American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) presents distinct active clinical forms with different grades of severity, known as localised (LCL), intermediate (ICL) and diffuse (DCL) cutaneous leishmaniasis.LCL and DCL are associated with a polarised T-helper (Th)1 and Th2 immune response, respectively, whereas ICL, or chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis, He
An Argument for Developing Waste-to-Energy Technologies in Saudi Arabia
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is a chronic environmental problem in most of the developing countries, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).The concept of Waste-to-Energy (WTE) is known as one of the several technologies capable of benefiting a society, which desires to reduce fossil-fuel Cobot addiction.Currently, there is no WTE fa
Patch Antenna Loaded With Paired Shorting Pins and H-Shaped Slot for 28/38 GHz Dual-Band MIMO Applications
A novel dual-band patch antenna operating at 28/38 GHz is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems in this cutting board paper.The antenna utilizes substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) transmission line as the feed by means of a coupling slot on the SIW.A square patch antenna functions as the radiator for 28 GHz.The
A novel cis-regulatory element drives early expression of Nkx3.2 in the gnathostome primary jaw joint
The acquisition of movable jaws was a major event during vertebrate evolution.The role of NK3 homeobox 2 (Nkx3.2) transcription factor in patterning the primary jaw joint of gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates) is well known, however knowledge about its regulatory mechanism is lacking.In this study, we report a proximal enhancer element of Nkx3.2 that
