Capacity is one fundamental problem in wireless Ad hoc networks. Deploying directional antennas to wireless networks can reduce interference among concurrent transmissions and increase spatial reuse, while the technology of multi-channel can separate concurrent transmissions. Therefore, combining these two technologies into one wireless network is capable of great improvement on the network cap...

The paper presents a new closed-form expression for the fractional Fourier transform of generalized Triangular and Welch window functions. Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) is a parameterized transform having an adjustable transform parameter which makes it more flexible and superior over ordinary Fourier transform in several applications. It is an important tool used in signal processing for...

1 of 3 DESCRIPTION A 70-year-old man with mediastinal lymphadenopathy was referred to our centre for endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration. During the bronchoscopic examination, two separate anatomical bronchial variances were observed: a supernumerary ‘true’ tracheal bronchus branching off from the distal right lateral wall of the trachea ( fi gure 1A ) and a displaced...

The concept of placing enormous Solar Power Satellite (SPS) systems in space represents one of a handful of new technological options that might provide large scale, environmentally clean base load power to terrestrial markets. Recent advances in space exploration have shown a great need for antennas with high resolution, high gain and low side lobe level (SLL). The last characteristic is of pa...

Short-range car radar systems can provide safety and comfort features such as parking aid, pre-crash warning, change lane assistant, etc. These radar systems create a safety belt around the car using transmission of ultra wideband (UWB) 24 GHz signals. Regulations limit the level of radiation at certain elevation angles to avoid interference or disturbance in the 24 GHz band. The specific goal ...

A Golgi-associated bi-lobed structure was previously found to be important for Golgi duplication and cell division in Trypanosoma brucei. To further understand its functions, comparative proteomics was performed on extracted flagellar complexes (including the flagellum and flagellum-associated structures such as the basal bodies and the bi-lobe) and purified flagella to identify new bi-lobe pro...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate systematically shape and positioning of the hippocampal formation (HF) in patients with partial epilepsy related to malformations of cortical development (MCD) and those with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). We studied 76 patients with MCD, including focal cortical dysplasia (n = 29; lesions located outside the temporal lobe in all), heterotopia (lesions o...

Digital filter plays an important role in digital signal processing applications. Digital filter can also be applied in speech processing applications, such as speech filtering, speech enhancement, noise reduction and automatic speech recognition among others. In this paper Matlab program is used to implement a low-pass FIR filter using adjustable window function based on Hamming window. In som...

A 70-year-old man presented with slow gait and a clumsy hand on the right side. Neurological examination revealed dystonia ideomotor apraxia in hand. mask-like face, rigidity arm, shuffling were noticed. Treatment L-dopa had no effect. He was clinically diagnosed corticobasal syndrome (CBS). Susceptibility-weighted images of brain magnetic resonance imaging showed low-intensity areas surface ce...

OBJECTIVES To report a new phenotype of advanced endemic goiter that affects only one lobe of the thyroid gland. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 60 patients from the west of Sudan with long-standing unilateral simple endemic goiter that required obectomy, with emphasis on the gross appearance, measurements and cytological features of the contralateral lobe. RESULTS Out of 60 patien...
