Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world. If left untreated, ID will lead to iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and other irreversible consequences. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended reticulocyte hemoglobin content (Ret-He) as an alternative laboratory examination to screen and detect ID. We aimed to compare Ret-He with other laboratory pa...

objective: to investigate the clinical advantage of several prognostic factors for predicting preterm delivery. materials and methods: eighty and six patients with a singleton pregnancy admitted to vali-asr hospital underwent genetic amniocentesis between the 15th and 23th weeks were included in this study. maternal serum c-reactive protein (crp), transvaginal sonographic measurement of cervica...

we study entanglement and squeezing of a cluster of spin systems under the influence of the two-axis countertwisting hamiltonian. the squeezing parameters given by wineland et al and also by kitagawa et al. are chosen as the criteria of spin squeezing. the criterion of pairwise entanglement is chosen to be the concurrence and that of the bipartite entanglement the linear entropy. we also define...

Parameterized systems verification is a long-standing problem, where the challenge is to verify that a property holds for all (infinite) instances of the parameterized system. Existing techniques aim to reduce this problem to checking the properties on smaller systems with a bound on the parameter referred to as the "cut-off " such that if the property holds for system instances of size cut-off...

Background: Brucellosis is a world-wide disease, which has a diverse clinical manifestation, and its diagnosis has to be proven by laboratory data. Serum agglutination test (SAT) is the most-widely used test for diagnosing brucellosis. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can also determine specific antibody classes against brucella. It is a sensitive, simple and rapid test, which coul...

The immense demand for communication systems worldwide has created an enormous market for semiconductors devices (SiGe HBTs) in variegated applications. Nowadays SiGe HBTs are surpassing even the fastest III-V production devices in the GHz speed orbit. Scaling has been the prime source of supremacy behind the successful technology innovations. The design and optimization of un-scaled and scaled...

In this paper, we have examined the effect of parameter variation on the electrical characteristics of a device. The rate of change in the electrical parameters such as cut off frequency, breakdown voltage and drain saturation current as a function of the process parameters is investigated Keywords—LDMOS, Process Parameters, characteristics, parameter variation.
