State-of-art technologies to detect the DNA damage and repair in sperm and future outlook
Published 2023“…If the DNA in sperm is damaged, it may be unable to fertilize the egg, or if fertilization occurs, the resulting embryo may fail to progress normally or properly implant into the uterine lining. Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is a measurement used to determine the amount of sperm that have abnormal genetic material and has been becoming widely used in clinic. …”

Compact ultra-wideband bandpass filter with variable notch characteristics based on transversal signal-interaction concepts
Published 2014“…The filter configuration comprises of two transmission paths which include folded T-shaped stepped impedance resonators (SIRs) that are capacitively coupled with the input/output lines to enable signal transmission. It is shown that by combining the filters of different passband centre frequencies an UWB filter can be realised with either a single- or dual-notch function. …”

Periodic array of complementary artificial magnetic conductor metamaterials-based multiband antennas for broadband wireless transceivers
Published 2016“…This study presents the empirical results of a low-profile light-weight antenna based on a periodic array of the complementary artificial magnetic conductor metamaterial structure, which is realised by loading the antenna with E-shaped slits and inductive microstrip lines grounded using metallic via-holes. The finalised prototype antenna operates over a broadband of 0.41–4.1 GHz, which corresponds to a fractional bandwidth of 165.84%, and has dimensions of 40mm × 35mm × 1.6mm or 0.054λo × 0.047λo × 0.0021λo, where λo is free-space wavelength at operating frequency of 410 MHz. …”
