In this paper we present analytical performance Apparel evaluation of a dual-hop OFDM amplify-andforward (AF) variable gain (VG) relay system implementing ordered subcarrier mapping (SCM) at the relay station (R), considered to be a very interesting solution for the next generation mobile cellular networks.A scenario with no direct communication be
Coronavirus genomes carry the signatures of their habitats.
Coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 regularly infect host tissues that express antiviral proteins (AVPs) in abundance.Understanding how they evolve to adapt or evade host immune responses is important in the effort to control the spread of infection.Two AVPs that may shape viral genomes are the zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) and the apolipoprotei
In vitro study of the effect of an essential oil and a delmopinol mouth rinse on dental plaque bacteria
Context: Mouthrinses are used, by many of our Construction patients, as a complement to daily dental hygiene routine.The use of a toothbrush and an interproximal cleaning method may not be enough to control dental plaque.Essential oils and delmopinol mouth rinses are effective for the prevention of dental caries and gingivitis.To study the effect o
The Human SLC7A5 (LAT1): The Intriguing Histidine/Large Neutral Amino Acid Transporter and Its Relevance to Human Health
SLC7A5, known as LAT1, belongs to the APC superfamily and forms a heterodimeric amino acid transporter interacting with the glycoprotein CD98 (SLC3A2) through a conserved disulfide.The complex is responsible for uptake of essential amino acids in crucial body districts such as placenta and blood brain barrier.LAT1/CD98 heterodimer has been studied
Community intervention programmes with people affected by leprosy: Listening to the voice of professionals.
BackgroundCommunity participation and implementing interventions based on the community are key strategies to eliminate leprosy.Health professionals have an essential role as they are a necessary source of information because of their knowledge and experience, as well as their comprehensive perspective of contexts included in the programmes.This st
