Computed Tomography Scanning for Sternal Wound Infections: A Systematic Review.

Background: Sternal wound infection (SWI) has always been a significant risk in patients who undergo sternotomies as part of their cardiac surgical procedures. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is often used to diagnose and assess sternal wound infections. Its purpose includes identifying and locating infection and any sternal dehiscence.

Investigation of Resistance Genes in Genus Reveals Highly Variable NLRome in Parallel Domesticated Member Species.

is a unique genus that consist of multiple crop species that are domesticated in parallel fashion between 7-10 thousand years ago. Here we studied the evolution of nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat receptor (NLR) genes across five crop species of genus . In total identified 286, 350, 234, 250, 108 and 161 NLR genes were from , , , , and respectively.

Horizontal Polarized DC Grounded Omnidirectional Antenna for UAV Ground Control Station.

A new slot-based antenna design capable of producing horizontal polarization for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ground control station (GCS) applications is outlined in this paper. The proposed antenna consists of oversize coaxial cylinders, slots, and slot-feed assembly. Each of the four vertical slots, arranged periodically around the antenna's outer cylinder, emits a horizontally polarized broad beam of radiation, in phase, to produce an omnidirectional pattern.

Core-Shell Nano-Antenna Configurations for Array Formation with More Stability Having Conventional and Non-Conventional Directivity and Propagation Behavior.

The enhancement of optical characteristics at optical frequencies deviates with the choice of the arrangement of core-shell nanoparticles and their environment. Likewise, the arrangements of core-shell nanoparticles in the air over a substrate or in liquid solution makes them unstable in the atmosphere. This article suggests designing a configuration of an active spherical coated nanoparticle antenna and its extended array in the presence of a passive dielectric, which is proposed to be extendable to construct larger arrays.
