Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) designates the electromagnetic power density deposited per unit mass of biological tissues. This paper presents a new approach where SAR calculation for mobile phones is based on a parametric reconstruction of the E-field distribution in the phantom to assess rapid SAR measurements, by means of an ellipsoidal model. The estimation of its parameters is achieved by ...

The objective of this study was to establish a primary culture of omasal epithelial cells (OECs) derived from dairy calves and to characterize its function in small peptide absorption. Bovine omasal tissues were obtained from newborn Chinese Holstein calves and digested with a 2.5% trypsin solution to obtain OECs. The isolated cells were later cultured in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum,...

The agriculture sector of Pakistan mainly depends on freshwater from groundwater resources. Deterioration these resources adversely affected crop yields due to climate change and human activities. A comprehensive study was conducted evaluate the quality varying boring depths possible effects yield cotton in Tehsil Fort Abbas, District Bahawalnagar, Punjab, Pakistan. total 347 samples were colle...

We present an optical to near-infrared transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-1b, based on Hubble Space Telescope observations, covering the spectral regime from 0.29 to 1.027μm with Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), which is coupled with a recent Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) transit (1.087 to 1.687μm). We derive refined physical parameters of the HAT-P-1 system, including an i...

In this paper, the reuse of reclaimed wastewater for irrigation of agricultural land and its effect on soil quality has been investigated in an arid region of Iran. For this purpose, two pilots of 2,000 m2 area with a variety of plants were selected near the effluent discharge of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Zahedan and Zabol cities in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. The wastewater t...

Eight five-month-old male lambs received a diet with marginal levels of sodium (0.5 g Na/kg DM); four lambs were given a single dose of infective Haemonchus contortus larvae (4,600 L3/ head) and four were kept uninfected. The lambs were slaughtered 30 days after the infection. Sodium concentration was determined in the abomasal fluid at the slaughter. The balance between intake and faecal excre...

Edge detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images has been a challenging task due to the speckle noise. Ratio-based edge detectors are robust operators for SAR images that provide constant false alarm rates, but they are only optimal for step edges. Edge detectors developed by the phase congruency model provide the identification of different types of edge features, but they suffer from s...

Mass transfer rates kL of single carbon-dioxide bubbles with chemical absorption in a vertical pipe were investigated using aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions. The pH the solution was varied from 12 to 13.15. diameter D 12.5 mm. bubble d for 0.4 < d/D 1.4 cover various shapes. enhancement factor, E, which is ratio and without absorption, almost unity 12.25. Then E increased increasing > Its mag...

We present an optical to near-infrared transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-1b, based on HST observations, covering the spectral regime from 0.29 to 1.027μm with STIS, which is coupled with a recent WFC3 transit (1.087 to 1.687μm). We derive refined physical parameters of the HAT-P-1 system, including an improved orbital ephemeris. The transmission spectrum shows a strong absorption s...

Abstract Population, salinity, and increasing water consumption have caused high pressure on groundwater resources in Iran. The study reported here investigates the change of quality Zrebar lake basin relationship between it with land-use precipitation rate from 1992 to 2018. To achieve intended goal, chemical parameters wells around lake, bicarbonate (HCO 3− ), sulfate (SO 4 sodium absorption ...
