for Arabic word has been developed in this work. The system has the ability to recognize word that is uttered the speaker. In this paper, an approach using support vector machines (SVMs) for identifying Arabic word based on the speaker speech is proposed. The proposed SVMs based Automatic Speech Recognition system

The comparism of the dark adaptation and plasma retinol level (Vitamin A) was a potentially useful method of studying the basic nature of the aging process in vision. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of age upon the dark adaptation time and plasma retinol level. Dark adaptation time, visual fields and plasma retinol levels were
