Improved 3-D frequency-selective structures and their applications by Ahmed Abdelmottaleb Abdelfattah Attia Omar

“…A 67% and 79% thickness reduction compared to the basic bandpass 3-D frequency-selective structure is achieved by employing three- and five-layer folded substrate, respectively. Moreover, a half-cylindrically shaped radome as an example of a conformal frequency-selective surface is constructed based on the proposed technique and integrated with a broadband horn antenna. …”

Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…On the other hand, metathesis reactions of (<b>1-Dipp</b>)SiCl with sources of H- or tBuO- are found to result in a ring contraction process, generating five-membered aza-butadienyl SiIV-complexes of the form (<b>5-Dipp</b>)Si(NDipp)R (R = H, ^tBuO). …”

Genetic and observational associations of nuclear magnetic resonance-measured lipid-related traits and atherosclerotic cardiovascular mortality in the Mexico City Prospective Study by Wang, Y

“…NMR lipid traits were also associated with a range of baseline sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. GWAS of five major lipid traits revealed hundreds of conditionally independent signals, including multiple previously known genetic loci involved in lipid metabolism (e.g., variants in <em>APOE, CELSR2, PCSK9, APOB, HMGCR, LPA, LPL, LDLR</em> for LDL-C) plus several potentially novel ones. …”

Molecular and immunological profiling of Bartonella spp. in shelter cat population in Peninsular Malaysia by Alias, Nurul Najwa Ainaa

“…Surveys from management practices of shelter cats revealed that five out of ten shelters were practicing ectoparasite control and 93.3% (28/30) shelter’s personnel were aware that cat and cat flea might contribute to zoonotic diseases. …”
