The relation between maternal serum leptin level and glucose in gestational diabetes and in normal pregnancy by Mustafa Al-Ahmad, Basma Ezzat, Sulaiman, Waleed Raouf, Mustafa, Nazih Shaban, Kashmola, Muhanad Ali Hamdon, Hajjaj, Muna

“…The role of leptin during pregnancy especially in maternal-fetal metabolism and intrauterine growth remain unclear .Therefore, the measurement of leptin hormone during pregnancy may eventually be helpful in predicting patient risk of developing gestational diabetes .this study is done to monitor serum leptin changes in pregnant women’s associated with Gestational diabetes (GDM) and to compare them with normal pregnancy with particular emphasis on fasting blood glucose (FBG) concentration.it is a prospective randomized double blind study. 42 pregnant women in 2nd & 3rd trimester Participated in this study, Obesity, hypertension and previous history of diabetes were used as exclusion criteria. The base line level of serum leptin was 6.9±1.8 ng/ml in healthy non-pregnant women’s, whereas the base line values of serum leptin was 1.83 ±1.17 ng/ml and 1.86±1.10 ng/ml for group 1 and group 2 respectively, this difference is statistically significant. …”

Position of static cylinder effect on base flows by Asadullah, Mohammed, Khan, Sher Afghan, Asrar, Waqar, Sulaeman, Erwin

“…It is found that the control has marginally influenced the base and wall flow field when the control was placed at different positions along the imaginary line from separation to reattachment angled at 30° to the horizontal base and the flow field in the base area along the separation line is mostly independent of its locations except near the exit of the enlarged duct where the flow field is mostly influenced by the back pressure. …”

Implementation of GLCM features in thermal imaging for human affective state detection by Abd Latif, Muhammad Hafiz, Md. Yusof, Hazlina, Sidek, Shahrul Na'im, Rusli, Nazreen

“…This work attempts to investigate the suitability and sensitivity of the thermal imaging technique for affect detection by analysingthe heat pattern on the facial skin. Four region of interests (ROIs), Supraorbital, Periorbital, Nasal and Mouth are looked into where the second order statistical features (Contrast, Correlation, Energy, and Homogeneity) are extracted and used to predict the emotional states.The findings of this study indicates that thermal imaging as an alternative, contactless and non-invasive method for appraising human emotional states.…”
