Omnidirectional antennas transmit and receive over large bandwidth

For exchanging wideband signals between two distant ground stations, low-gain antennas with wide angular coverage and circular polarization are mounted on a single mast extending from a satellite. The transmitting antenna has two decoupled ports or inputs for eliminating switching problems when using two transmitters on different frequencies

C-reactive protein: associations with haematological variables, cardiovascular risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease

C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, this association is confounded by mutual relationships with both classical and haematological cardiovascular risk factors. We, therefore, measured CRP with a high-sensitivity assay in stored plasma samples from 414 men and 515 women in the north Glasgow MONICA (MONItoring trends in CArdiovascular diseases) survey, to study its correlation with haematological variables, classical risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease. CRP correlated with age, oral contraceptive use, menopause and most classical cardiovascular risk factors (except blood pressure). CRP also correlated with plasma levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 6, and haematocrit, viscosity, red cell aggregation, white cell count, and coagulation factors [fibrinogen, factor (F) VII in women, FVIII, FIX] and inhibitors (antithrombin and protein C in women; protein S) but not coagulation activation markers. CRP was significantly associated with prevalent cardiovascular disease in both men (P = 0.03) and women (P = 0.009), however, the association became non-significant after adjustment for firstly classical risk factors, then fibrinogen. We conclude that correlations with classical and haematological risk factors account for a substantial component of the association of CRP with prevalent cardiovascular disease, but there is evidence of a residual, independent effect among women

The EVAS model: solving e-voting problems in Nigeria

E-voting is said to have a lot of loop holes. Solving these problems first starts with their definition as either technical or procedural. In this paper we look at the problem from the procedure perspective and we identify some issues that previous models do not cater for. The model we proposed allows for high-level monitoring of the balloting process and takes advantage of the semantic search process to ensure security of the e-voting procedures through over-the-board authentication . The model also solves the old problem of recounting of the ballots/votes
