In a wireless network, blocking probability of connection-oriented traffic depends on the transmission radius of the nodes and the channel assignment scheme. In this work we study these two aspects for simple wireless networks. Specifically, we present blocking probability analysis for a wireless line network with random channel allocation to the incoming calls. Based on the expressions derived...

Transmission-blocking interventions aim to reduce the prevalence of infection in endemic communities by targeting Plasmodium within the insect host. Although many studies have reported the successful reduction of infection in the mosquito vector, direct evidence that there is an onward reduction in infection in the vertebrate host is lacking. Here we report the first experiments using a populat...

The study's objective was to investigate the antibody responses and fetal maternal adverse effects of Sinopharm vaccine. A prospective study conducted in Gynaecology Department LUMHS Hospital Jamshoro, Hyderabad, Multan DG Khan from January 2021 2022. total 90 women were included who administered Sinopharm. 3/90 (3.3%) received shots 1st trimester, 56/90 (62%) 2nd trimester 31/90 (34%) 3rd trim...

While recent progress has been made in reducing malaria mortality with other interventions, vaccines are still urgently needed to further reduce the incidence of clinical disease, including during pregnancy, and to provide "herd protection" by blocking parasite transmission. The most clinically advanced candidate, RTS,S, is presently undergoing Phase 3 evaluation in young African children acros...
