Examining the quantum fisher information in the interaction of a dirac system with a squeezed generalized amplitude damping channel.

The inherent association between real quantum systems and their surrounding environment invariably results in decoherence, leading to the loss of entanglement. This diminution in entanglement coincides with a decline in the fidelity of transmitted information using the entangled quantum resource. This study scrutinizes the impact of the squeezed generalized amplitude damping (SGAD) channel on quantum Fisher information (QFI) parameters.

The outcome of 12-week corticosteroid therapy in COVID-19-related diffuse interstitial lung abnormalities.

Introduction: The efficacy of long-course corticosteroid therapy in treating COVID-19-related diffuse interstitial lung abnormalities (DILA) needs to be better understood. We aimed to investigate the benefits of 12-week corticosteroid treatment in COVID-19-related DILA by evaluating computed tomography (CT) lung severity scores.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective, single-centre observational study included patients aged 18 years or older admitted with moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia who received 12 weeks of oral prednisolone between January 2021 and December 2021.

Engine performance and emissions evaluation of surfactant-free B30 biodiesel-diesel/water emulsion as alternative fuel.

Malaysia is one of the top exporters of palm oil, and although currently facing fierce resistance towards palm oil imports in some parts of the globe, one of the ways to utilize this commodity is by increasing palm biodiesel content in local commercial diesel. However, due to the oxygen-rich nature of biodiesel, its utilization suffers from increased nitrogen oxides (NO) emission compared to conventional diesel. To mitigate this issue and improve diesel engine performance and emissions using biodiesel-diesel blends, this study attempted to investigate implementation of a real-time non-surfactant emulsion fuel supply system (RTES) which produces water-in-diesel emulsion as fuel without surfactants.

Qualitative electroencephalogram and its predictors in the diagnosis of stroke.

Introduction: Stroke is a typical medical emergency that carries significant disability and morbidity. The diagnosis of stroke relies predominantly on the use of neuroimaging. Accurate diagnosis is pertinent for management decisions of thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy.

Determinants and spatial patterns of anaemia and haemoglobin concentration among pregnant women in Nigeria using structured additive regression models.

Anaemia which is a condition that describes low haemoglobin (Hb) levels has been recognized as a major public health problem amongst pregnant women in many sub-Saharan African countries including Nigeria. The causes of maternal anaemia which are interconnected and complex vary between countries and can vary within a country. This study aimed to investigate the spatial pattern and identify demographic and socio-economic determinants associated with anaemia amongst Nigerian pregnant women aged 15-49 years using data from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS).
