Background: To evaluate dietary use of iodized salt as a risk factor for hyperthyroidism in people living in iodine deficient areas of Pakistan.Methods: In this case control study, patients (n=150), 50 male and 100 female, aged 35-75 years, from Northern region of Pakistan, with goiter and hyperthyroidism; and healthy control group (n=100), 32 male
Modelling the spatial distributions of human parasite species is crucial to understanding the environmental determinants of infection as well as for guiding the planning of control programmes.Here, we use ecological niche modelling to map the current potential distribution of the macroparasitic disease, lymphatic filariasis (LF), in Africa, and to
Fault prediction is an important research area that aids software development and the maintenance process.It is a field that has been continuously improving its approaches in order to reduce the fault resolution time and effort.With an aim to contribute towards building new approaches for fault prediction, this paper proposes Entropy Churn Laced On
This paper presents a cross-type network design with a novel reconfigurable functionality to realize a tunable multiband antenna.By attaching a reconfigurable network at the feeding port of a broadband antenna, multi-input impedance adjustment enables the production of multimatching operating bands.Each band can be independently controlled by a sin
Abstract We study the algebra of Wilson line operators in three-dimensional N $$ mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric U(M ) gauge theories with a Higgs phase related to a belly oil complex Grassmannian Gr(M, N ), and its connection to K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants for Gr(M, N ).For different Chern-Simons levels, the Wilson loop algebra realizes
