A new multiple C-slotted microstrip patch antenna is proposed in the present study. A patch antenna is a wide-beam narrowband antenna. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a very thin metallic strip (patch) placed a small fraction of a wavelength above a ground plane. The patch can be designed in any possible shape and normally made of conducting materials such as copper or gold. This study...

BACKGROUND This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between serum albumin and plasma concentration of haemostatic factors and the effect of raising serum albumin on haemostatic factors synthesized in the liver in CAPD patients. METHODS We measured blood levels of albumin, fibrinogen, factor II, factor VII, protein C, free protein S, plasminogen, alpha2-antiplasmin and antithrombi...

Schistosomes, parasitic flatworms that cause the tropical disease schistosomiasis, are still a threat. They are responsible for 200 million infections worldwide and an estimated 280,000 deaths annually in sub-Saharan Africa alone. The adult parasites reside as pairs in the mesenteric or perivesicular veins of their human host, where they can survive for up to 30 years. The parasite is a potenti...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to present the main - surgical and non-surgical - therapeutic approaches (or methods) used in the treatment of pelvic bleeding of neoplastic origin. MATERIALS AND METHODS analysis of the materials found in the literature on this subject. RESULTS Among the surgical methods used, hypogastric artery ligation is the oldest therapeutic approach in cervical ble...

Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin disease due to contact with different substances and caused by two mechanisms: Allergy and irritation. Contact dermatitis is a common skin disease and the most common occupational dermatosis. Differentiating between allergic and irritant contact dermatitis is essential in the identification of etiologic factor(s) and hence, its control and prognosis. T...

the effect of a distributed patch mass on the natural frequency of vibration of a laminated rectangular plate with simply supported boundaries is investigated. the third order displacement field of a composite laminated rectangular plate is defined using the two variable refined plate theory. equations of motion of the plate are obtained with the help of calculus of variation. parametric study ...
