Q FACTOR ENHANCEMENT OF OPEN 2D RESONATORS BY OPTIMAL PLACEMENT OF A THIN METALLIC ROD IN FRONT OF THE LONGITUDINAL SLOT

Q Factor Enhancement of Open 2D Resonators by Optimal Placement of a Thin Metallic Rod in Front of the Longitudinal Slot

A rigorous approach was employed for the accurate evaluation of the electromagnetic interaction between a thin metallic rod and a two-dimensional (2D) slotted cavity.The problem was posed as a classical boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation in which a 2D slotted open cavity is bounded by an arbitrary but otherwise smooth contour with a

Comorbidity of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Sickle Cell Disease Exert Significant Effect on RBC Indices

Background.Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) converts glucose-6-phosphate into 6-phosphogluconate in the pentose phosphate pathway and protects red blood cells (RBCs) from oxidative damage.Their deficiency therefore makes RBCs prone to haemolysis.Sickle cell disease (SCD) on the other hand is a hereditary blood disorder in which there is a s

Occurrence of Escherichia coli carrying Shiga toxin-producing genes in buffaloes on smallholdings in Bangladesh

Background and Aim: Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) has emerged as significant foodborne pathogens.Ruminants are the primary reservoir of the zoonotic STEC.In Bangladesh, previous studies reported the presence of STEC in cattle, goat, and sheep; however, there is little information about STEC carriage by buffaloes.This study aimed to
