K(+) channels play a vital homeostatic role in cells and abnormal activity of these channels can dramatically alter cell function and survival, suggesting that they might be attractive drug targets in pathogenic organisms. Pathogenic protozoa lead to diseases such as malaria, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis and dysentery that are responsible for millions of deaths each year worldwide. The genome...

Considering the difficulties in planar CMOS transistor scaling to secure an acceptable gate to channel control FinFET based multi-gate (MuGFET) devices have been proposed as a technology option for replacing the existing technology. The desirability of FinFET that it’s operation principle is same as CMOS process. This permits to lengthening the gate scaling beyond the planar transistor limits, ...

This letter presents a novel design for 3-D-printed circular waveguide dual-mode (CWDM) filter with modified cavity shape. The modification leads to wide spurious-free stopband, which is highly desirable channel separation in contiguous output multiplexers (OMUXs) satellite communication systems. new resonant result of applying shape deformation basic order move away and suppress parasitic mode...

In this present work, different Cross-Coupled Differential Drive (CCDD) CMOS bridge rectifiers are designed using either 32 nm or Tunnel-FET (TFET) technology. Commercial PDK has been used for the technology, while lookup tables (LUT) resulting from a physics model have applied TFET. To consider parasitic effects circuit performances, nm-based circuits laid out, included in TFET LUT implementat...

background: protozoa are common in poultry and otherbirds and can cause mild to severe disease. objectives: thisstudy was concerned with the prevalence of parasitic protozoa inwild waterfowl in caspian sea lagoons in the north of iran.methods:atotal of 293 waterfowl belonging to various generaincluding tadorna tadorna (common shelduck),aythya fuligula(tufted duck), aythya ferina (common puchard...

examination of faecal samples of 6,430 school children aged between 2 and 20 years, for gastrointestinal parasites using sedimentation and kato smear techniques was carried out in benin city, nigeria between january 1997 and december 1998. four thousand two hundred and thirty six (65.8%) were infected. three species of protozoa and 8 species of helminths were recorded as follows: entamoeba hist...

background: knowledge about the amphistomid fauna in iranian domestic ruminants depends on the studies conducted almost 30 years ago. the last situation in cattle is introduced here in the provinces in south coast of caspian sea. methods: amphistomid species were collected from cattle at slaughter houses of the provinces gilan and mazanderan in 2010. median sagittal sections were prepared by th...

background: helicobacter pylori is a common cause of chronic infection in human beings. the infection has universal prevalence and contracts all age groups. probably, these bacteria are the cause of the most common chronic bacterial infection in man and have infected approximately half of the world population. the urease of these bacteria degrades the urea in stomach’s mucosa to ammoniac which ...

This paper shows the influence of small coupled antenna arrays on the MIMO efficiency. Two different antenna models with varying antenna distances are investigated: dipoles and realistic terminal antennas. Two solutions to decouple the antennas are presented: 1) A parasitic element; 2) A hardware design of a matching network on a substrate which is the first implementation of a recent proposal ...

— IQ scores differ substantially across nations. This study argues that cross-country variations in IQ scores, to a large extent, reflect the burden of parasitic and infectious diseases (PIDs) and iron and iodine deficiency (IID) in infancy and in utero. Furthermore, it is shown that the prevalence of health insults, through the channel of cognitive ability, is influential for the level as well...
