Worldwide interoperability of microwave access (WiMAX) is most often associated with the point-to-multipoint (PMP) topology. For some requirements, the configuration of the base stations (BSs) is aimed to be as mesh. Mesh offers a combination of point-to-point and point-to-multipoint capability by having each of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 22 Mar 2019 · 7,972 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification of Cancer: Mesothelioma’s Disease Using Logistic Regression and Association RuleAvishek ChoudhuryMalignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) or malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an atypical, aggressive tumor that matures into cancer in the pleura, a stratum of tissue bordering the lungs. Diagnosis of MPM is difficult and it accounts for about seventy-five percent of all mesothelioma diagnosed yearly in the United States of America. Being a fatal disease, early identification of MPM is crucial … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 7 Dec 2018 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite

This task, known as mesh generation or domain-discretization, is no more trivial if domains of real or industrial … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2017 · 7,849 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Glucocorticoids on Trabecular Meshwork and its Role in GlaucomaAlina GenisPrimary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), an optic neuropathy that is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, has been studied extensively in hopes of better understanding its underlying mechanism. Glucocorticoids (GC) are commonly used to treat inflammatory ocular conditions but are also known to increase the risk of glaucoma by raising Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in susceptible individuals, leading to steroid-induced glaucoma.

Kareem, Inaam H. Ali, M. G. JalhoomThree Mesoporous Silica (MPS) with different functional groups were prepared by one-step synthesis based on the simultaneous hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxy silane with organo-silane in the presence of template surfactant Polydimethylsiloxane-Polyethyleneoxide (PDMS-PEO). The prepared materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments. The results indicate that the preparation of methyl and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2014 · 7,287 accessesView PDFCite
