DESIGN AND APPLICATION OF CIRCULAR EDGE-FED LINEARLY POLARIZED PATCH ANTENNA WITH ENHANCED BANDWIDTH AND GAIN FOR RESPIRATORY MONITORING SYSTEMS

This Master\u27s thesis explores the design and application of a circular edge-fed patch antenna for respiratory monitoring systems. The antenna, fabricated from a thin copper adhesive sheet, demonstrates compatibility with textile materials of low thickness and a relative permittivity of 1.3. Using CST Studio Suite 3D EM simulation software, the antenna\u27s design was optimized through extensive trials, achieving improved bandwidth and gain. Our findings indicate that the antenna successfully differentiates between various breathing patterns, including slow, normal, and fast breathing rates. The study\u27s managerial and research implications extend to healthcare, wearable technology sectors, and the broader scientific community. The research not only presents novel insights within the field of antenna design for respiratory monitoring but also establishes a robust foundation for future exploration in this domain

The Relationship Between the Size of Regulatory Outputs and Regulatory Taskspracticed by the Jordanian Audit Bureau and the Achieved Affluence of the State’s Public TreasuryThrough the Bureau’s Efforts

This study generally aimed to investigate the relationship between the size of regulatory outputs and the control tasks performed by the Jordanian Audit Bureau and  the achieved affluence of the state’s public treasury through the Bureau’s efforts. In order to accomplish the objective of this study, the researcher conducted an analytical study adopting the descriptive analytical approach. That was done through the use of the Audit Bureau’s data and reports reguarding the size of clarifications, control books, previous auditing on the spending documents, subsequent audit of accounts, participation with committees, and the affluence accomplished during the period (2008-2014). All of which were presented in the Bureau’s reports during the period (2008-2014), where the statistical analysis of the independent variable’s relationship with the dependent variable in connection with the realized affluence. The results of the study have shown the lack of a statistically significant relationship between each of the clarifications, controlbooks, review memos and subsequent audit, participation committees, with the abundance achieved through the Bureau’s efforts. On the other hand, the findings of the study concluded the presence of a statistically significant relationship between each of the previous audit on spending documents and the profusion achieved through the Bureau’s efforts. Keywords:Audit Bureau,The affluence achieved, Clarifications and control books,Previous control,Subsequent audit of accounts,committees

Structure of a model one-dimensional liquid He-3-He-4 mixture

We study the ground state properties of a one-dimensional liquid He-3-He-4 mixture interacting via a hard-core repulsive potential at zero temperature. We use the self-consistent field approach to calculate the ground state partial structure factors, the effective interactions between the species, and collective modes. Our results are in qualitative agreement with more sophisticated approaches

Multifunctional Nanoparticles for Imaging Guided Interventions

We describe multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) encapsulated in thermosensitive, drug-bearing shells and delivered to the tumor site by genetically modified and non-pathogenic strains of bacteria with known affinity to tumors for an effective and minimally invasive protocol for tumor management. The magnetic nanoparticles also serve as a non-invasive imaging contrast agent, heating agent as well as thermometry monitoring agents. We have shown an efficient tumor management on a mouse model utilizing the MNPs. Our studies showed that these novel MNPs significantly reduce the progress of tumor and prolong the animal life and function as an imaging contrast to visually monitor the tumor treatment and evolution

Seagrass as a Bioindicator for Heavy Metal Pollution in Semi-Enclosed Marine Ecosystems

This study delves into utilizing Seagrass as a bioindicator for heavy metal detection in semi-enclosed marine ecosystems, with a specific focus on the Jordanian coast of the Gulf of Aqaba. The research evaluates the relationship between human activities and the responses of marine organisms, employing the seagrass species Halophila stipulacea as a key subject. This research examines the ability of seagrass to sense and respond to environmental changes, particularly in terms of trace metal accumulation. These accumulations serve as indicators of the marine environment's health and the extent of human impact. Observations revealed differences in trace metal concentrations across three distinct habitats. Notably, varying levels of Cadmium (Cd) and Chromium (Cr) were found in seagrass leaves, while Copper (Cu) and Iron (Fe) were more prevalent in roots. Increased concentrations of Malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of environmental stress as indicated by lipid peroxidation (LPO), point to a potential link between human activities, such as boating, and the health of seagrass. These findings underscore the complex interactions between marine biology, environmental management, and the innate abilities of organisms to perceive and adapt to changes in their environment. The study bridges the gap in understanding organismal responses to environmental changes and emphasizes the need for ongoing research. Such research is crucial to comprehend the broader effects of environmental shifts on marine life. By continuously monitoring trace metal levels and understanding the responses of seagrass over time, this study lays the groundwork for innovative conservation and management strategies. These strategies are aimed at protecting vital marine environments from the growing impacts of human disturbances

Acute abdomen caused by bladder rupture attributable to neurogenic bladder dysfunction following a stroke: a case report.

INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare and serious event with high mortality. It is not often considered in the patient presenting with peritonitis. This often leads to delays in diagnosis. There are very few case reports of true spontaneous rupture in the literature. This is the first such reported case in which bladder rupture was attributable to neurogenic bladder dysfunction following a stroke. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 67-year-old Caucasian man who presented with lower abdominal pain and a peritonitic abdomen. He had a long-term urethral catheter because of urinary retention following a previous stroke. He was treated conservatively with antibiotics before a surgical opinion was sought. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of spontaneous bladder rupture. After repair of the defect, he eventually made a full recovery. CONCLUSION: In this unusual case report, we describe an example of a serious event in which delays in diagnosis may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. To date, no unifying theory explaining why rupture occurs has been postulated. We conducted a thorough literature search to examine the etiological factors in other published cases. These etiological factors either increase intra-vesical pressure or decrease the strength of the bladder wall. We hope that by increasing awareness of these etiological factors, spontaneous bladder rupture may be diagnosed earlier and appropriate therapy started

Model two-dimensional liquid 3He-4He mixture within the self-consistent field approximation

In this paper we use the self-consistent scheme proposed by Singwi, Tosi, Land and Sjölander (STLS) to study a model two-component fermion - boson system (3He-4He mixture) in two dimensions. We calculate the partial static structure factors and effective potentials, given a model bare interaction with hard-core plus an attractive tail. We study the dependence of these quantities on the 3He fraction in the mixture. Collective modes for the mixture are also discussed. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved
