We proposed a new type of distributed feedback laser with alternating active- and passive-cavities (APC DFB), which enjoys the same quantum well layer where the butt-joint re-growth process can be avoided.By utilizing the chirp characteristics of the APC DFB laser in a Bong Bowl delayed self-heterodyne system, a chirped microwave signal with a swee

We describe the iterative algorithm for television image superposition.The superposition is defined by offsets, scale, and rotates.Also additive and multiplicative noise influences the image.The main aim of developing this algorithm is to reduce the time of processing images for estimation superposition parameters.Reducing processing time is provid
Background: Physician self-referral occurs where a full-time paid doctor diverts patients from one hospital to another in which he or she has financial interest.Aim: This study is aimed at investigating the views of service users, physicians and policymakers on physician self-referral practice in public hospitals in Nigeria.Setting: The study was c
Introduction: Hyperactivated histone deacetylases (HDACs) act as epigenetic repressors on gene transcription and are frequently observed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Although multiple pharmacological HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) have been developed, none is available in BAKERY human HCC.Objectives: To investigate the pharmacological effects
