Design and optimization of printed spiral coils for wireless passive sensors
IET Wireless Sensor Systems, 2021 Monitoring physiological signals during regular life might provide many benefits including early detection of abnormalities and tracking the severities of diseases. A wireless connection between the passive sensor and the scanner eliminates the obtrusive

Predictors of mosquito net use in Ghana
Malaria Journal, 2011 Background During the past decade the malaria control community has been successful in dramatically increasing the number of households that own mosquito nets. However, as many as half of nets already in households go unused.

Field Evaluation of the Bio-Efficacy of Three Pyrethroid Based Coils against Wild Populations of Anthropophilic Mosquitoes in Northern Tanzania. [PDF]
, 2010 This study aims to assess the feeding inhibition and repellency effect of three brands of mosquito coils in experimental huts (East African design). Evaluated products were all pyrethroid-based mosquito coils-Kiboko(R), Total(R) and Risasi(R).

Design and Construction of Novel Instrumentation for Low-Field MR Tomography
Measurement Science Review, 2018 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a very popular tool for diagnostic applications and research studies. Low-field MR scanners, usually with an open design, are suitable for claustrophobic and obese patients, as well as for children, who may be fearful ...

The mode of action of spatial repellents and their impact on vectorial capacity of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto. [PDF]
, 2014 Malaria vector control relies on toxicity of insecticides used in long lasting insecticide treated nets and indoor residual spraying. This is despite evidence that sub-lethal insecticides reduce human-vector contact and malaria transmission.

In vitro and in vivo imaging characteristics assessment of polymeric coils compared with standard platinum coils for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Conventional platinum coils cause imaging artifacts that reduce imaging quality and therefore impair imaging interpretation on intraprocedural or noninvasive follow-up imaging.

Coiled‐coils: The long and short of it [PDF]
BioEssays, 2016 Coiled‐coils are found in proteins throughout all three kingdoms of life. Coiled‐coil domains of some proteins are almost invariant in sequence and length, betraying a structural and functional role for amino acids along the entire length of the coiled‐coil.

An Experimental Hut Study to Quantify the Effect of DDT and Airborne Pyrethroids on Entomological Parameters of Malaria Transmission. [PDF]
, 2014 Current malaria vector control programmes rely on insecticides with rapid contact toxicity. However, spatial repellents can also be applied to reduce man-vector contact, which might ultimately impact malaria transmission.

Passive tracking and system interfaces for interventional MRI [PDF]
, 2009 One of the major pre-requisite of MR-guided interventions is the visualization and localization of interventional devices relative to the vascular system and surrounding tissues. A number of approaches have been proposed for device visualization in an MR
