Frequency and width crossing have been observed for two coupled resonances in a microwave cavity. The cavity consisted of two nearly identical rectangular boxes. The boxes were coupled by a slit of variable width. The data are well described by a non-Hermitean S matrix leading to a 2x2 non-Hermitean effective Hamiltonian. The values of the interaction strength |v| for which width crossing and frequency crossing, respectively, were observed, are above and below a critical value |v(c)| for which one expects a joint frequency and width crossing.

Background: To compare plateletcount (PC), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW)between women with preeclampsia (PE) and normotensive pregnant women, andevaluate their effectiveness as predictors of PE.
Research Design Andmethods: This cross-sectionalstudy at Nishtar Hospital, Multan, included 141 women: 74 normotensive and 67preeclamptic. Data was collected using an automated hematology analyzer andanalyzed with SPSS version 26 and ROC curves.

The swift advancement of contemporary communication technology, along with the development of radar systems, has raised the requirements for antenna systems. In this work, an integrated array antenna operating in the 24 GHz and 77 GHz frequency bands is proposed. The microstrip antenna array element uses a width reduction approach to reduce its volume by 39.

Liver ultrasound segmentation is challenging due to low image quality and variability. While deep learning (DL) models have been widely applied for medical segmentation, generic pre-configured models may not meet the specific requirements for targeted areas in liver ultrasound. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is emerging as a promising tool for liver fat measurement; however, accurately segmenting regions of interest within liver ultrasound images remains a challenge.

Background: Platelet factor 4 (PF4), a chemotactic factor secreted from the α-granules of platelets, has recently been proved to mitigate neuroinflammation and improve aging-related cognition decline, which may be involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Objective: This study aims to investigate the alterations of serum PF4 levels in AD, the correlation between serum PF4 and β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the potential diagnostic utility of PF4 in AD.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 38 amyloid-positive AD patients and 50 cognitively normal controls.

Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is one of the most serious viral diseases in cereal crops worldwide. Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlining wheat resistance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is essential for breeding BYDV-tolerant wheat cultivars. In this study, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was developed from the cross between Jagger (PI 593688) and a Jagger mutant (JagMut1095).
