Serum Hepcidin Status of Sickle Cell Disease Subjects with Multiple Blood Transfusion in Nigeria
Abstract: Objectives: No effective physiological mechanism for excess iron excretion is known in humans. Conditions such as sickle cell disease (SCD), where red blood cell transfusion is a frequently employed therapy can subsequently result in ready accumulation and circulation of exogenous iron as non-transferrin bound iron in tissues with possible impairment of iron homeostasis in them. Aim: The influence of multiple blood transfusions on the patterns of iron homeostasis in correlation …

An Offline Space Division Multiplexing Based Elastic Optical Network Model with Switching and Modulation Format Adaptation for Flexible Spectrum and Spatial Assignment
Abstract: Abstract: The Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) based Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) (SDM-bEONs) is the proposed solution to both, the required upgradation of the network’s capacity constrained by the non-linear Shannon’s limit and the provisioning needed for the future diverse Internet traffic’s required capacity. With SDM providing ‘space’ as an additional freedom degree, the assignment of resource (i.e., spectrum and space) in the SDM-b-EONs translates into the Routing, Modulation Format, Space, …

Variation of Ground Acceleration with Increase in Lateral Distance
Abstract: Ground acceleration induced by dynamic loading decreases with increasing lateral distance from the source because of wave attenuation and energy dissipation through the ground. Accurate estimation of ground acceleration at different distances is essential for evaluating the safety and performance of nearby structures, particularly in blasting, seismic, and heavy construction activities. This study presents a simplified linear attenuation model for estimating ground acceleration at greater lateral distances using limited measured …
