BACKGROUND Maternal obesity has been linked to offspring asthma; however, other allergy-related diseases, as well as the association beyond early school age, are largely unstudied. OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between maternal body mass index (BMI) in pregnancy and offspring asthma, rhinitis, eczema and sensitization up to 16 years of age. METHODS A total of 3294 children from the ...

Development of energy harvesting and wireless power transfer have emerged batteryless and non-contact energy transfer. For optimum power transfer between antenna and the rectifier circuit, impedance of the antenna and rectifier should be match. This paper describes the design and implementation of the 7-stage multiplier in energy harvesting. A Modified dickson configuration is chosen, consists ...

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is a condition that indicates a benign inner ear disorder. It is generally believed that BPPV is due to the dislodged otoconial particles from otolith organs and unusual collection of them within any of semicircular canals or even in all three semicircular canals. Although the typical features of nystagmus in BPPV have been well-studied, very few stud...

The chemical composition and spectra of untreated heat-treated rubies from Mozambique Madagascar were analyzed by an electron probe microscopy analysis, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma quadrupole mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy UV-visible spectroscopy. Due to the different content Fe inclusions, belong alkaline basalt deposit, while amphi...

A compact cryogenic calibration target is presented that has a peak diffuse reflectance, R ⩽ 0.003, from 800 to 4800 cm(-1) (12 - 2 μm). Upon expanding the spectral range under consideration to 400-10,000 cm(-1) (25 - 1 μm) the observed performance gracefully degrades to R ⩽ 0.02 at the band edges. In the implementation described, a high-thermal-conductivity metallic substrate is textured with ...
