We present a study of the radio emission of the Centaurus region at galactic latitudes 2◦ ≤ b ≤ 18◦, using preexisting 408 MHz continuum data and results of new 1.42 GHz continuum and neutral hydrogen line observations. It is shown that the extensive spur-like radio feature visible in this region has a non-thermal nature and is actually formed by several previously unidentified individual sourc...

A 56-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with jaundice, massive ascites, hepatic encephalopathy and an intramuscular hematoma. She had severe liver dysfunction with a total bilirubin level of 9.0 mg/dL, indirect bilirubin level of 6.9 mg/dL, albumin level of 2.8 g/dL and prothrombin ratio of 43%. Her hemoglobin level was 6.8 g/dL, and a peripheral blood smear showed the presence of a la...

This study aims to employ a nature inspired algorithm Particle Swarm (PS) to seek minimum center distance for desired life of a compact spur gear set to tranulsmit a given power satisfying a number of constraints imposed. The PS, which is relatively recent heuristic search technique, imitates social behavior of birds flocking by sharing information among their members in multiple dimensions in ...

This paper presents a new scheme for mobile identification and registration in UMTS networks. Our approach attempts to alleviate different limitations observed with the current solutions (such as the 3GPP). It guarantees the protection of the data transmitted on the SIP messages during the registration procedure. Our method provides the authentication of the main entities involved in the regist...

This letter introduces a novel phase detector (PD) for suppressing the reference spur in 40 GHz integer- $N$ phase-locked loop (PLL). Coined as spur-compensation (SCPD), proposed SCPD duplicates itself to an auxiliary path edge-combin...
